Do you know what an abbreviation is or how to make one? An abbreviation is a shortened form of a word or phrase. You can make one by taking letters out and replacing them with other letters or symbols, such as a period. In this video, you and your kids will learn about some common abbreviations, many of which you probably use every day.

One of the most common abbreviations has to do with the time of day. We use a.m. in the morning hours and p.m. in the evening and night hours. What do those actually stand for? "Ante meridiem" is Latin for before noon, so we use a.m. for all the times before noon. "Post meridiem" is Latin for after noon, so we use p.m. for all the times after noon.

Other common abbreviations involve days of the week, months of the year, measurement, and time. For example, we can write Sat. for Saturday or Dec. for December rather than writing out the whole word. In recipe books, you will often find abbreviations for their measurements, like tsp for teaspoon or oz for ounce. And you've probably seen abbreviations like min for minutes or yr for year.

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

What is the difference between a geyser and a hot spring? In this video for kids, you'll learn the answer to that question. In fact, you will realize that all geysers are hot springs, but not all hot springs are geysers. Places where groundwater creates a pool of water are springs. And hot springs are pockets of water that are hotter than the surrounding ground and air temperatures.

The water in a hot spring is usually higher than 98°F when it comes out of the ground. Some hot springs, also called geothermal or thermal springs, turn into geysers. When a hot spring becomes pressurized and erupts, it becomes a geyser. Geysers specifically shoot water and steam high into the air, unlike normal hot springs. The word geyser comes from the Icelandic word that means to gush.

Keep watching to follow along with a fun experiment to see how geysers work. You can pause the video when prompted to make sure you gather all the necessary supplies (and people). Hope you enjoy!

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

NOTE: Around the 4:40 mark, we mention that President Ford expanded the celebration of Black history from one week to the full month 50 years after President Lincoln announced the Emancipation Proclamation. The correct number is 113 years later. We apologize for the error.

Every February, Americans use the month to reflect on and celebrate the achievements of African Americans in American history. That is what Black History Month is all about. In this video for kids, you will learn how this particular month-long celebration came to be. At one point, the country didn't even study any events related to African American history because it dealt with such a tragic period in our history. In 1915, an African American historian named Carter G. Woodson decided to change that. "You must give your own story to the world," he wrote.

Woodson recognized that the predominately white historical association from which he was banned had no interest in attributing advances in science, technology, and other fields to non-White people. And very few people studied Black history at this time. School textbooks didn't even contain information about it. To give proper recognition to the accomplishments of Black Americans, he started the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History and declared the second week in February as "Negro History Week."

Carter Woodson chose this week because it commemorated the birthdays of two significant historical figures related to the freedom and equality of African Americans: Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln. Frederick Douglass was an abolitionist who was born enslaved in the early 1800s. He was able to escape to the North and declared himself a free man, becoming an abolitionist and advocate for human rights. He met Abraham Lincoln on several occasions and may have influenced Lincoln's ideas on slavery.

It wasn't until Gerald Ford was president of the U.S. that the week-long celebration of Black history became a month-long period instead. Black History Month matters because it celebrates the sacrifices that so many Black Americans faced and endured to bring the country to where it is. As former President Obama stated, "We recommit to reaching for a day when no person is judged by anything but the content of their character."

We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about Black History Month! 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!

In this video we learn all about comets for kids. Students will learn where comets come from, how comets are formed, what comets are made of and many other fun and interesting facts about comets.

We learn that a comet in the outer parts of the Solar System is too small to be seen from Earth. You can think of a comet as a large snowball filled with or covered by dust, metal, and debris. They have an icy core, covered by a layer of black dust. The center is mainly composed of water and gases, frozen and mixed together with bits of rock and metal. The nickname for a comet can be a “dirty snowball”.

When a comet gets closer to the Sun, the ice melts and changes into a gas. Dust particles spread out around the nucleus in a cloud called a coma, and the Sun causes them to glow. The coma of an average comet is sixty thousand miles across, but it is also very thin. Radiation and the solar wind drive the gases of the coma away causing it to form a straight tail. The tail may grow to ninety-million miles in length.

In this installment of the Financial Literacy series, your kids and students will learn about the difference between borrowing money or saving money to buy something. Financial Literacy—Borrowing vs. Saving focuses on the pros and cons to each choice to help kids decide what they would do if they wanted to buy something.

Saving money is something we do so that we can eventually buy something we want, like a new bike. This can take time. If you want something more immediately, you can borrow money. Borrowing money, however, means that you have to pay back the money you borrowed over time. And sometimes you have to pay interest. You can get a loan from someone, like a parent, and pay it back over time.

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!

Have you ever wondered what life would be like if you could not see or hear anything? That was life for a woman named Helen Keller. In this video for kids, you will learn about the life and accomplishments of this incredible historical figure. Even today, her story and lasting impact are inspiring.

Helen Keller was born in Alabama on June 27, 1880. When she was a little under 2 years old, she fell ill to meningitis and lost both her sight and hearing. She hadn't yet learned how to speak. Her parents knew she would need special help and found that assistance through Anne Sullivan.

Anne Sullivan had been blind herself once but received it back after a surgery. She wanted Helen to live a normal life and began teaching and helping her at age 7. She would remain Helen's helper and companion for over 50 years! Anne first taught Helen words by placing an object in one of Helen's hands and using sign language to spell out the word in the other hand. In other words, she used Helen's sense of touch to teach her words.

Another teacher named Sarah Fuller helped Helen learn how to speak by using the vibrations of words on her own lips. Helen learned how to feel the vibrations and get a sense of how her own lips moved to make her own sounds. Eventually, she was able to speak as anyone else. She also learned how to read using Braille.

In a random number, can you figure out what the place value of any digit in that number is? In this video, you and your kids will learn about place value and how to determine the place value of any digit.

Naming place values is quite easy once you recognize the patterns. And this video will help you figure out what those patterns are! It describes using a place value chart to keep track of where numbers fall. A chart can have many place value columns. We will focus on the ones, tens, and hundreds in this video. You will learn that when it comes to whole numbers, you will always place the last digit in the ones column. That is the column furthest to the right.

The video goes through several examples of figuring out place value of the digits in numbers. For instance, in the number 786, you can use that rule of placing the final digit in the ones column to figure out the place value of the other numbers. If 6 is in the ones place, then 8 is in the tens place, and 7 is in the hundreds place. It really is that easy!

Have you ever wondered where the olympics began? In Ancient Greece, you and your kids will learn the answer to this question. In fact, you will learn a lot about this amazing ancient civilization and its lasting impact on the world today.

Even today, modern society continues to see influences of Ancient Greece. Most capitol buildings, as well as the U.S. capitol and the Supreme Court Building, are modeled after the architecture of Ancient Greece. The area was made up of independent city-states like Sparta, Athens, and Thebes; it was not one big country. And as far as the Olympics are concerned, which we still participate in today, they started in 776 B.C. in Ancient Greece!

Have you ever heard of or do you remember the Pythagorean theorem? This geometrical equation come from Pythagoras, who was an ancient Greek scientist. The famous philosophers Socrates and Aristotle lived during the Classical period of Ancient Greece. Alexander the Great was also born near the end of the Classical period. He died during the Hellenistic period, and his death marked the beginning of the end for the ancient civilization.

In Ancient Greece, boys received a formal education, but girls were taught homemaking skills like cooking and sewing. Most Greek men were farmers, but other occupations were soldiers, craftsmen, or government workers. As far as the diet goes, it is similar to what we call the Mediterranean diet. It consisted of olives, cheeses, fruits and vegetables, and fish.

We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about Ancient Greece! 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!

In our video "Food Chain for Kids" we learn all about the different food chains and food webs. All of us eat. You may eat meat or only eat vegetables but one way or another every living thing eats. When you eat something it gives you energy. In a way, the energy comes from the food you eat, but the energy actually came from the Sun first. You are simply the last organism in the food chain to eat the food. A food chain is a path that energy takes from producers to consumers all the way down to decomposers.

Throughout this fun scientific video we will will walk with you through the energy cycle... from the sun to plants, plants to animals and humans, and much more! We will learn about producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, and decomposers and how each of these living things play an important role in the food chain.

If you're looking for even more food chain resources we invite you to download our comprehensive 9 page food chain lesson plan that comes with more content pages, worksheets, food chain activities and more! Available for free download here: https://learnbright.org/lesson....s/science/food-chain

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.

Have you ever heard of the law of inertia? In this Newton's First Law of Motion video for kids, you will learn about why objects either move or don't move. The first law of motion, or the law of inertia, states that objects at rest will remain at rest unless something else moves that object. It also states that an object that is moving will keep moving until something stops it.

When it comes to an object at rest, think of anything around you that isn't moving. A pillow, a book on the desk, or the desk itself. They will stay unmoved unless you, or something else, moves it. As far as objects that are moving, think of a ball in the air. Eventually the ball will fall because of gravity and air resistance. However, if it were in space, it would keep moving forever at the same speed unless it hits something or something hits it.

Speaking of gravity and air resistance, these are two natural forces that affect an object's motion. Another is friction. If you roll something across a flat but uneven surface, that object will eventually stop because of friction. Say, however, you roll something along a flat and even surface, such as perfectly smooth ice. In this case, the object you roll may not stop for a much longer amount of time because there is much less friction to stop its motion.

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

Did you know that carbon is the fourth-most abundant element in the universe? Did you know it also is essential to life on Earth? Every living thing on the earth needs energy to survive. The main source of energy comes from the sun, but only a few living things can use sunlight directly as a source of energy. Animals like us need help. That's where carbon comes in!

Carbon comes in two forms: diamond and graphite. Carbon contributes to the process of photosynthesis to help plants create food and give off oxygen. That oxygen let's us breathe and live. Not to mention, eating those plants provide food to keep us alive as well. Without carbon, there is no photosynthesis. Without photosynthesis there's no food!

The carbon cycle involves the exchange of carbon between organic and inorganic elements. Just like all the earth's cycles, there isn't a starting or ending point. It's a continuous process with several steps. Carbon moves from the atmosphere to plants, from plants to animals, plants and animals to the ground, living things to the atmosphere, fossil fuels to the atmosphere, and the atmosphere to the oceans. That's a lot of steps!

When carbon dioxide releases into the atmosphere, it acts as a greenhouse gas that helps keep the earth warm. However, there's an imbalance to this system, and too much carbon is being released into the atmosphere. Not enough is being absorbed, so Earth is warmer than it should be. There are ways to help slow the effects of climate change though, such as planting more trees and cutting fewer trees down.

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

In this video we will learn all about the States of Matter for Kids. The 3 states of matter are solids, Liquids and Gases. Have you ever asked yourself "What is a solid?", "What is a liquid?", or "What is a Gas?" Well, if you have, we've got you covered. From what they look like, feel like, smell like we will cover it all. We know that solids and liquids can be felt but often times gasses cannot. We learn about how water can be in any of the 3 states. As an Ice cube it is a solid. When the ice cube melts or when you turn on your kitchen faucet water is a liquid. When it gets very hot and it starts to evaporate water becomes a gas. Learn this and more in a fun introduction to the states of matter.

Don't just stop with the video. Download your free 8 page lesson plan complete with states of matter activities, worksheets and more! https://learnbright.org/lesson....s/science/states-of-

What do you know about dinosaurs? In Dinosaur Facts for Kids, you will learn cool facts about many of these ancient animals. They lived during the Mesozoic era millions of years ago, which is divided into three smaller periods: Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous. To this day, scientists still debate about the cause of their extinction. Was it because lots of volcanoes erupted at the same time? Or was it because a meteor crashed into Earth and caused a ton of damage?

Regardless, we can learn a lot about dinosaurs by studying their fossils. The first dinosaur bones ever found were found in China. The people originally thought they were the bones of giant dragons! The word dinosaur means “terrible lizard,” which works because most dinosaurs are classified as reptiles. Because of the work of paleontologists, we know that some dinosaurs walked on two legs while other walked on four. We also know that these terrible lizards varied greatly in size. Some were as small as chickens while others were bigger than a school bus!

The types of food that dinosaurs ate varied as well. Dinosaurs were either herbivores, carnivores, or omnivores, just like the animals of today. There are also some dinosaurs that are considered the ancient ancestors of birds!

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