​Why Students Should Say “No” To Drugs
 
I think students should not take drugs. Students shouldn’t take drugs because they are very dangerous. Sometimes people die from overdosing on illegal drugs. If a student is on drugs, they might take more risks than normal and get hurt that way too. They might jump out of a window on LSD. Some illegal drugs are very addicting. That means once you start using them, it can be very difficult to stop. Once a person is addicted, they will do anything to get the drug, including commit crimes. Some drugs affect the development or structure of the brain. They can make the brain not work as well, which can affect the person’s future. Finally, students shouldn’t take illegal drugs because they are, well, illegal. If they get caught, they could go to jail. They could lose their spot at college, or they could lose a scholarship. Clearly, students should avoid taking illegal drugs.

In the new NSTA Daily Do, How Does the Hot Air Balloon Take Off?, students engage in science and engineering practices and the thinking tool of the flow of energy and matter (crosscutting concept) to figure out what is "rising" and how the science ideas of energy transfer and the movement of matter can explain this and other phenomena. This task is adapted from the OpenSciEd Weather, Climate, & Water Cycling Unit (Lesson 5: What happens to the air near the ground when it is warmed up?).
