Did you know that several million earthquakes happen every year? Earthquakes for Kids STEM is a great video to learn a little more about earthquakes. Most earthquakes are so small in magnitude that we can't feel them. The United States Geological Survey only records about 20 each year in the US.

The reason earthquakes happen in the first place has to do with the tectonic plates below the surface of the earth. Tectonic plates move around constantly. Those movements cause tension, which in turn causes huge faults or cracks in the rocks. The faults sometimes get stuck, and when they get unstuck, they cause an earthquake! Tectonic plates move in three ways: subduction, lateral sliding, and spreading.

The closer you are to an earthquake's epicenter, the more strongly you will feel it. This is because an earthquake loses its intensity as it travels away from the epicenter. Scientists measure the intensity of an earthquake using a seismograph, which detects and measures the vibrations of the earthquake. The magnitude of the earthquake is the number we assign to record its size. A magnitude of 5.5 if considered moderate. Above 8.0 means it's a major earthquake. And earthquakes with a magnitude of 2.5 or lower are usually not felt at all.

We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about earthquakes! If you want to learn even more, head over to our website and download one of our many lesson plans on earthquakes and other natural disasters, full of activities, worksheets, and more!

When you hear the name Galileo, what do you think about? Galileo Galilei is often associated with telescopes, the universe, and being imprisoned for his discoveries. In Galileo Galilei for Kids, you will learn a lot more about this amazing scientist and mathematician and his inventions and scientific discoveries.

Galileo was the oldest of six kids. Galileo studied medicine in college and later switched to mathematics. However, he ran out of money and had to drop out. This setback didn't stop him from continuing to study on his own time. He supported himself by teaching math and art to others.

Around the year 1609, Galileo learned about the telescope. Some people think he invented the tool, but that is not true. He was simply the first to use it (or use the one he built and improved) to study the stars. He discovered that Venus had phases, and he discovered four moons that revolve around Jupiter. These moons are now known as the Galilean Satellites in his honor.

Galileo also studied Copernicus's theory that the sun was the center of the universe, and even had evidence to support his theory. This led to his arrest and imprisonment by the Roman Catholic church. The church still taught that Earth was the center of the universe, which Galileo discovered wasn't the case. Despite being told not to teach Copernicus's ideas or beliefs anymore, Galileo continued to do so and was branded a heretic. He was sentenced to life in prison. The church officially apologized for arresting Galileo in 1992, which is 392 years after Galileo's death!

We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about Galileo! 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 is the difference between a comet, a meteor, and an asteroid? In this video, you and your kids will learn specifically about asteroids. Sometimes when you look at the night sky, you will see lots of lights in the sky. But not all of those shiny spots are starts. A few of them are planets. And a couple of them are actually asteroids!

Asteroids can be as small as a speck of dust, and they can be hundreds of miles in diameter! They are made of mostly rock, but they might contain clay or silicon, or even metal. Those metals are usually nickel or iron, but some asteroids contain precious metals like gold and platinum.

The asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter contains most of the asteroids in our solar system. There are around a million asteroids that are over half a mile long! And there are millions more that are smaller. Ceres is the biggest asteroid in the belt, maybe even the solar system. It is so big that scientists consider it a dwarf planet! While most asteroids can't be seen from Earth, Vesta can be. Vesta is the second largest asteroid in the belt, but it is the brightest one in the sky. If it's in the right position, you can see it with the naked eye!

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

#WhatIsAnAsteroid
#AsteroidsForKids

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? Visit us at learnbright.org and download our free 10-page comprehensive meteor lesson plan. It's full of fun, hands-on activities that will get your student(s) excited about space.

Have you ever wondered why there are no dinosaurs anymore? In Extinction for Kids, you will learn why dinosaurs no longer roam the planet. You will also learn about some other species that likewise died off. Believe it or not, plants can become extinct too, and the process happens more quickly than it does for animals.

Most of the time, extinction happens over a long period of time. When certain animals can no longer reproduce, they begin to die off. Or when animals can't adapt to their changing environment, this can also lead them to extinction. In cases of mass extinction, many species of plants and animals die out very quickly. Many scientists believe that this is what happened to the dinosaurs and other plants and animals that were on the planet millions of years ago. An asteroid may have collided with the surface of the earth and caused these species to die.

Humans can also contribute to the possibility of extinction for various species through things like overhunting, destroying habitats, or introducing nonnative species to areas where they are not usually found. In fact, have you ever heard of the dodo bird? When animals like pigs and cats were introduced to the dodo bird's environment, the bird became prey to the pigs and cats. As a result, they eventually became extinct because they could not adapt quickly enough to survive.

We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about how animals and plants become extinct! If you want to learn even more, head over to our website and download one of our many free lesson plans about extinction, full of activities, worksheets, and more!

How many active volcanoes do you think there are in the world? What makes a volcano active versus dormant or extinct? In What Is a Volcano? for Kids, you and your students will learn the answers to the questions and more. Plus, you can conduct an experiment where you make your own model volcano!

A volcano is a mountain made from cooled lava, ash, or other material from previous eruptions. Some even exist on the ocean floor. There are over 1500 active volcanoes in the world today. Every day, 15 to 20 volcanoes erupt somewhere. In the United States, there are active volcanoes in Hawaii, Alaska, California, Oregon, and Washington. Movements of the earth's crust cause volcanic eruptions.

What's the difference between magma and lava? Magma is located beneath the earth's surface. It is made of liquid or semi-liquid rock. After gas bubbles inside the magma expand and build up the pressure in the volcano, the volcano erupts. Once the magma escapes the volcano, we call it lava. The more often a volcano erupts, the larger it becomes as the lava cools and builds up the volcano.

Keep watching to follow along with a fun experiment to see how volcanoes work. You can pause the video when prompted to make sure you gather all the necessary supplies (and people). For more detailed instructions, check out the link below to our Earthquakes and Volcanoes STEM lesson plan. Hope you enjoy!

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!

What exactly are vitamins and minerals? Many people think these two substances are the same, but they are not. But they are both important to keep our bodies strong and healthy. Vitamins are organic substances, meaning that plants and animals produce them. Minerals are inorganic and come from the soil and water. Then they are absorbed by plants or eaten by animals.

Vitamins are divided into two categories—fat soluble or water soluble. Which category a vitamin falls into depends on whether it dissolves best in fats or in water. The fat-soluble vitamins can be stored in the body, but the water-soluble vitamins need to dissolve in water before the body can absorb them. In addition, the body can’t store water-soluble vitamins. For this reason, we need a fresh supply of water-soluble vitamins each day.

When it comes to minerals, our bodies cannot break down or change them. Minerals can, however, form part of the structure of bones, teeth, nails, muscles, and red blood cells. There are several minerals the body needs. Calcium is one of the most common minerals. Our bodies need calcium to build and protect bones and teeth, support our muscles, and help with blood clots and nerves.

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

When you think about the Statue of Liberty, what comes to mind? What do you know about it or its history? In this video for kids, you will learn lots of interesting facts about the history, construction, and significance of this beautiful monument. For instance, it's official name is Liberty Enlightening the World, not Statue of Liberty. It was designed to honor the end of enslavement in the United States.

This monument was a gift from France. The designer was a French sculptor, Frederic Bartholdi. He helped raise money for the statue's construction and picked the New York harbor for its display. It cost the equivalent of $14,000,000 in modern day! However, while Bartholdi was the designer, the original idea was from and anti-enslavement activist, Edouard de Laboulaye.

One fun fact is that the inside of the statue was built by none other than the engineer of the Eiffel Tower itself! Alexandre-Gustave Eiffel, builder of the Eiffel tower, was also responsible for constructing the interior of Lady Liberty (a nickname for the statue). The statue was built in pieces over a period of nine years. Then they had to take it apart, ship it to the United States, and reconstruct it, which took six months.

Here are some cool statistics. The statue weighs 225 tons and, with its pedestal, stands 305 feet tall! Lady Liberty's head is about 17 feet tall, and her nose alone is roughly 4.5 feet long. The right arm is 42 feet long, and the index finger is 8 feet long! Additionally, the outside layer is made of copper, so the statue was actually originally brown. But because the copper oxidized when exposed to water in the air, it turned green.

We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about this beautiful monument! 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!

What is water pollution? Did you know there are different kinds of pollution? In this video, you and your kids will learn all about the ways that water is harmed and contaminated. You will also learn how we can help make water cleaner and safer for the wildlife that live there. Even though we, ourselves, need clean water for drinking and other uses, aquatic animals that live in oceans and lakes need clean water as well to survive.

Would you rather swim in a lake that is clear and blue or one that is filled with plastic bottles and bags, waste, and chemicals? Naturally, you would want to swim in a clean lake. Well, so do fish and other animals in the sea. Water pollution is caused by many different factors, but the primary one is humans. For many, many years, we have been throwing our "trash" in the ocean. Sometimes our trash is made up of actual garbage, such as plastic water bottles and grocery bags, soda can holders, and straws. Other times, it's made up of sewage and waste, chemicals, and oils.

What can you do to help the water pollution problem? First of all, you can share some of the facts you learn in this video with your friends and family. For instance, did you know that over one billion people do not have access to clean water? That is 13% of the world's population! You can also follow the three R's: reduce, reuse, and recycle. Reduce your water usage, reuse items whenever possible, and recycle any items that you can.

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

Have you ever heard someone explain that force equals mass times acceleration? This equation (F = M x A) is Newton's second law of motion. In this Newton's Second Law of Motion video for kids, you and your students will learn about force, mass, and acceleration and how each of these work together.

The "f" in the equation stands for force. Force, as you will learn, can be balanced or unbalanced. If you are playing tug of war, for instance, who will win? The answer depends on the amount of force on each side of the rope. If your side has more mass, then the amount of force goes up, and you will win! However, if your side has less mass, you will lose because the other team will have more force.

Mass is what the "m" in the equation stands for. Mass is essentially the amount of matter something has, which is what everything is made up of. For example, an elephant has far more mass than an insect. But just because something is bigger, it doesn't mean it has more mass. Compare a basketball and a bowling ball. The basketball is bigger than a bowling ball, but the bowling ball has more mass than the basketball. After all, a basketball is filled with air, which definitely does not have a lot of mass!

The "a" stands for acceleration in the force equation. Think of when you press down a gas pedal or the pedal of your bicycle. When you do so, you increase your acceleration. Acceleration means the change in speed or direction. This also applies when you, say, ride a skateboard down a ramp. You accelerate as you roll down the ramp.

We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about Newton's second 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 laws of motion, full of activities, worksheets, and more!

What Lives in the Oceans: https://learnbright.org/lesson....s/science/what-lives

The Oceans of the earth are vast…they are humongous! Over 72% of the earth is covered with water called Oceans and Seas

There are five major Oceans of the world, and although these Oceans are all connected, they each have a different name. They are; The Pacific Ocean…the Atlantic Ocean…the Indian Ocean…The Southern Ocean (also called the Antarctic Ocean) …and the Arctic Ocean.

Here are some specific facts about each ocean.

Pacific Ocean: Located between the continents of Asia, N./S. America & Australia
~The largest of the 5 oceans, covers 30% of the Earth’s surface.
~ The word Pacific means peaceful, but the ocean is not calm or peaceful.
~ Many volcanoes are located in the ocean: The “Ring of Fire”.
~ The deepest part is nearly 7 miles below the surface.
~ The Great Barrier Reef is located off the Australian coast.

Atlantic Ocean: Located between the continents America, Europe, and Africa
~ About half the size of the Pacific Ocean
~ Many sharks are found in the waters of the ocean.
~ Islands located in the Atlantic include the Bahamas and Greenland, which is the largest island on Earth.
~ The word Atlantic means “Sea of Atlas”.
~ Cities on the Atlantic Ocean include Miami and London.

Indian Ocean: Located between Africa, Australia and parts of Asia
~ Largest breeding grounds of the world for humpback whales.
~ The Suez Canal in Egypt is a waterway in the ocean.
~ Cities along the ocean include Mumbai, India; Perth, Australia;
and Singapore.
~ Many endangered species live here such as turtles and seals.

Arctic Ocean: Located around the North Pole across the Arctic circle
~ Home to many of the Polar Bears of the world.
~ Smallest ocean and most shallow, but is the coldest.
~ Sometimes called the “frozen ocean”, almost completely covered in ice during the winter,
~ There are more fish species here than anywhere else in the world.

Southern Ocean: Located around the South Pole across the Antarctic circle
~ Home to the Emperor Penguins and Wandering Albatrosses
~ Sometimes it is also called the Antarctic Ocean
~ Icebergs are found throughout the Southern Ocean
~ No people live along the coast of the ocean

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!

Hawks are amazing birds with the best eyesight in the entire animal kingdom! They are the most common bird of prey, meaning they hunt animals for food. They build large nests in the tops of trees, on cliffs, and even in cactuses. At around 50 days, the young hawks leave the nest and fend for themselves. Hawks are also very intelligent and use tools like sticks and rocks to find food. Look out for the full video next week. And check out the high-interest reading lesson plan all about these beautiful birds.
