  1. Question 1
    The Dead Sea, located between Israel and Jordan, is nearly ten times saltier than the ocean. This extreme salinity means no fish or plants can survive in it — hence the name. However, the mineral-rich mud and water have been used for health treatments for thousands of years. What is ironic about the Dead Sea?
    • It's between two countries
    • Despite being called 'dead,' it has been valuable for human health for millennia
    • It's very salty
    • It's not really a sea
  2. Question 2
    In 1983, Dr. Sally Ride became the first American woman in space. She later founded Sally Ride Science, an organization encouraging girls to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and math. What does this tell you about Dr. Ride's priorities?
    • She only cared about her own career
    • She stopped working after 1983
    • She wanted to inspire the next generation, especially girls, to follow in her footsteps
    • She didn't like science

    • It's green
    • It grows in Asia
    • It's a type of tree
