Comets Asteroids and Meteors are all over the solar system. But did you know that each are quite different? You may be wondering "What is a comet?", "What is an asteroid made of?", or "Where does a meteor come from?" Well, sit tight because in this video we will answer all of your questions!
We first take a closer look at asteroids for kids. Asteroids are the largest of the space rocks, but may also
include metal substances. Most of them go around the Sun
between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. The area of orbit is
called the Asteroid Belt, which includes an inner and an outer
region. The inner region is made up of asteroids that mostly
contain metal (Gold, Iron, Platinum, and Nickel). The outer region contains asteroids mostly made
up of rocks.
We then explain what a comet is. 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. A comet in the outer parts of the Solar System is too small to be seen from Earth. We then talk about the difference between short and long period comets.
Lastly, we explore Meteors, meteoroids, and meteorites. Meteors are sometimes called falling or shooting stars, and they begin
as meteoroids traveling through the Earth’s atmosphere. They are not
stars. They are small pieces of rock or metal originating from a comet or
asteroid. They form from colliding asteroids of debris from comets. A meteorite is a meteoroid that does not burn
up in the Earth’s atmosphere, but instead, falls to
the Earth’s surface.

Have you ever heard of the Lewis and Clark Expedition? What about Sacagawea? In this video, you and your kids will learn all about this incredible journey. Before we talk about the expedition, it's important to understand why it happened in the first place. And that reason all lies in the Louisiana Purchase.
President Thomas Jefferson bought about 828,000 square miles of land from the French, which included six states and parts of nine others. This purchase nearly doubled the size of the United States! The colonists had never explored these areas before, and President Jefferson also wanted to know information about natural resources, plants, animals, geology, weather, and climate in the area. In addition, he wanted to establish trade and sovereignty over the Native American tribes along the Missouri River.
Once he got approval, Jefferson chose Meriwether Lewis and William Clark to head the journey, since both were seasoned frontiersmen. He called the group the Corps of Discovery, and about 40 other men joined the group as well, offering various skills that would be necessary to accomplish their goals. The journey started on May 21, 1804, along the Missouri River. They started off traveling by boat and eventually made it to the edge of the Great Plains.
Initially, there was a little tension when the Corps met the Lakota tribe, but the two groups remained peaceful due largely to the tribe's chief, Chief Black Buffalo. In April of 1805, Sacagawea and her husband joined the group. Sacagawea became a vital part of the group because of her interpretation and diplomacy skills, as well as her mere presence, which was a sign the Corps came in peace.
What happened when everyone finally returned to St. Louis? The journey yielded a lot of new information that was very useful, including facts about natural resources, plant and animal species, and land size. Lewis became governor of the Louisiana Territory, and Clark became governor of the Missouri Territory. Sadly, Sacagawea passed away of illness in 1812, not long after the end of the expedition.
We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about these two famous explorers! 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 do you know about Zeus? Have you ever heard of satyr or centaur? In Greek Mythology for Kids, you will learn about many creatures and important gods and goddesses that the ancient Greeks created. Mythology is basically a way of telling stories. Native Americans, Egyptians, Romans, and many other cultures and religions have created myths. However, Ancient Greek mythology includes some of the most well-known stories.
Ancient Greece is the foundation for most western culture today. It lasted from 800 BC to 146 BC, which is when the Roman conquered Greece. The stories the Greeks developed are very popular, and they helped them explain the world around them. Because they didn't have access to the same level of science and technology that we do today, they couldn't explain natural phenomena like the sun rising and falling every day or the occasional thunderstorm.
To explain thunderstorms, for instance, the Greeks believed there was a god called Zeus that could control thunder and throw lightning bolts down from the sky. All the gods and goddesses had wildly exaggerated personalities and one or more magical powers. They were not considered good or bad. They used their powers for good, trickery, and adventure. Some gods were Titans, some were Olympians, and some were relatives of both.
Apart from the gods and goddesses, the ancient Greeks also came up with other interesting creatures and monsters. Cyclops, for example, was a monster with one eye. A centaur was a creature that was half horse and half man. Similarly, a satyr was half man and half goat. One of the most famous monsters was the gorgon called Medusa. Instead of hair on her head, she had snakes. The myth states that if someone looked directly into her eyes, they would immediately turn into stone.

The human eye is a fascinating organ in our bodies. Do you know how it works? In The Human Eye for Kids video, you will learn how exactly our eyes use light to create images. The muscles that make our eyes blink are the fastest-moving muscles we have! They are both voluntary and involuntary, so we can blink on purpose and blink as a reflex to bright light or dust in the air.
The reason we blink in the first place is that we need to keep our eyes clean. Blinking keeps dirt and other substances from getting in our eyes, and it helps keep them moist and not get too dry. Tears also help keep our eyes clean (and, of course, keep them from drying out). These important drops of water are made using the lacrimal glands.
The white part of your eye is the sclera, which is the outer covering of the eyeball that contains blood vessels that help blood flow to the eyeball. The cornea is a transparent dome in front of the colorful part of your eye. It helps your eye focus when exposed to light, kind of like a window. Something called the anterior chamber is the space between the cornea and iris that is filled with a transparent fluid that keeps the eye healthy.
Speaking of the colorful part of your eye, that is your iris. The iris works with the pupil, which is the black part of your eye, in an interesting way. Light travels through the iris before arriving at the pupil. Muscles attached to the iris change its shape to control the amount of light that gets through the pupil. The pupil is what lets light enter your eye. It gets bigger when we need more light and shrinks when there's plenty of light.
We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about your eyes! 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, full of activities, worksheets, and more!

Did you know that most of the food you eat started out at a farm? There is a whole system in place to get your food from its origin at a farm to your plate on the table. In Farms and Food for kids, you will learn all about this process and discover some fun facts about what your food goes through as it travels from farm to you.
A farm is usually a large area of land used to grow crops or raise animals for the production of food. Farms are the main source of food for people all over the world. Farmers are the people who work on or own and manage a farm. Most farms are specialized today, meaning that they focus on one or a few select crops or animals. Without farms, many people in the world would go hungry.
So how does food get from a farm to you? It goes through several steps, and this video talks about some of them specifically. First, farmers prepare the land by turning the soil with a plow. Then the seeds get planted by a seeder, and the crops get watered. Sometimes, farmers will also spray fertilizers to help the crops grow or pesticides to keep pests from ruining the crops.
Once the crops are ready, they are harvested and then stored. Farmers then transport the goods to wholesalers like restaurants and retailers. Finally, retailers place the food on the shelves for us to buy them. Sometimes, food goes through processing plants that help that food last longer. Other times, smaller farms can sell their food at farmers markets directly to consumers!
We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about the importance of farms! If you want to learn even more, head over to our website and download one of our many free lesson plans about farms and food, full of activities, worksheets, and more!

What would it be like to be a king or queen as a kid? That's what life was like for King Tutankhamun, or King Tut! He was a pharaoh of ancient Egypt in the 1300s BCE. Historians believe he became the pharaoh, or king, of Egypt around the age of nine. And his reign was pretty short, lasting only about 10 years.
The ancient Egyptians were very religious and believed their pharaohs were earthly gods who communicated with the other gods. Their beliefs focused a lot on the afterlife, and the people believed people passed through to the afterlife in the same form as when they were alive. They developed burial processes to preserve the body for its afterlife. This process is known as mummification.
King Tut was mummified and buried in a beautiful tomb like any other pharaoh. Tombs included other items the pharaoh might need in addition to just the body, such as food, jewelry, weapons, art, and even pets. The reason we know so much about King Tut specifically is that archaeologists who discovered his tomb in 1922 found the tomb completely untouched. There were over 5,000 artifacts! Because the items included in a tomb were personal items, the archaeologists studied the artifacts to recreate King Tut's life!
The boy king died pretty young at about 18 or 19 years old. There are several theories. Some historians believe he was murdered by his advisors who wanted to seize his power. Others think his own family killed him. Thanks to modern DNA testing and physical evidence, however, most scientists believe that the young pharaoh died because of poor health.

What are Roman numerals? How do you read them? In this video, you and your kids will learn all about Roman numerals. We will talk about how the Romans developed this numbering system 3,000 years ago for addition and subtraction and for counting without using zeros.
Your students will learn which letters are part of the Roman numeral system—I, V, X, L, C, D, M—and what the value is for each letter. Then they will learn a few rules that will help them figure out how to represent numbers in Roman numerals. The video covers three rules. First, you will never use more than three of the same numeral in a row. Second, a smaller numeral before a larger numeral means you subtract its value from the larger numeral. Third, if you write a smaller numeral after a larger numeral, then you add its value to the larger numeral.
After a few examples for each of these rules, the video provides a short review of what you learned. If you can answer the questions correctly, then you have mastered using Roman numerals!
We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning how to count with Roman numerals! If you want even more practice, head over to our website and download our free lesson plan about Roman numerals, which is full of activities, worksheets, and more!

Do you know what mountains, hills, plateaus, and plains have in common? This video teaches kids all about landforms, particularly these four. Your kids will learn all about the different types and how they form. They will discover many interesting facts. For instance, they will learn about the Himalayas and how they make up the tallest mountain range in the world. Mount Everest is the tallest peak of the Himalayas. It's as tall as 48,000 people standing on each others' shoulders!
Hills are similar to mountains. They aren't as tall, but they form in similar ways. In fact, some mountains, including the Himalayas, started out as hills! Did you know there are two types of plateaus? All plateaus are flat and elevated, and they have steep hills and big cliffs. However, not all plateaus are the same. Dissected plateaus are created from tectonic shifts from the ground up. The Colorado Plateau is one of these. Volcanic plateaus, however, are formed from many small volcanic eruptions that build up over time. Most of the central part of the North Island of New Zealand. You will also learn about plains and how they are unique compared to the other three landforms.
We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about these four different landforms! 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!

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.

~ 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.

In this video we learn all about constellations for kids. At night we can see thousands of stars and scientists long ago figured out that the stars line up in recognizable patterns. The patterns form shapes of people, animals, and mythological beings. Early astronomers called these special patterns constellations. Each star in the pattern has a name and is connected to form a different constellation. It is almost like a “connect-the-dots” picture, but instead of using numbers and dots, the twinkling stars are connected to form the special patterns. You have have heard of the Big Dipper, Orions Belt, or Aries, but these are only a few of the constellations there are many more!
Many constellations have their roots in myths. A myth is an ancient story about many different things. Constellation myths are usually stories about gods, heroes and creatures such
as serpents, dragons, flying horses and more. The images related to these myths are formed using connected stars. The Greeks and Romans created the stories for constellations.
In addition to the constellation myths, there are ancient and modern uses of constellations:
1. They helped ancient farmers know when to plant and harvest crops. Constellations can be used as a calendar in the sky.
2. Travelers use them to navigate from one place to another, relying on different stars to guide them on journeys throughout the world.
3. Modern astronomers and star gazers use them to help keep track of specific stars in the sky.
4. Astronomers use them to locate other objects in the sky such as galaxies or nebulae, which are areas where gas and dust are cluttered
We hope you and your kids enjoyed our constellation video and are able to identify some of the major constellations when you look up at the stars at night.

Do you know what a bar graph is? Or have you ever heard a pie chart? In Graphs for Kids, you and your kids will learn all about four basic graphs that people use to share data. You can use many types of graphs to display the same information. Sometimes it just depends on what you like best.
Pictographs use pictures to display data. For instance, if you studied how many students liked a specific field trip, you could create a pictograph to show the numbers. A certain picture would represent each student or a specific number of students. You could use a bar graph to share the same information. Instead of pictures, you would use bars, usually of different colors.
Another type of graph is the line graph. Line graphs are helpful in showing information over a period of time. For example, if you want to measure how tall you are at different ages, you can use a line graph to show your steady increase in height. The final graph you will learn about is actually called a pie chart. This is because it looks like a pie! The sizes of each "slice" depend on your data. If you interview 100 students about their favorite pet, and 50 of them like dogs the most, then half of the pie would represent students who prefer dogs.
We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about these basic graphs! 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, your kids will learn all about nouns. So, what is a noun? A noun is a person, place, or thing. Throughout this video your student will be given lots of examples. They will be able to practice identifying nouns in a fun way.
The video describes each of the three groups of nouns one by one in detail. First, we will talk about nouns for people. Because people have titles, like doctor and baker, those are considered people nouns too! Then we discuss nouns for places. These can be cities like Atlanta or Paris, or they can be buildings like school or hospital. Last, we talk about nouns that describe things. Everything else that isn't a person or place falls into the things category. Things include dog, computer, water, window, and so many more. There are millions of nouns because there are millions of people, places, and things!
We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning how to identify nouns! If you want even more practice, head over to our website and download one of our many free lesson plans about nouns full of activities, worksheets, and more!

Comets, asteroids, and meteors are all over the solar system. But did you know that each are quite different? You may be wondering "What is a comet?", "What is an asteroid made of?", or "Where does a meteor come from?" Well, sit tight because in this video we will answer all of your questions!
We first take a closer look at asteroids for kids. Asteroids are the largest of the space rocks, but may also
include metal substances. Most of them go around the Sun
between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. The area of orbit is
called the Asteroid Belt, which includes an inner and an outer
region. The inner region is made up of asteroids that mostly
contain metal (Gold, Iron, Platinum, and Nickel). The outer region contains asteroids mostly made
up of rocks.
We then explain what a comet is. 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. A comet in the outer parts of the Solar System is too small to be seen from Earth. We then talk about the difference between short and long period comets.
Lastly, we explore Meteors, meteoroids, and meteorites. Meteors are sometimes called falling or shooting stars, and they begin
as meteoroids traveling through the Earth’s atmosphere. They are not
stars. They are small pieces of rock or metal originating from a comet or
asteroid. They form from colliding asteroids of debris from comets. A meteorite is a meteoroid that does not burn
up in the Earth’s atmosphere, but instead, falls to
the Earth’s surface.

Do you know what a time zone is, or which time zone you live in? In this video, you and your kids will learn all about time zones. You'll even learn some interesting facts about several time zones. For instance, did you know that the entire country of China has one time zone? Even if it's dark outside, it may still be 2 o'clock in the afternoon! In addition to that, both Alaska and Hawaii are the only states in their time zones. Including Alaska and Hawaii, there are six total time zones in the USA.
You will also learn how some of these time zones get their names. In America, the time zones are named according to their general location. The Eastern time zone is so named because it's on the east side of the country. The Pacific time zone is next to the Pacific ocean. And Mountain Standard Time is called just that because of the Rocky Mountain range that runs through many of the states in that time zone.
What about jet lag? Or even flying in an air plane when it never seems to get dark? This video also explains why both of these odd things can happen. You may have even experienced it yourself!
We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about time zones! If you want even more information, head over to our website and download one of our many free lesson plans about time zones, full of activities, worksheets, and more!

The Checks and Balances that are in place in the United States are important for kids to understand and in this video we explain how the three branches of government can work together but are also in place to check on each other and make sure that not one branch has too much power.
Separation of power has been important since the United States were formed and In short the constitution states that there are to be three branches of government, and the balance of power between the branches will be equal. The 3 branches include the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial branches. The Legislative branch is made up of the House of Representatives and the Senate make up the Legislative branch. The Executive branch includes the President, Vice-President, and the Cabinet, which is made up of people who give advice to the President such as Secretary of State, Defense, Homeland Security and many others. Finally, the Judicial branch consists of nine judges called justices, and they oversee the United States court system (The Supreme Court).
Each of these branches can keep the other branches in check and to pass any major law or bill these branches must learn to work together. In this video your kids / students will learn how the three branches work independently and together.
