February's Current Health 1 cover story looks at our amazing minds, from optical illusions to tricks the brain plays on us. Other articles in the issue include a look at the healthy benefits of dance, ways to say no to alcohol, tooth-care tips, the challenges for military kids and their families, and how to deal with jealous feelings.

As always, check out the Pulse section for a dose of health news your students can use, as well as our other monthly departments Safety Zone, Give Me Five, You Asked, and Get Up and Go. (Don’t forget that you can download additional online-only Get Up and Go materials to use with your students here!) And we hope you are finding our new Teacher’s Guide, with more critical thinking questions, extension activities, and resources, to be useful.
