Adelia Goodwin’s Secret Journal – Stranded in the Desert
Emma’s world-wide quest for Adelia Goodwin takes an unexpected detour when her trusted plane, Bessie, has a GPS breakdown. Forced to crash land in the middle of the desert, Emma is faced with a difficult decision: continue to chase after Adelia on foot and brave the inhospitable wilderness of the Namib desert, or take shelter at a nearby camp?
Look what Emma found to help make her decision: an old map! If you were Emma, what would you do?
The Namib desert can be pretty hard to live in, but there are a few animals that are tough enough to thrive there: the dik-dik, oryx, and black rhino are just a few!

Turning into Frogsicles
We see lots of frogs in the spring and summer, but have you ever wondered what they do when the weather gets colder? Many of them hibernate, but our little wood frog buddies do things a little differently. After they bury themselves under debris (leaves and twigs) on the forest floor, they turn themselves into frogsicles!
As the temperature drops, everything the wood frog does stops. We mean EVERYTHING! It stops moving, breathing, its blood stops flowing and even its heart stops beating! During winter, 35-45% of the wood frog’s body may freeze and become ice-like.
It can pull this trick off by storing glucose in its liver. The glucose gets released into the frog’s blood while it’s ‘playing dead’, preventing its entire body from freezing. The glucose acts as antifreeze to keep this little guy alive while staying completely still. Once things warm up in the spring, the frog comes back to life (so to speak) and returns to its regular activities.

Clean Up Litter for Frogs
When it comes to breathing, humans have lungs, fish have gills, and frogs have…skin? You read that right! Frogs have what is called permeable skin, which means they can absorb oxygen through it. The bad news is that oxygen isn’t the only thing they absorb. They can also soak up whatever chemicals and pollutants are nearby, so it’s very important that we keep their habitats clean!
For today’s Eco-Activity, we’re going to clean up litter for frogs!
Tips for your cleanup:
- Accept the Stash the Trash Mission in the Earth Rangers App to help guide you on your cleanup.
- Make sure you have an adult with you to help you stay safe.
- Check the weather. If it’s sunny, don’t forget to wear sunscreen!
- Sort as you pick up. Keep your recycling and garbage in separate bags so you can dispose of them properly when you’re done.

Are YOU a Red Panda?
Did you know that red pandas aren’t actually pandas? They belong to a whole different family, called Mustelidae, which includes weasels, otters, badgers, raccoons, coatis, and skunks!
Just like members of every family, our mustelid pals have different personalities and hobbies, but which one are you most like? For today’s Eco-Activity, take the quiz and find out whether you’re a raccoon, red panda, sea otter or a wolverine.
