  • Big Brain News Ep. 9: Moon Chemistry, Super-Bees, and a Sneaky-Healthy Chocolate Cloud

    Big Brain News Ep. 9: Moon Chemistry, Super-Bees, and a Sneaky-Healthy Chocolate Cloud
    Feb 24 2026
    In this episode (kid-safe, classroom-friendly): 1) Jupiter’s giant moons & early chemistry • Scientists use computer simulations to model the swirling disk of gas and ice around young Jupiter. • In that environment, simple elements can combine into more complex organic molecules. • Key idea for kids: “building blocks” in space don’t guarantee life—but they give scientists good questions to explore. 2) Beekeepers helping a rare dark honeybee • Bees pollinate plants, helping flowers become fruits and seeds. • Queen bees mate during special flights; too much mixing can make rare types harder to protect. • Beekeepers plan controlled “wedding flight” events to support healthy future generations. 3) Silken chocolate mousse & heart-smart swaps • This mousse gets its creamy texture from silken tofu (made from soybeans). • Kid-friendly food science: blending traps air for fluffiness; chilling changes texture. Parent/Teacher Corner prompt: These stories connect to three big themes: exploring space with science tools, caring for ecosystems, and making small, practical food choices. Discussion Questions: • If you could send a robot to one of Jupiter’s moons, what tools should it bring and why? • What’s one small thing our family could do this week to help pollinators like bees?

    Big Brain News Ep. 8: Shadow Selfies, Spotted Quolls, and Sweet Potato Science!
    Feb 23 2026
    In this episode, we explore three curiosity-building stories designed for families and classrooms. Story 1: Mars rover “shadow selfie” • What a rover shadow can show about where it’s exploring • What craters are, and why rock layers inside them help scientists study Mars • How rover missions look for clues about Mars’ watery past Story 2: A rare northern quoll on a trail camera (Australia) • What a northern quoll is (a small marsupial) • How motion-sensing trail cameras work without bothering animals • How sightings help scientists understand and protect habitats Story 3: Cook a Sweet Potato Day (food science) • Sweet potatoes as storage roots (plants store energy underground) • How heat can change starches into sugars during baking/roasting • A simple observation game: notice changes in color, smell, and texture Parent/Teacher Corner These stories support conversations about how scientists observe the world (robot missions and field cameras) and how food connects to plant growth and energy. Discussion Questions 1) If you could send a robot anywhere to take pictures, where would you send it and why? 2) What’s one new way you’d like to try cooking a sweet potato, and what do you think it would taste like?

    Big Brain News Ep. 7: Gold Medals, Gentle Museums, and a Rocket That’s Rehearsing
    Feb 22 2026
    Big Brain News — Episode 7 (02/22/2026) What we cover: • Winter Olympics teamwork: Team USA earns its 11th gold medal of the Games in freeski mixed team aerials, setting a new U.S. Winter Olympics gold-medal record. • Sensory-friendly museums: The Museum of the Moving Image in NYC hosts “Access Mornings,” offering a calmer, less-crowded time designed especially for children on the autism spectrum. • Space practice: Firefly Aerospace prepares for another Alpha rocket test mission (planned no earlier than 02/27/2026), highlighting how engineers test, learn, and try again. Key words (kid-friendly): • Team event: People take turns and combine scores. • Sensory-friendly: Adjusting lights, sounds, and crowding to help visitors feel comfortable. • Reliable: Working the same safe way again and again. • Satellite: A machine that travels around Earth in space. Parent/Teacher Corner: Use these stories to discuss practice, planning, and designing spaces that work for many different needs. Discussion questions: 1) What’s one place you’d like to be quieter or less crowded, and how could we make that happen? 2) When something doesn’t work the first time, what helps you try again?
