Explorations with Professor Ana Lyze—Expert in Outlandish Oddities

A FUN unit study for kids ages 8–13

Want to switch on the excitement mode to science investigations and fun learning? Introduce your child to The Curiosity Files™ and discover some unusually interesting subjects . . . you know, the unfamiliar, zany, and strange things of nature that kids are so attracted to?

Children just love learning about this outlandish creature, and they’ll be more than amused to learn “Everything You Never Wanted to Know About Slime Eels”!

Professor Ana Lyze and her research “spy” team specialize in the obscure, the abnormal, and the bizarre. They search land and seas for oddities and make each one a star, such as outlandish insects, rare diseases, unique gems, and more.

With The Curiosity Files™, children will become educated about subjects they’d never find otherwise. Did you know that slime eels are the only living creatures—on land or water—that have a skull but no backbone? They are also a food delicacy in South Korea!

Slime Eels will keep your kids occupied and answering questions like these:

• What other name is this unique creature known by?

• Why is a slime eel so difficult for scientists to classify?
• What does a slime eel eat?

• And a whole lot more!

With this unit, kids will think creatively and exercise their minds while exploring many interesting and related topics. Kids will encounter The Write Stuff with grammar and writing activities. They’ll study math concepts by creating a restaurant menu full of unique delicacies and using addition and multiplication to calculate the bill and tip as they play restaurant! Children will also enjoy the Slippery Spelling section where they can tackle a list of commonly misspelled words. Add fun to your spelling practice through creative, hands-on activities to increase your spelling skills. Easily adapt this study for elementary and middle/high school by using the provided research ideas for older learners and choosing from two levels of vocabulary lists and spelling work sheets.

In the Lab will bring smiles and utilization of knowledge learned. Make your own slime or create a hanging diagram of the ocean zones!
