TEACHING TIPSBefore ReadingBuild Anticipation

• Tell students it would take at least two years to send astronauts to Mars and back. Ask: What physical and mental challenges might astronauts face on the journey? (Revisit the question after students read the story.)

Build ComprehensionKey Ideas and Details

• Where is the HI-SEAS habitat? What is its purpose? How do HI-SEAS missions bring NASA closer to its goal of one day sending humans to Mars?

Integration of Knowledge and Ideas • One of the captions on page 5 asks if the HI-SEAS site looks like Mars. Have students answer the question by comparing the photos in the magazine with images in books about Mars.

Start a DiscussionCritical Thinking

• Is the HI-SEAS habitat in Mauna Loa, Hawaii, the best place for scientists to understand how long-term space travel affects the human mind? Challenge students to ground their answers in examples from the text.

FAST FACTS • The Hawaii Space Exploration Analog and Simulation habitat, known as HI-SEAS, is funded by a $1.2 million grant from NASA and is operated by the University of Hawaii at Manoa.

• The first HI-SEAS mission, which began March 28, 2014, lasted four months. The pro-gram’s fourth and latest mis-sion lasted a year and ended on August 28, 2016.

• Additional eight-month HI-SEAS missions are expected to take place in 2017 and 2018.

• The goal of the HI-SEAS program is to understand crew dynamics during long-term space travel, in preparation for NASA’s goal of sending humans to Mars in the 2030s.

• Among the six crew members of the yearlong HI-SEAS mission are a physicist/engineer from Germany, an astrobiologist from France, and a soil-and-water scientist from the United States.

• At its closest point, Mars is about 34 million miles from Earth. It is the fourth planet from the sun.

CLOSE READING OF THE COVER STORY Support close reading by following these steps.

Read for Understanding • Have students read the cover story independently. Then read the story together, stopping to discuss impor-tant facts and details along the way. Ask: What are some of the features of the simulated Mars habitat known as HI-SEAS? How much time did writer Jeffrey Kluger spend in the habitat? How long did the scientists stay? How did the stay simulate life on Mars? What do researchers hope to learn?

Craft and Structure • Have students write a paragraph analyzing the author’s purpose. Tell them the paragraph should answer these questions: What was Kluger’s purpose in writing the article? What evidence in the text supports your claim?

Integration of Knowledge and Ideas • Discuss: What information do the photos provide that the text does not? Do you think readers need to see the photos in order to under-stand the HI-SEAS mission? Why?

• Compare two texts. Log in at timeforkids.com, click on TFK Magazine, and scroll through to find the March 6, 2015, issue: “Mission Twinpossible.” Have students read

The kitchen has a sink and a mini-fridge. Crew members can cook using the microwave, electric hot plate, or toaster oven.

In the lab, scientists monitor water and air quality. They also tend a garden. Light- bulbs are used to grow tomatoes and other plants.

The storage area holds about an eight-month supply of food. Much of the food is dehydrated.

At the top of the stairs are six small bedrooms. There’s also a bathroom with just a sink and toilet.

The work space has six desks, one for each crew member.

The exercise area has weights, a treadmill, and a stationary bike.

Read the story. Then fill in the bubbles to answer the questions.

The Future of LibrariesEnter the main branch of BiblioTech, a public library in San Antonio, Texas, and you might think you have stumbled into an electronics store. There are 48 desktop computers, an iPad bar, and some Microsoft Surface tables. What you won’t find are shelves full of books. It is the country’s first digital-only public library. Users check out electronic books to read on their devices or on one of the library’s 800 e-readers and tablets.

“It’s a small space,” head librarian Ashley Eklof told TFK. “But we don’t need much room. Instead of bookshelves, we have a community space.” Is this what all libraries will look like one day?

A PLACE TO CREATEAmericans love libraries. But nowadays, libraries are being challenged to meet new needs.

They are rising to the challenge. Last year, the Arlington Heights Memorial Library, in Illinois, went through a makeover. Changes included adding a do-it-yourself project space for teens and a production studio. “Libraries are [becoming] more dynamic, active spaces,” says Jason Kuhl, the library’s executive director. “People are using libraries to gather, learn, and create.”

The role of librarians is changing too. “Now we nurture creativity and learning,” says American Library Association president Barbara Stripling.

Adapted from TIME For Kids, March 7, 2014

Read the debate. Then fill in the bubbles to answer the questions.

Should Kids Be Rewarded for Doing Chores?Many kids help out around the house by doing chores. In return, some parents give their kids rewards. “Kids need positive reinforcement to motivate them,” Chris Bergman, founder of ChoreMonster, a rewards app, told TFK. Susie Walton, a parenting educator, disagrees. She believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn’t worth doing unless you get something in return. “A household is a team effort,” she says.

TEST 2

1. What is another way to say positive reinforcement, in the introduction?A tricksB rewardsC moneyD help

Jacob Weissman, 9 East Brunswick, New Jersey

Kids should not be rewarded for doing chores. They should want to lend a hand around the house for the sake of being helpful. Parents do so much for their children, and do we reward them? Some kids grow up with the belief that it is only important to do something if you get something in return. I think kids get the wrong idea when they are always rewarded for chores.

Allison Norwood, 10 Plymouth, Massachusetts

Kids should be rewarded for doing chores. It makes them feel good about themselves when they get rewards for doing good things. Also, kids learn that you have to work to earn money. If kids have their own money, they can do what they want with it, and they don't need their parents to buy things for them. If kids are working toward a goal, they will take their time and do a good job. Parents won't have to redo the chores.
