CORNER
Nebula Jar
What you’ll need:
Clear jar with a lid to
hold your galaxy,
Water, paint and glitter
to give it some life
Add cotton balls for
texture and cool visual
eff ects,
A spoon to push
everything down, and
an adult to share your
galaxy with.
(You may also want
to lay down some
newspaper to avoid
making a mess, just
don’t use this one!)
What to do:
The foundation for
any sort of life is water,
so poor a little of it into
your jar. Next add paint
to give your galaxy some
color, add the cotton
balls and then put some
glitter on top for some
extra sparkle. Use the
spoon to press things
down and create more
room. Stir things around
so that the cotton ball
absorbs the paint color
and water. Repeat the
water, paint, cotton ball
and glitter process until
you’ve reached the top.
Then screw the lid on
fi rmly and you’re done.
You can use a diff erent
color of paint or glitter
each layer or you can
keep it simple and use
the same all the way
through. Now you have
your own little nebula
that you can keep
anywhere you’d like.

When was the last time
you got curious?
We’re not talking about
the last time you asked your
parents a question, they gave
an answer, and you thought
that was enough.
We
mean
asked-your-
parents-and-your-teach-
er,
searched-the-internet,
checked-out-a-book-at-the-
library curious. That’s radical
curiosity and, if you’ve got it,
we want you to be a junior re-
porter for No Adults Allowed.
All junior reporters will receive
an offi cial Junior Press Badge
from the Keizertimes when
their stories get printed.
Reporters are also known
as journalists, and when we’re
lucky – and good at our jobs
– we get to do all sorts of
cool things. But, it starts with
curiosity and, really, curiosity
is just being brave enough to
ask questions we don’t know
the answers to.
We want you to be
our eyes and ears in
your
middle
or
elementary school. Are you project or the classroom pet?
Why is probably the hardest
working on a cool art project
in school? Is your class raising question, but here’s a hint: don’t

for a good cause? Do you have ask what motivated someone to

to know when they became
a teacher, but if the school is
holding a contest or fundraiser,
we absolutely need to know
when it is happening.
Where can also be an easy
question to answer. Just tell the
reader where the person works
or where people can donate
money or items for a good
cause.
Lastly, we have how. This
question can become the best
part of your story. If the teacher
you are talking to has a special
way of helping their students,
explain it. If students are raising
money for a good cause, tell the
reader how they are doing it in
unique ways. These parts of the
story can inspire other readers to
jump in and help or understand
how the world works.
After you’ve collected all the
information, you need to write
your article. We don’t care how
you do it, just make sure you
answer all your questions in
the story. If you need help with
this, you can ask one of our
reporters by sending an email to
noadults@keizertimes.com. You
can send completed stories to
that same address.
If you do all that work, you’ll
earn your very own Keizertimes
junior press badge in addition to
seeing your name and story in
