So what's with those small, plastic cards that adults use to buy stuff? In Financial Literacy—Debit and Credit, your students will discover the answer to that question. They will also realize that credit cards and debit cards are different, and each one can be helpful in different ways.

Credit cards and debit cards are both small, hard, plastic cards. But apart from that, they are quite difference. Credit cards, for instance, are not linked to a bank account, but debit cards are. That means you can use debit cards to pay for things with money you already have. Generally speaking, a debit card is directly linked to a checking account. Credit cards use money that is loaned. You can use it to buy something and pay for it later.

Credit card companies issue credit cards, and it's like a type of loan. You can pay back the loan according to the credit company's schedule. You usually have to make a minimum payment each month to reduce your debt. They can also charge interest if it takes you longer to pay the money back or if you don't pay the full amount back every month. However, if you pay your credit card bills in full every month, you won't be charged any interest.

We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about these important skills! If you want even more information, head over to our website and download one of our many free lesson plans, full of activities, worksheets, and more!

What would it be like to work for 16 hours a day, days a week? Nowadays, that is very uncommon in the United States. But during colonial times, that was the way life was for most people. In Colonial Times for Kids, you will learn about the daily life and habits of people who lived during this period of American history.

Let's start by talking about the children and what typical life was like for them. They had the chance to go to school, but they had better access to education if they lived in the city rather than on a farm. Many farm children learned to read and write from their father or church minister. Wealthier families might hire special tutors to teach their kids or send them to schools in England. Boys and girls did not have the same educational opportunities, though. In fact, many girls never learned to read or write.

Unfortunately, this was also a time during which people employed indentured servants, laborers brought over from Britain, or owned slaves. Indentured servants agreed to work for about seven years in return for their passage to America. But slavery grew in the colonies because the indentured servants were not easy to control and more difficult and costly to obtain. Some of the first African American indentured servants were forced into slavery rather than gaining their freedom after the seven-year work period.

Houses of this era were generally small, sometimes containing just a single room. The frames were made of wood, roofs of dried grasses, and floors of dirt. A fireplace inside was used for cooking and producing heat during the winter. Eventually homes on plantations grew larger, adorned with glass windows, wooden or carpeted floors, and quality furniture.

We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about this period in American history! If you want even more information, head over to our website and download one of our many lesson plans, full of activities, worksheets, and more!

Niagara Falls is one of the most famous waterfalls in the world. There are some pretty good reasons that it is such a popular natural landform. Located on the Niagara River, which creates a natural border between the U.S. and Canada, Niagara Falls is actually made of three separate waterfalls. Two are on the U.S. side—Victoria Falls and Bridal Veil Falls. The third and largest one is Horseshoe Falls, which is on the Canadian side.

Niagara Falls is a cataract waterfall, meaning that it is incredibly large and powerful. In fact, a total of 80,000 cubic feet of water flows over the edge every second. That equates to just over 598 thousand gallons of water every single second! This also means that Niagara Falls is an excellent source of hydroelectric power.

Scientists believe the falls started forming around 10 to 12 thousand ago because of melting glaciers. They have changed shape over time due to erosion. The unique green color of Niagara Falls comes from the dissolved salts and rocks in the water that have eroded. Scientists also estimate that over 60 tons of minerals sweep over the falls every minute.

Niagara Falls has attracted many tourists, including dare devils who either went over the edge in a barrel or walked across on a tight rope. The first person to challenge the falls was a 63-year-old teacher named Annie Taylor. She and her cat both got in a barrel and fell over the edge. While they were okay, many others who tried were not so lucky. Jean François Gravelet was the first to walk across on a tight rope, and he did it nine times in one year!

Pilgrims for Kids will give you a brief history of the Pilgrims and the first Thanksgiving.

It all happened about 400 years ago. There was a group of travelers who came to America in search of religious freedom. They wanted to worship God in their own way in England, but they were not permitted. Instead, they boarded ships and went on a journey. These people are referred to as the Pilgrims.

The Pilgrims left Europe for America on September 20, 1620, and
established a colony called Plymouth. A colony is an area set up by a group of people who have usually traveled from the same country. It is a place where they settle to live, work, and raise their families.

Although the Pilgrims were happy to have settled in America, they faced a difficult and cold winter. They were not prepared. They built a large house and some smaller homes, but for a period of time people still slept on the Mayflower. Many of the Pilgrims died during the winter and of the 102 people who came across the Atlantic Ocean only 47 were still alive.

There were Native Americans living in the same area as the Pilgrims. Native Americans are the people who were already living on the land before the Pilgrims arrived in what is now known as America. They established a peace treaty with the Pilgrims. The Native Americans also agreed to trade for animal furs.

Some of the Native Americans also chose to stay with the Pilgrims and taught them how to plant corn, hunt, fish, and how to survive the cold winter.

After the first harvest in 1621, the Pilgrims invited some of the Native Americans to join them for a feast. Sometimes this is referred to as the first Thanksgiving as the tradition continued after every harvest in the years that followed.

Have you ever seen, in person or in photographs, the giant obelisk in Washington, DC? This tall building at the opposite end of the reflection pool in front of the Lincoln Memorial has quite a bit of history behind it. Named after George Washington, the monument was designed by Robert Mills following a competition for designs held in 1836 by the Washington Monument Society.

The construction of the monument took place in two phases due to lack of funds, political turmoil, and uncertainty about the survival of the country. No construction took place between 1856 and 1876. During the first phase between 1848 and 1856, they constructed the first 150 feet of the monument, composed of a pile of bluestone gneiss unfinished rubble stones held together by mortar.

The remainder of the monument was constructed between 1876 and 1884. It was composed of finished marble surface stones and partially backed by finished granite stones. The difference in the shading of the monument can be seen where the construction was halted and later resumed with the marble from a different source.

Surrounding the monument on the outside perimeter are fifty American flags flying 24 hours a day on a large circle of flagpoles centered on the monument. In 2011, an earthquake in the area slightly damaged the monument with over 150 cracks. Most of the damage occurred in the pyramid section at the top. Speaking of the pyramid top, the monument was originally going to have a flat top instead.

What does Newton's last law of motion state? In this Newton's Third Law of Motion video for kids, you will learn the answer to that question and much more. The third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. What does this actually mean?

Think of a rocket. The exhaust from an erupting rocket moves downward while the actual rocket moves upward. Another example is found when a cannonball shoots out of a cannon. The cannonball shoots forward as the cannon moves backward. Because the cannon is so much heavier than the cannonball, it doesn't look like it moves very far, but the reaction is still equal in the amount of force.

One last thing. Have you ever tried to move heavy furniture? You may have noticed that it starts out kind of hard to move. However, as you start to move the heavy object, it gets a little easier. The friction that happens is sliding friction, which is the same sensation you get when you rub your hands together really quickly! Notice how your hands get warm? That's why!

We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about Newton's final law of motion! If you want to learn even more, head over to our website and download one of our many free lesson plans, full of activities, worksheets, and more!

In this fun educational video we learn about Abraham Lincoln for Kids. This is an engaging introduction to the life of Abraham Lincoln and answers many questions including: "What is the Emancipation Proclamation?", "Who is Abraham Lincoln?", "What did Abraham Lincoln do?" and many others! He is one of the most important presidents of the United States that we have ever had and played a vitally important role in the abolition of slavery in the United States. Let's learn about "The Great Emancipator" Abraham Lincoln together.

Abraham Lincoln was the 16th President of the United States. He was born on February 12, 1809 in Kentucky. Lincoln educated himself using borrowed books. He never went to a formal school and at age 25 he got into politics and became an Illinois legislator. He began studying the law and worked as a lawyer, and later became a U.S. Congressman, but then lost trying to become a Senator. He argued against slavery, and fought hard his whole life to end that practice. In 1860 he became the President of the United States and during his term the United States broke out into a Civil War largely because of differing views about Slavery.

During the war Lincoln singed the Emancipation Proclamation that eventually lead to the 13th Amendment which ultimately helped abolish Slavery and freed millions of slaves. At the height of the Civil War he gave one of the most famous speeches in History...The Gettysburg Address. He was instrumental in the Civil War Victory and changed the path of history forever. We hope you and your kids enjoy learning about Abraham Lincoln.
