ASL Who Was Rosie the Riveter? for Kids

ASL Who Was Rosie the Riveter? for Kids Teacherflix 2 Views • 1 year ago

Do you know where the "We Can Do It!" poster came from? In Who Was Rosie the Riveter? for Kids, you'll learn about the history of the poster and its significance during World War II. You may be wondering what exactly a riveter is. Well, it's someone who job is to fasten or secure things using rivets. You can find rivets on the hulls of ships or on airplanes where the metal skin attaches to the wings.

Before the war, mostly men worked factory jobs doing mechanical work, including the job of riveting. Once the US joined the war, most of the factory workers went to fight in the war. That meant there were lots of jobs that needed to be filled, especially since many of the things the military needed were the things factories produced. So who was left to fill those rolls? Women!

A campaign to recruit female workers began, and Rosie the Riveter was born! Redd Evans and John Jacob Loeb wrote the song entitled "Rosie the Riveter" in 1942, basing it off of a woman named Rosalind P. Walker. Rosalind was working at a factory that made fighter airplanes for the military. The famous poster was created in 1942 by J. Howard Miller to encourage people to work together to help the US win the war. It later became associated with the Rosie the Riveter campaign, which is why most people now associate the poster with Rosie the Riveter!

ASL How Plants Grow for Kids

ASL How Plants Grow for Kids Teacherflix 5 Views • 1 year ago

Did you know that plants require a lot of the same things you do to grow and survive? In How Plants Grow for Kids, you will learn about four of the main things plants need to grow. These "core four" elements are soil, sunlight, air, and water. What do each of these things do for plants? Let's find out!

Plants will find most of the nutrients they need in the soil. These nutrients include nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium. Nitrogen is what causes the leaves of plants to be green. Phosphorous contributes to the overall health and strength of the plant and its root system. Potassium helps the plant fight off diseases. Soil also supports the plant and helps prevent it from falling over.

The next element is sunlight. The sun produces energy through the light that plants can use to make food. The leaves are the part of the plant that makes this process, photosynthesis, happen. Without this process, plants would not be able to survive. However, too much or too little sunlight can be harmful. Another important element is air. From the air, plants receive carbon dioxide, a component that, like sunlight, contributes to the process of photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide also allows plants to use the sun's energy to make its food and grow.

Finally, plants need water. Water is necessary for the plant to grow healthy and strong. The water a plant receives helps guide nutrients to the plant through its roots, stem, and leaves. It is possible for plants to receive too much water. Too much sunlight harms plants, and overwatering them can yield the same results. A couple other things plants need are temperature and space. Adequate temperatures ensure plants don't die out because of extreme hot or cold. And plants need enough room to grow into their full size. Overcrowding can cause disease or restrict plants from receiving enough air.

We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about the factors that affect plants and their growth! If you want to learn even more, head over to our website and download one of our many free lesson plans about plants, full of activities, worksheets, and more!

ASL Extinct and Endangered Animals for Kids

ASL Extinct and Endangered Animals for Kids Teacherflix 3 Views • 1 year ago

What is the difference between "extinct" and "endangered"? Animals and other living things that no longer exist are extinct, and those that are in danger of becoming extinct are endangered. In this video, you and your kids will learn about some of the things that cause living organisms to die out. You will also learn how to help protect endangered species!

You probably already know about dinosaurs and that there are no more on the earth today. That is because they are extinct. They're not the only ones, though. Animals like woolly mammoths and dodo birds used to exist. However, due to certain natural causes and to human interaction, they no longer do. There are several reasons a species might die out. For the dinosaurs, scientists believe an asteroid collided with earth and caused a mass extinction.

On the other hand, woolly mammoths lost their habitats, and the climate changed drastically enough that they couldn't adapt to their new surroundings. Similarly, the dodo bird became extinct because of overhunting and the destruction of its habitat. Not all animals that go extinct existed thousands or millions of years ago. The passenger pigeon died out much more recently, and for the same reasons as the dodo.

What about endangered animals? For the most part, human causes are the reason most animals and other species are in danger of dying out. Animals you may be familiar with that are on the endangered species list include black rhinos, orangutans, Bengal tigers, blue whales, and sea lions. The video explains several causes, many of which are the same as those you already learned about.

While you can't do anything about extinct species, there are a few ways to help protect endangered animals and plants. You can recycle, save energy, and plant a garden. These will all help improve the environment. In addition, you can even sponsor an endangered animal!

We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about animals that are extinct or endangered! 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!

ASL Life Cycle of a Butterfly

ASL Life Cycle of a Butterfly Teacherflix 0 Views • 1 year ago

The life cycle of a butterfly is one of the most amazing things in all of the natural world. In this video we help kids and students learn about butterflies and the 4 main stages of their life cycles, which are:
Stage 1 - All butterflies are born from eggs, which are attached to leaves. They only last for up to couple of weeks, or less, depending on the butterfly species. When hatched the first phase of a butterfly is being a caterpillar.
Stage 2 - Once the caterpillar is fully developed, it hatches from the egg. This is also called a larva. The stage lasts about 5 to 10 days. The caterpillar has strong jaws and eats leaves.
Stage 3 - In this Pupa stage, the caterpillar or larva attaches itself to a branch or the underside of a leaf. For a final time, the caterpillar sheds its skin and then begins metamorphosis, changing into a butterfly. It may take between 7 to 10 days for the butterfly to emerge from the pupa.
Stage 4 - When the full butterfly emerges it will live anywhere from just a week to nearly a year, depending on the species of butterfly. The butterfly’s goal is to reproduce and to lay eggs. The life cycle of the butterfly will begin again.

The life cycle of a butterfly truly is amazing! We hope you and your kids enjoyed the video. If you're looking for more resources about butterflies, download our free lesson plan, complete with more resources and activities. https://learnbright.org/lesson....s/science/butterflie

ASL Meteors for Kids

ASL Meteors for Kids Teacherflix 2 Views • 1 year ago

In this video, we will learn about the real name for shooting stars: meteors! Your student(s) will learn all about these fiery rocks. More specifically, they will learn that meteors have a few different names depending on where they are on their journey to the earth's surface. They start out as meteoroids. Meteoroids are pieces of metal or rock that break off comets or asteroids when they crash into each other in space. They are not actually called meteors until they begin to fall toward Earth's atmosphere! Then, if they make it through, they get a new name again once they've landed somewhere on the earth: meteorites.

Your student(s) will learn about the both the biggest and oldest meteorites that have been discovered. The largest meteorite is named Hoba, which means gift, located in Namibia, Africa. It weighs 60 tons, which is 120,000 pounds! And the oldest meteorite is named the Fukang Meteorite. It was discovered near Fukang, China, and is believed to be about 4.5 billion years old. That means that it is about the same age, or even older, than our planet!

Children will also love learning about meteor showers. Meteor showers can be predicted throughout the year. It looks like hundreds or even thousands of shooting stars falling from the sky.

Your student(s) will love showing off their new knowledge about meteors. Would you like even more fun learning opportunities about Meteors?

ASL Water Bodies for Kids

ASL Water Bodies for Kids Teacherflix 2 Views • 1 year ago

What is an ocean? What is a lake? What do you call water that flows down a mountain? In this video, you and your kid(s) will learn all about the many bodies of water that cover the earth. You will discover what to call both the largest and smallest water bodies. Over 70% of the earth's surface is made up of water. That means there is more than double the amount of water than there is land!

Some bodies of water are made up of salt water. Others, such as many lakes and streams, contain fresh water. There is a lot more salt water than fresh water, though. Over 95% of water sources are salt water. That's because most of the water on the planet comes from oceans, which are by far the biggest water bodies. Not to mention, the deepest part of the ocean is deeper than the height of Mt. Everest! Scientists believe there are around a million species living in the ocean! While trees convert carbon dioxide to oxygen, did you know about 70% of Earth's oxygen supply actually comes from phytoplankton in the oceans?

You will also learn about reservoirs and lakes. Reservoirs are essentially man-made lakes. People create man-made lakes or reservoirs by damming up a river, holding back a lot of water in one place. The largest freshwater lake in the world is Lake Superior, which is located between Canada and the United States.

Rivers are unique in their own way. Rivers can flow down mountain, through valleys, or across plains. They flow toward either an ocean, a sea, a lake, or another river. They are very useful because they provide food, transportation, power, and a place to bathe! The Amazon and Nile Rivers are the two longest rivers. You will also learn about streams, which are kind of like mini rivers. They also come with a lot of different names, such as bayou, creek, and wash.

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

ASL Living and Non-living Things for Kids

ASL Living and Non-living Things for Kids Teacherflix 1 Views • 1 year ago

What is the difference between something that is alive and something that is not? You and your kids will learn all about the characteristics of both living and non-living things. Both have special characteristics that differentiate the two groups. Living things grow, eat, and reproduce. They can also breathe, have senses, and move. However, some non-living things can move, too. Think about fire or water. They aren't alive, but they definitely move!

Things that are alive grow, such as chicks that become hens or sprouts that become plants. They also have to eat, or take in nutrients, to survive. Different species need different nutrients, but they all require nutrients to live and grow. And both plants and animals reproduce to create more of their own kind. Non-living things can't do any of these things.

In addition, things that are not alive also do not breathe or have senses. For instance, a teddy bear cannot feel you touch it. A waterfall cannot see anything. However, some of these objects do move. As mentioned, fire and water aren't alive, but they move all on their own. Other things, like cars, can move as well, but not on their own. These objects require people to make them move. In addition, non-living things can be solids, liquids, or gases.

We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about what determines if something is alive! 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!
