Cryptozoology? It’s the study of creatures science has never confirmed exist!

Spoiler: it’s a pseudoscience‼️ But a very important part of human culture!

Real science follows the evidence. Cryptozoology starts with a spooky story, then goes hunting for proof to match👀

But even the wildest legends can start with something real. Take the Kraken, the sea monster of Scandinavian sailors’ tales, usually pictured as a giant octopus or squid dragging ships under the waves. Giant squid really do grow over 8 metres long. Not ship-crunching, but enough to say the legend didn’t come out of nowhere!

This month in OYLA Junior: the real backstories of the Yeti, the Bunyip, the Chupacabra and Mothman!

Words can look the same in two languages and mean totally different things. These are called FALSE FRIENDS👇

🎁 Gift = poison in German.
It’s the same word as the English gift, and both come from an old Germanic word meaning “to give”. German’s version took a dark turn through old medicine. Fun twist: poison and potion are related too!

🛏️ Camera = room in Italian.
It comes from the Greek word for an arched roof. The camera obscura was a dark room that eventually shrank into a box you could carry, so the camera in your pocket is basically a tiny dark room. Even chamber has the same origin!

🍞 Pain = bread in French.
It comes from Latin panis, which left crumbs all over English: a pantry was a bread room, and a companion is literally someone you share bread with!

Discuss these with your kids and tell us which one surprised you most?👇

Dinner-table physics with the kids👇

Ask them: “Would you weigh the same everywhere in the universe?”

The answer might surprise them. Here’s the trick: mass ≠ weight.

Your mass is the amount of matter in your body — and it stays the same wherever you go.

Your weight is the force of gravity acting on you. So on the Moon, where gravity is weaker, you’d weigh much less.

Now for the fun part: What about Jupiter? 🪐

Your teen can explore it all in our September issue. PLUS: download the FREE printable workbook.

Tasks require real-world data your teen collects themselves:

✅ observations with a date and location

🔴 RED CABBAGE PH INDICATOR
Your cabbage isn’t just dinner. It’s a science kit👇

Need: ¼ red cabbage, water, 2 pots, white paper, coffee filter/colander, scissors.

How:
1️⃣ Simmer chopped cabbage in water till deep purple
2️⃣ Strain, cool, cut paper into strips
3️⃣ Soak strips 15-20 min, dry in the dark
4️⃣ Test on lemon juice, vinegar, baking soda — watch it change!

Why: Anthocyanins in cabbage shift color with pH 👉 pink/red = acidic, blue/green = basic!
..and while you’re at it, grab that vinegar, add baking soda, and get the kids’ beloved VOLCANO 🌋

Science you can literally cook 👉 That’s OYLA

Meet the anechoic chamber, featured in OYLA September👇

🔊 Sound waves hit the wedges and reflect again and again between the angles — losing energy each time until it just... dies out.

✈️ That’s why fighter jets and aircraft parts get tested inside them — total silence means zero interference.

📡 Bonus: some chambers absorb electromagnetic waves too, not just sound.

🏠 Everyday version: your carpets and curtains do the same job — just way less effectively.

Would you last 30 seconds in total silence?

Forget red 👉 meet the creature with blue blood

The horseshoe crab isn’t really a crab at all. It’s an ancient sea-dweller more closely related to spiders and scorpions, and it’s been roaming our oceans for over 445 million years.

Why the 💙 blood? Instead of iron-based haemoglobin like humans, its blood relies on a copper-based protein called hemocyanin to transport oxygen, and copper turns blood blue instead of red!

Here’s the really remarkable bit: when horseshoe crab blood cells detect bacterial toxins, they clot almost instantly. Researchers uncovered this in the 1960s and turned it into the LAL test, a tool still used today to screen medicines and medical equipment for dangerous contamination.

Blue blood isn’t unique to them, either — octopuses, squid, and cuttlefish share the same copper-based trick for carrying oxygen!

A fun fact to share with your kids — or any curious grown-up! 👉 SUBSCRIBE
