Is Earth the only living needle in this haystack of planets?

Don’t miss our next video! SUBSCRIBE! ►► http://bit.ly/iotbs_sub

Are there exoplanets like Earth? We live in one of a hundred billion of galaxies, each with hundreds of billions of stars. And now, thanks to modern astronomy, we know that the Milky Way is home to perhaps a hundred billion planets! In the past two decades, these exoplanet discoveries have spawned new questions about our universe, and if there might be another Earth, or other life, somewhere out there.

In part 1 of our two-part series on exoplanets, we'll look at how astronomers find exoplanets, and what it means to call them Earth-like. We'll trace the history of planetary science back three thousand years and examine Earth's changing status in the cosmos. We were once the center of the universe, and now Earth is just another rock in the sky. What does that mean for us?

The Clinton Years, or the 1990s: Crash Course US History #45 Teacherflix 39 Views • 5 months ago

In which John Green teaches you about the United States as it was in the 1990s. You'll remember from last week that the old-school Republican George H.W. Bush had lost the 1992 presidential election to a young upstart Democrat from Arkansas named Bill Clinton. Clinton was a bit of a dark horse candidate, having survived a sex scandal during the election, but a third-party run by Ross Perot split the vote, and Clinton was inaugurated in 1993. John will teach you about Clinton's foreign policy agenda, which included NATO action in the Balkans and the Oslo Accords between Israel and the PLO. He'll also cover some of the domestic successes and failures of the Clinton years, including the failed attempt at healthcare reform, the pretty terrible record on GLBTQ issues, Welfare reform, which got mixed reviews, and the happier issues like the huge improvements in the economy. Also computers. Cheap, effective, readily available computers came along in the 1990s, and they kind of changed the world, culminating in this video, which is the end of the internet. Until next week.

Hey teachers and students - Check out CommonLit's free collection of reading passages and curriculum resources to learn more about the events of this episode. One of the largest criticisms against President Clinton's presidency was his inaction during the genocide in Rwanda which he comments on in his Remarks on the Rwandan Genocide: https://www.commonlit.org/text....s/president-clinton-
First Lady Hillary Clinton had some foreign affairs success of her own when she delivered her 1995 speech to the United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women stating that women's rights are human rights: https://www.commonlit.org/text....s/first-lady-hillary

🔷 Learn About POLYHEDRA | Educational Videos for Children | @HappyLearningENG Teacherflix 5 Views • 6 months ago

0:00 - Introduction
0:11 - Polyhedrons
3:27 - Length and the Meter
6:56 - The Circle and the Circumference

🔺🔶 What are polyhedra and how are they classified? In this educational video for kids, you’ll learn to identify 3D geometric shapes with flat faces, like cubes, pyramids, and prisms. You’ll also discover their parts: faces, edges, and vertices, as well as the difference between regular and irregular polyhedra. 📐📦

In Primary School, the subject of Mathematics focuses on developing five key senses: the numerical sense, to work with numbers and operations; the measurement sense, to measure and compare magnitudes; the spatial sense, to understand geometric figures and their properties; the algebraic sense, to identify patterns and use symbols; and the stochastic sense, to interpret data and probabilities. Additionally, the socio-affective sense encourages a positive attitude toward mathematics.
