Photosynthesis for Kids is a great science video aimed to teach 1st to 3rd grade students learn about Photosynthesis and how plants are able to make their own food!
In this video we teach that plants and animals are living things. Both need the food and energy to live. Animals get their energy from the plants and animals they eat. Plants, however, do not have a mouth and cannot eat like animals.
The food-making process for plants is called photosynthesis. It might be a big word, but photosynthesis is used by plants to make their own food as well as produce oxygen for other living creatures.
Without plants making their own food through photosynthesis, living things could not survive. People and animals eat the food that comes from plants, but also take in the oxygen released by the plants. The air you breathe in has oxygen which came from plants.
So we learn that Photosynthesis is important not only for plants but for all living things! Come learn more in the video!

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!

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!

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.
We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about Helen Keller! 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 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!
We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about place values! 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!
