What do you know about sharks? Did you know they are technically a type of fish? Did you know they have been around for about 450 million years? That's older than the dinosaurs! In this video, you and your kids will learn all about sharks and what makes them a unique creature on this earth.

For one thing, sharks don't have any bones in their bodies! Their skeletons are made of cartilage, which is what your ears and noses are made of. Sharks also have up to 14 gill slits that help them filter oxygen from the water. Most sharks look pretty similar to one another, but there a number of species that looks pretty interesting! Hammerheads and saw sharks are among those odd-looking fish.

The biggest fish in the world is the whale shark, which can weigh up to 41,000 pounds and be as long as 33 feet. Whale sharks are among the 400 currently known species of shark. And all these sharks often have distinct shapes, colors, teeth, diet, and more. In addition, there are a number of very unique qualities that make sharks special. Watch the video to find out!

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

Have you ever seen, in person or in photographs, the giant obelisk in Washington, DC? This tall building at the opposite end of the reflection pool in front of the Lincoln Memorial has quite a bit of history behind it. Named after George Washington, the monument was designed by Robert Mills following a competition for designs held in 1836 by the Washington Monument Society.

The construction of the monument took place in two phases due to lack of funds, political turmoil, and uncertainty about the survival of the country. No construction took place between 1856 and 1876. During the first phase between 1848 and 1856, they constructed the first 150 feet of the monument, composed of a pile of bluestone gneiss unfinished rubble stones held together by mortar.

The remainder of the monument was constructed between 1876 and 1884. It was composed of finished marble surface stones and partially backed by finished granite stones. The difference in the shading of the monument can be seen where the construction was halted and later resumed with the marble from a different source.

Surrounding the monument on the outside perimeter are fifty American flags flying 24 hours a day on a large circle of flagpoles centered on the monument. In 2011, an earthquake in the area slightly damaged the monument with over 150 cracks. Most of the damage occurred in the pyramid section at the top. Speaking of the pyramid top, the monument was originally going to have a flat top instead.

What does Newton's last law of motion state? In this Newton's Third Law of Motion video for kids, you will learn the answer to that question and much more. The third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. What does this actually mean?

Think of a rocket. The exhaust from an erupting rocket moves downward while the actual rocket moves upward. Another example is found when a cannonball shoots out of a cannon. The cannonball shoots forward as the cannon moves backward. Because the cannon is so much heavier than the cannonball, it doesn't look like it moves very far, but the reaction is still equal in the amount of force.

One last thing. Have you ever tried to move heavy furniture? You may have noticed that it starts out kind of hard to move. However, as you start to move the heavy object, it gets a little easier. The friction that happens is sliding friction, which is the same sensation you get when you rub your hands together really quickly! Notice how your hands get warm? That's why!

We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about Newton's final law of motion! 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!

In this fun educational video we learn about Abraham Lincoln for Kids. This is an engaging introduction to the life of Abraham Lincoln and answers many questions including: "What is the Emancipation Proclamation?", "Who is Abraham Lincoln?", "What did Abraham Lincoln do?" and many others! He is one of the most important presidents of the United States that we have ever had and played a vitally important role in the abolition of slavery in the United States. Let's learn about "The Great Emancipator" Abraham Lincoln together.

Abraham Lincoln was the 16th President of the United States. He was born on February 12, 1809 in Kentucky. Lincoln educated himself using borrowed books. He never went to a formal school and at age 25 he got into politics and became an Illinois legislator. He began studying the law and worked as a lawyer, and later became a U.S. Congressman, but then lost trying to become a Senator. He argued against slavery, and fought hard his whole life to end that practice. In 1860 he became the President of the United States and during his term the United States broke out into a Civil War largely because of differing views about Slavery.

During the war Lincoln singed the Emancipation Proclamation that eventually lead to the 13th Amendment which ultimately helped abolish Slavery and freed millions of slaves. At the height of the Civil War he gave one of the most famous speeches in History...The Gettysburg Address. He was instrumental in the Civil War Victory and changed the path of history forever. We hope you and your kids enjoy learning about Abraham Lincoln.

Do you know the difference between a right and responsibility? In this video, you and your kids will learn that, while they may seem similar, rights and responsibilities are actually pretty different. There are many rights and responsibilities, and some of them differ among various communities.

A right is something every human being deserves, no matter who they are or where they live. For example, everyone deserves food and water, clothing, and more. Responsibilities come with rights. These are things that a person must do or think about that may have an effect on other people. The two concepts do connect.

You have the right to go to school. But it is your responsibility to get out of bed and actually attend. You have the right to healthy food, but it is your responsibility to be home for dinner when it's time to eat. Not everyone has the exact same rights and responsibilities, however. You may have the right to stay up late some nights. But there may be a rule where you have to be responsible for doing chores and homework every day or else you can't stay up.

We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about these two concepts! 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 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.

What is an inference? Making an inference simply means to use what you already know to make a guess about something that you don’t know. It is a very important reading comprehension skill and throughout this video we help your kids and students practice making inferences.

There are 4 main steps to making inferences that we cover in this video. They are:
1. Read the text.
2. Look for clues or important facts and details.
3. Combine those details with things that you already know.
4. Make inferences about what you are reading.

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!

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

Germs are everywhere. They are often responsible for making people sick. They're so small, you can only see them with a microscope. In Germs for Kids, you and will learn all about the four types of germs that exist in the word: bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa. Let's see what you already know and what you will learn throughout the video!

The first type is bacteria. Bacteria are single-celled organisms that live inside and outside of you body. They can cause ear infections, sore throats, cavities, and more. Not all bacteria are bad, though. In fact, there is lots of good bacteria in some of the food we eat, and our bodies need good germs to help use up the nutrients we ingest. Doctors even use good bacteria to create medicines and vaccines.

Viruses, on the other hand, are all bad. Some examples include chicken pox, the flu, and the measles. Viruses like to invade healthy cells and multiply as the host cell multiplies. Because our bodies have so many cells, there are lots of places for viruses to invade. When we get sick from a virus, we can get what's called a vaccine or immunization to help fight it.

The next type of germ is fungi. A fungus is like a plant and actually consists of many cells rather than just one. Fungi like to live in warm and wet places, such as between a person’s toes. Many fungi don’t cause problems for healthy people. Examples include athlete’s foot, skin infections, and other rashes. Some fungal infections are contagious and can pass from one person to another.

The last type of germ is a protozoa. Like fungi, protozoa live in wet places. And like bacteria and viruses, they also have only one cell. Many live in the water, which is how they spread diseases and infections. Water that is not safe to drink may contain protozoa. These germs can lead to stomach aches, diarrhea, and nausea. The video explains lots of ways to help stop the spread of germs. Keep watching to find out!

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

What do you know about the American Civil War? In Civil War History, you will learn why the states in the North and South fought each other so fiercely. You will discover some interesting facts, and some very sad facts, about the war and its participants. The entire conflict revolved around the concept of slavery and whether or not the country should be able to practice it.

There were 11 states in the southern region of the country that wanted to continue enslaving Africans to work their tobacco and cotton fields. The states wanted to secede from the union and govern themselves in order to continue practicing slavery. When the government refused, the South attacked the North in the Battle of Fort Sumter and began the war.

You will learn who some of the leaders involved in the conflict were, including Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee. President Abraham Lincoln gave the Emancipation Proclamation some time before the end of the war, but it was not immediately followed by the South. Near the end of the same year, President Lincoln gave his Gettysburg Address in November of 1863, and it is considered one of the most powerful oratories given by any U.S. president. On April 9, 1865, Grant defeated Lee and finally ended the war. Only six days later, Abraham Lincoln was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth.

Did you know that there are three main parts (or branches) of the U.S. government? It's true! The three branches are the executive, legislative, and judicial. In this Three Branches of Government video for kids, you will learn about the people who work in each branch and how they balance each other out. In fact, one reason we have three branches is in part to ensure there are checks and balances and that no one branch has too much power or control.

The executive branch is the one that the president belongs to. The vice president and the cabinet (a group of people who advise the president) are also part of this branch. The president specifically is the country's leader and can approve or veto laws passed by the legislative branch. The vice president is the second highest executive office in the government. However, this person is also the president or head of the Senate.

Speaking of the Senate, it is one of the houses of Congress. The other is the House of Representatives. These two houses of Congress are responsible for writing, discussing, and voting on laws. The Senate approves the president's appointments to the cabinet, meaning that they have a say in who the president picks for certain jobs. The House of Representatives can override the president's vetoes if they have a large enough majority.

Finally, the judicial branch is where you would find the Supreme Court, a group of nine individuals (eight justices and one chief justice) who oversee the U.S. court system. These individuals have no term limits and can serve as a Supreme Court judge for life. The Supreme Court decides whether something is constitutional or unconstitutional. It also decides which court cases to review and sometimes determine new ways to interpret the law.

We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about the three branches of the U.S. government! If you want even more information, head over to our website and download one of our many free lesson plans about the United States, full of activities, worksheets, and more!
