ASL The Respiratory System for Kids

ASL The Respiratory System for Kids Teacherflix 2 Views • 1 year ago

Have you ever wondered how your body breathes and converts carbon dioxide to oxygen? In The Respiratory System for Kids video, you will learn how exactly we do this. You will also learn about the other components and functions of this important body system. All living things need oxygen to survive. As humans, we use our lungs and other parts of the body to breathe properly and receive oxygen.

Our lungs take up most of the space in our chest, and our ribs are there to protect them and the heart. Speaking of the heart, the left lung is smaller than the right so that there's more room for the heart! On the outside, lungs are pink, spongelike, and kind of squishy. Another fun fact: Yawning is a sign that the body needs more oxygen. When we get sleepy, the brain sends a particular signal in tell our lungs to breathe in more air.

Have you ever noticed that you can breathe through both your mouth and your nose? If we breathe through the nose, the air gets filtered by tiny hairs called cilia. These hairs line the passageways of the nose to filter out dust and other substances. The air travels down the trachea, or windpipe, which is also lined with cilia.

The pharynx, which is actually part of both the respiratory and digestive systems, carries food and air divided into two pathways. The esophagus is for food and leads to the stomach. Air travels through the larynx (voice box) that leads to the trachea. At the back of the throat area is a flap of tissue called an epiglottis. The epiglottis covers the air-only passage when we swallow to keep food or drink out of the windpipe. Keep watching to learn more.

We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about this important body system! If you want to learn even more, head over to our website and download one of our many free lesson plans about the human body and how it works, full of activities, worksheets, and more!

ASL Animal Behavior for Kids

ASL Animal Behavior for Kids Teacherflix 3 Views • 1 year ago

In this video about animal behavior we will learn all about the different kinds of behavior including, innate behaviors, reflex behaviors, learned behaviors, imprinting and more! Birds build nests. Dogs sit roll over, chase sticks, and may do other tricks. Spiders build intricate webs. People blink, read books, talk to each other. Bees do special dances. What does each of the actions have in common? You are correct if you said they are behaviors.

A behavior is a way in which an animal or person acts in response to a situation or stimulus. Behaviors are the ways animals interact with other animals or with their environment. However, not all behaviors are attained in the same manner. For example, you had to learn how to read, but you did not learn how to blink. A dog was taught to sit up or roll over, but a dog did not learn how to dig a hole in the ground. Some behaviors animals may be learned, and other behaviors are a part of the animal at birth, and they do not need to learn them. They are born with already knowing how to
perform certain behaviors. You had to learn how to talk, read, and write. Your parents or teachers have taught you to do things, or you may have learned on your own, like playing a favorite game. Other behaviors, like blinking and grasping, are called reflexes; you were born with those behaviors.
The two types of behaviors are called innate behaviors and learned behaviors and in this video we will learn all about these different kinds of animal behaviors.

After finishing the video, we invite you to download our free 12 page lesson plan with more activities, worksheets and learning opportunities about animal behavior. It can be downloaded here: https://learnbright.org/lesson....s/science/animal-beh

ASL Cardinal Directions for Kids

ASL Cardinal Directions for Kids Teacherflix 2 Views • 1 year ago

What are Cardinal Directions? In this video built as an introduction to kids we will learn all about the 4 Cardinal Directions which are: North, South, East, West. Each time you go somewhere, you travel or move in a direction, which is the course or path you move in. You might walk down the street and then turn right or left, later turn around and return home. You are moving in different directions throughout the day. In the same way, cars, airplanes, buses, trains, and other vehicles move in different directions too. However, instead of turning to the right or left, or traveling up or down the
street, there are special words used to name the directions a vehicle or person can travel.

There are four main directions or points called cardinal directions (sometimes cardinal points). The four points include north (N), east (E), south (S), and west (W). The direction words are found on maps, compasses, street signs, and in many other places. The cardinal directions help people travel from place to place. In this video you'll learn it all and even have a chance to practice what you learn at the end.

To enhance your child's learning we invite you to visit us at https://learnbright.org/lesson....s/social-studies/car to download a free 10-page lesson plan with cardinal directions worksheets, activities, and even more fun content.

ASL George Washington Carver

ASL George Washington Carver Teacherflix 1 Views • 1 year ago

Who is George Washington Carver? He wasn't the first President of the United States, even though his name is very similar! In this video, you and your kids will learn about this incredible scientist. You will discover many interesting facts about the history and life of this special man. For instance, George Washington Carver's exact birth date remains a mystery! Because he was born into slavery, his birth records were not kept. And he, one of his sister's, and his mom were kidnapped by Confederate raiders when he was a baby! He was eventually found, however, and returned to the Carver farm where he was born.

Unlike other boys his age, George didn't work in the fields. He was taught how to tend to the kitchen garden. And what a stroke of luck for the world! George learned all about plants and how to improve their health. He was very intelligent and graduated high school at a young age. His passion for plants led him to study botany in college. After graduating, he was asked to teach agriculture at a Tuskegee College.

Throughout his life, he discovered many wonderful things about plants that would end up helping farmers grow larger and healthier crops. These discoveries spread throughout the world. One of the most famous is his realization that growing and harvesting peanuts every other year or so with cotton kept a specific pest away from the crops and yielded healthier soil. Even though many farmers resisted initially, George came up with several inventive uses for peanuts that would make growing peanut crops worthwhile.

George Washington Carver's life work earned him several special nicknames: The Plant Doctor, The Peanut Man, The Farmer's Friend. We celebrate him and his life on January 5, George Washington Carver Recognition Day.

ASL Fables for Kids

ASL Fables for Kids Teacherflix 6 Views • 1 year ago

Do you recognize the story, The Tortoise and the Hare? This story is called a fable. In Fables for Kids, you will learn about this unique type of story and the elements that must be included. Can you think of any of those elements off the top of your head?

All fables have five specific characteristics. They must be fictional, meaning that it is an imaginary story. Generally, these stories are fairly short. The element you probably knew already is that fables teach a moral lesson. "Slow and steady wins the race," for example, is the lesson we learn from The Tortoise and the Hare. In all fables, the main characters are always animals that act like humans. Finally, the setting of a fable is always outside.

Where did fables come from? Aesop, a slave of African decent who lived in ancient Greece, had a collection of fables that we now call Aesop's fables. Historians are still unsure whether he wrote all the stories himself or simply gathered them from other sources. Even though he lived a long time ago, his stories were passed down to the present day!

We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about this special genre of stories! If you want even more practice, head over to our website and download one of our many free lesson plans about reading, full of activities, worksheets, and more!

In All about North America for Kids, you and your students will learn that this continent actually includes 23 countries! These include Costa Rica, Honduras, Panama, Grenada, Saint Vincent, Cuba, and Haiti.

North America is the third largest continent in the world, behind Asia and Africa, and covers 16.5% of the earth's land area. It was named after the Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci. The continent borders the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, the Caribbean Sea, and South America. It also includes all the major biomes or habitats, such as tundra, coral reef, and desert. The geography of the countries of North American vary as much as its wildlife. There are around 965 different mammal species that call different parts of the continent home.

You will also learn a lot about the history of the continent. Scientists believe the Paleo-Indians from Eurasia used a land bridge between modern-day Siberia and Alaska to travel to North America to settle. They developed organized societies, and some ancient civilizations even built temples and created writing systems and calendars. Eventually colonizers from Europe traveled to the continent, which often displaced the native peoples of North America and settling on their lands.

There is so much more to learn about this continent. The video includes information on famous landmarks, such as Niagara Falls and the Great Pyramid of Tenochtitlan. These are only a few of the many attractions that millions of people visit every year.
