How much do you know about this famous historical figure from U.S. history? In this video, you will learn about his life growing up and his achievements as a politician and inventor. For instance, did you know he was the 15th of 17 children? And he stopped going to school at 10 years old. He spent the rest of his life learning on his own.

Something many people know about him is that he used to write letters about current events that he submitted to a newspaper that his brother owned. He used a pseudonym, or fake name—Mrs. Silence Dogood. Eventually, he ran his own newspaper called the Pennsylvania Gazette. This became one of the most successful newspaper in the 13 colonies!

Benjamin Franklin was the only American to sign all four of the major documents involved in the founding of the United States! These are the Declaration of Independence, a Treaty of Alliance with France, the Treaty of Paris, and the Constitution. He became an ambassador and diplomat to France, and he convinced the French to help America in their quest for independence from Great Britain.

Surely you know about Franklin's electricity experiment involving a kite, a key, and a lightning storm. Did you know he used two specific types of string in order for his experiment to work? One string needed to produce an electric charge while the other would remain dry and not produce an electric charge. Keep watching to find out more interesting facts about Benjamin Franklin.

What is a graphic organizer? In this video for kids, your students or kids will learn about several types of graphic organizers that they can use to take notes or organize information. They are likely very familiar with Venn diagrams, which are easy to create and understand. Venn diagrams are an excellent way to compare and contrast information.

But what about when you want to simply make connections or show a chain of events or sequence? There are plenty other types of organizers that allow us to evaluate things differently. One is a circle map, which helps you define things. You could write a main idea, such as sharks, and then write what you already know and what new information you learn. Similar to the circle map, another type is a prior knowledge chart. The main topic is in the center. The outer circles can include new information, things you would like to know, or things you already know.

Text connects help you better recall information you have read. Chain or sequence of events organizers allow you to show different steps in a process, or the chain of events that lead to a discovery. You can organize them in different ways as well. The last organizer we discuss is main idea and details, which works really well for nonfiction passages. You can write the main ideas from different paragraphs then write out their supporting details.

We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about these different ways to organize your notes! If you want even more practice, head over to our website and download one of our many lesson plans, full of activities, work-sheets, and more!

What do you know about the continent of South America and its countries? In All about South America for Kids, you will learn facts about the geography, people, and history of the fifth largest continent in the world. You might already know some things about it, but let's see what else you can learn!

Speaking of geography, South America touches three of the five oceans: Pacific, Atlantic, and Antarctic (Southern). And only two of its countries are landlocked, meaning that they don't touch an ocean. The largest country is Brazil, which is home to the most populous city on the continent, Sao Paolo, which has almost 15 million people! The total population of Brazil overall is over 200 million, about half the number of people living on the entire continent.

One of the most famous landmarks in South America is Machu Picchu, an ancient landmark meaning old mountain that was discovered in 1911. Even though the Spanish captured much of the Incan civilization that lived along the Andes Mountains, they did not find Machu Picchu. This ancient city is one of the seven new wonders of the world.

South America boasts several other famous attractions, such as the Christ the Redeemer statue, a 125-foot-tall statue overlooking the city of Rio de Janeiro. It is also one of the seven new wonders of the world. Another cool place is in Bolivia: Salar de Uyuni is the world's largest salt flat, spanning over 4,000 square miles! Lots of pink flamingos live on this prehistoric dry lake.

We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about this cool continent! 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!

Using adverbs in sentences is a great way to add description and detail. In What Is an Adverb? for Kids, you and your students will learn all about the role adverbs play in our language. Similar to advertisements that hype up a product, adverbs hype up sentences and give them a little extra kick.

Adverbs describe verbs in more detail, providing information on when, where, how, how much, or how often the action takes place. For instance, if you want to sell lemonade in your neighborhood, you might create a banner with the word "LEMONADE" across it. But you are likely to get more customers if you explain the kind of lemonade you are selling. Putting "freshly squeezed lemonade" is more accurate, and more appealing! The word "freshly" is the adverb that describes how you prepared your refreshing drink.

As another example, let's look at this sentence: I will read my book. That is a pretty vague statement. When will you read the book? Now let's take a look at this sentence: I will read my book tomorrow. Adding the adverb "tomorrow" provides more detail, makes the statement much more informative. That being said, keep in mind that adverbs can be vague (I will meet up with you later!) as well as specific (I will see you at 3 o'clock tonight!).

We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning how to identify adverbs in sentences! If you want even more practice, head over to our website and download one of our many lesson plans about adverbs, full of activities, worksheets, and more!

What do you know about the many African countries? Have you ever visited any of the famous landmarks? Learn all about this beautiful continent in Facts about Africa for Kids. You and your students will discover just how amazing Africa is.

Almost right off the bat, you and your kids will learn that Africa is considered the Mother Continent or Cradle of Mankind. The reason is that Africa is the oldest inhabited continent on the earth. In fact, scientists have found fossils of humans and their ancestors through every stage of evolution. Africa is divided into 54 countries, which is the most of any continent. It is home to over 3,000 indigenous peoples, over 1,000 languages, and has a total population of 1.1 billion people.

Africa is surrounded by water, and its landmass is divided almost equally in half by the equator. The terrain includes a variety of habitats, including mountains, tropical rainforests, savannahs, and deserts. With such a variety of terrain, it's no wonder there is also a lot of different animals as well. These include lions, elephants, hippopotamuses, and zebras. But it also includes gorillas, snakes, and other tropical animals. You may be surprised to learn that the most dangerous animal toward humans is not a lion or crocodile. It's actually the hippo! Hippos are the most likely animal to attack a human.

What is the difference between something that is alive and something that is not? You and your kids will learn all about the characteristics of both living and non-living things. Both have special characteristics that differentiate the two groups. Living things grow, eat, and reproduce. They can also breathe, have senses, and move. However, some non-living things can move, too. Think about fire or water. They aren't alive, but they definitely move!

Things that are alive grow, such as chicks that become hens or sprouts that become plants. They also have to eat, or take in nutrients, to survive. Different species need different nutrients, but they all require nutrients to live and grow. And both plants and animals reproduce to create more of their own kind. Non-living things can't do any of these things.

In addition, things that are not alive also do not breathe or have senses. For instance, a teddy bear cannot feel you touch it. A waterfall cannot see anything. However, some of these objects do move. As mentioned, fire and water aren't alive, but they move all on their own. Other things, like cars, can move as well, but not on their own. These objects require people to make them move. In addition, non-living things can be solids, liquids, or gases.

We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about what determines if something is alive! 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!

#LivingAndNonLivingThings
#WhatMakesSomethingAlive

What weighs about three pounds, uses electrical impulses, and stores unlimited amounts of information or data? Your brain! In this video for kids, you will learn a lot more about this fascinating organ of the human body that is almost like a computer. As the main part of the central nervous system, the brain has lot of important functions. This video will teach you about six parts of the brain and what they do.

The cerebrum is the biggest part of the brain. It makes up about 85% of the brain's weight. It allows us to control voluntary muscles so they can do things like kick a ball, walk down the street, or jump in the air. It also allows us to think. We depend on this important part of the brain when it comes to remembering things as well.

The brain stem, which connects the brain to the spinal cord, is responsible for things like breathing, digesting food, and circulating blood throughout the body. It controls involuntary muscles, which are the muscles that work on their own. For instance, the brain stem tells the heart to pump blood or the stomach muscles to break food down. It is below the cerebrum and in front of the cerebellum. Speaking of the cerebellum, this part of the brain controls balance, movement, and coordination. Without it, you would have trouble moving around.

The other three parts are the pituitary gland, the hypothalamus, and the amygdala. The pituitary gland controls how the body grows by producing and releasing hormones. Without it, you would never grow as you age. The hypothalamus controls the temperature of your body. When it's hot, it tells your body to sweat, and it tells your body to shiver when it's cold. And the amygdala is like the control center for feelings and is responsible for your emotions.

We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about how the brain works! 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 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!

#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?

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!

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

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!
