The Haunted Mask
THE HAUNTED MASK Goosebumps - 11 R.L. Stine (An Undead Scan v1.5) 1 1 “What are you going to be for Halloween?” Sabrina Mason asked. She moved her fork around in the bright yellow macaroni on her lunch tray, but didn’t take a bite. Carly Beth Caldwell sighed and shook her head. The overhead light on the lunchroom ceiling made her straight brown hair gleam. “I don’t know. A witch, maybe.” Sabrina’s mouth dropped open. “You? A witch?” “Well, why not?” Carly Beth demanded, staring across the long table at her friend. “I thought you were afraid of witches,” Sabrina replied. She raised a forkful of macaroni to her mouth and started to chew. “This macaroni is made of rubber,” she complained, chewing hard. “Remind me to start packing a lunch.” “I am not afraid of witches!” Carly Beth insisted, her dark eyes flashing angrily. “You just think I’m a big scaredy-cat, don’t you?” Sabrina giggled. “Yes.” She flipped her black ponytail behind her shoulders with a quick toss of her head. “Hey, don’t eat the macaroni. Really, Carly Beth. It’s gross.” She reached across the table to keep Carly Beth from raising her fork. “But I’m starving !” Carly Beth complained. The lunchroom grew crowded and noisy. At the next table, a group of fifth-grade boys were tossing a half-full milk carton back and forth. Carly Beth saw Chuck Greene ball up a bright red fruit rollup and shove the whole sticky thing in his mouth. “Yuck!” She made a disgusted face at him. -

Fear: Body Alert! ______
Fear: Body Alert! ____________________________________________________________________________________ Core Concepts The brain interprets sensations and triggers fight-or-flight responses. The fight-or-fight reactions prepare the body for vigorous physical activity needed for defense (fight) or escape (flight). The sympathetic nervous system rapidly conducts nerve signals to many body systems to trigger short term changes that prepare the body for vigorous physical activity. The brain also signals endocrine glands to release hormones (chemical messengers), such as adrenaline and cortisol, that result in more widespread and longer lasting fear responses. The parasympathetic nervous system restores a relaxed state to maintain homeostasis. Stress (a prolonged fear response) may result in health problems. Class time required: Approximately 2 forty minute class periods. Teacher Provides: For each student Copy of student handout entitled Fear: Body Alert! For Part 1 each team of 2-4 students will need: Bag containing: o Small plastic bag with 1 set of Fight-or-Flight / Relax cards (page iv). Consider laminating and/or printing on card stock for use by multiple classes. o 2 envelopes. Label one “Fight-or-Flight” and the other “Relax” For Part 2 each team of 2-4 students will need: 1.5 mL microtubes or other small tubes prepared as shown in the chart below: Label on Tube Contents of Tube – 1 mL of Immediately before pH 4 buffer 1 minute after pH 9 buffer 10 minutes after pH 7 buffer 0.01% Bromothymol blue Adrenaline Test Solution solution Life Sciences Learning Center i Copyright © 2013, University of Rochester May be copied for classroom use Plastic droppers labeled: o Immediately before o 1 minute after o 10 minutes after o Adrenaline Test Solution Hormone Test Sheet (page v) printed on plastic transparency Small bag labeled “Cortisol Test Paper” containing at least 5 small pieces (cut paper into pieces that are about ¼ inch long) of pH 1-12 test paper. -

The Prairie Wind
The Prairie Wind Newsletter of the Illinois Chapter of the SCBWI Current Issue • Fall 2012 • From the Editor With this issue we are further tweaking our publication schedule. Like the previous issue, this issue as a whole will be available only to SCBWI members and only in PDF form for the first three months. But we’ve decided to post two of our regular features, the list of Classes, Retreats & Workshops and the News Roundup, on the Prairie Wind website now because of their time‐sensitive nature. We hope this will help our members to publicize their events in a timely manner. Beginning December 15, the whole issue will be available to all on the website. This issue has many delights. Lisa Bierman and Alice McGinty have chosen a new theme for their column, “Going the Distance,” inspired by the Olympics. Lisa draws inspiration from “the Japanese equestrian athlete, 71‐year‐old Hiroshi Hoketsu, who competed in both this year’s London Olympics and Beijing four years ago. From his first Olympic Games in 1964 to his next, in Beijing—a 44‐year gap. Talk about a hole in your resumé!” Kelli Roos, our “Illustrator in the Spotlight,” has cleverly chosen to write about “Piles.” We all have our piles. Learn about Kelli’s: “I don't have a place for this pile. I created it, sheet by sheet, over the past two years. I put hundreds of hours into this stack of papers, notebooks, and printouts.” Then Eileen Meyer maps out the “path to publication” of her first book, Who’s Faster? Animals on the Move. -
