These questions focus on gravitational waves, gravitational wave detectors and how observing gravitational waves can improve our understanding of the universe.

These student questions focus on autonomous vehicles and the nature of research that will support their widespread use.

Students will design, build, test and optmize their own light-based detector for waves (a simple optical seismometer) and will explore how this detector relates to more sophisticated gravitational wave detectors.

Students will generate and observe waves in a clear pan of water, drawing connections between these waves and light and gravitational waves.

These discussion prompts cover the general properties and types of waves, how humans and other animals detect waves, and the design of laboratory wave detectors.

Students will search the Science News archive for stories related to artificial intelligence, its applications and potential issues.

This guide focuses on one big discovery in 2016 (the detection of gravitational waves) and one hot topic (the challenges in developing and embracing self-driving cars).

Students will search the Science News archives for stories related to coral reef science and coral bleaching.

Students will answer questions based on the Science News article "Rebuilding reefs."

In this guide, students will explore how scientists are working to save coral reefs, which are under threat because of climate change and other human-related activities.
