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? Visit us at learnbright.org and download our free 10-page comprehensive meteor lesson plan. It's full of fun, hands-on activities that will get your student(s) excited about space.

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!

We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about animals that are extinct or endangered! 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!

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!

What is water pollution? Did you know there are different kinds of pollution? In this video, you and your kids will learn all about the ways that water is harmed and contaminated. You will also learn how we can help make water cleaner and safer for the wildlife that live there. Even though we, ourselves, need clean water for drinking and other uses, aquatic animals that live in oceans and lakes need clean water as well to survive.

Would you rather swim in a lake that is clear and blue or one that is filled with plastic bottles and bags, waste, and chemicals? Naturally, you would want to swim in a clean lake. Well, so do fish and other animals in the sea. Water pollution is caused by many different factors, but the primary one is humans. For many, many years, we have been throwing our "trash" in the ocean. Sometimes our trash is made up of actual garbage, such as plastic water bottles and grocery bags, soda can holders, and straws. Other times, it's made up of sewage and waste, chemicals, and oils.

What can you do to help the water pollution problem? First of all, you can share some of the facts you learn in this video with your friends and family. For instance, did you know that over one billion people do not have access to clean water? That is 13% of the world's population! You can also follow the three R's: reduce, reuse, and recycle. Reduce your water usage, reuse items whenever possible, and recycle any items that you can.

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

#HowToKeepWaterClean

Have you ever heard someone explain that force equals mass times acceleration? This equation (F = M x A) is Newton's second law of motion. In this Newton's Second Law of Motion video for kids, you and your students will learn about force, mass, and acceleration and how each of these work together.

The "f" in the equation stands for force. Force, as you will learn, can be balanced or unbalanced. If you are playing tug of war, for instance, who will win? The answer depends on the amount of force on each side of the rope. If your side has more mass, then the amount of force goes up, and you will win! However, if your side has less mass, you will lose because the other team will have more force.

Mass is what the "m" in the equation stands for. Mass is essentially the amount of matter something has, which is what everything is made up of. For example, an elephant has far more mass than an insect. But just because something is bigger, it doesn't mean it has more mass. Compare a basketball and a bowling ball. The basketball is bigger than a bowling ball, but the bowling ball has more mass than the basketball. After all, a basketball is filled with air, which definitely does not have a lot of mass!

The "a" stands for acceleration in the force equation. Think of when you press down a gas pedal or the pedal of your bicycle. When you do so, you increase your acceleration. Acceleration means the change in speed or direction. This also applies when you, say, ride a skateboard down a ramp. You accelerate as you roll down the ramp.

What Lives in the Oceans: https://learnbright.org/lesson....s/science/what-lives

The Oceans of the earth are vast…they are humongous! Over 72% of the earth is covered with water called Oceans and Seas

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.
~ The word Atlantic means “Sea of Atlas”.
~ Cities on the Atlantic Ocean include Miami and London.

Indian Ocean: Located between Africa, Australia and parts of Asia
~ Largest breeding grounds of the world for humpback whales.
~ The Suez Canal in Egypt is a waterway in the ocean.
~ 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.
~ Sometimes called the “frozen ocean”, almost completely covered in ice during the winter,
~ There are more fish species here than anywhere else in the world.

Southern Ocean: Located around the South Pole across the Antarctic circle
~ Home to the Emperor Penguins and Wandering Albatrosses
~ Sometimes it is also called the Antarctic Ocean
~ Icebergs are found throughout the Southern Ocean
~ No people live along the coast of the ocean

Did you know that plants require a lot of the same things you do to grow and survive? In How Plants Grow for Kids, you will learn about four of the main things plants need to grow. These "core four" elements are soil, sunlight, air, and water. What do each of these things do for plants? Let's find out!

Plants will find most of the nutrients they need in the soil. These nutrients include nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium. Nitrogen is what causes the leaves of plants to be green. Phosphorous contributes to the overall health and strength of the plant and its root system. Potassium helps the plant fight off diseases. Soil also supports the plant and helps prevent it from falling over.

The next element is sunlight. The sun produces energy through the light that plants can use to make food. The leaves are the part of the plant that makes this process, photosynthesis, happen. Without this process, plants would not be able to survive. However, too much or too little sunlight can be harmful. Another important element is air. From the air, plants receive carbon dioxide, a component that, like sunlight, contributes to the process of photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide also allows plants to use the sun's energy to make its food and grow.

Finally, plants need water. Water is necessary for the plant to grow healthy and strong. The water a plant receives helps guide nutrients to the plant through its roots, stem, and leaves. It is possible for plants to receive too much water. Too much sunlight harms plants, and overwatering them can yield the same results. A couple other things plants need are temperature and space. Adequate temperatures ensure plants don't die out because of extreme hot or cold. And plants need enough room to grow into their full size. Overcrowding can cause disease or restrict plants from receiving enough air.

We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about the factors that affect plants and their growth! If you want to learn even more, head over to our website and download one of our many free lesson plans about plants, full of activities, worksheets, and more!

Hawks are amazing birds with the best eyesight in the entire animal kingdom! They are the most common bird of prey, meaning they hunt animals for food. They build large nests in the tops of trees, on cliffs, and even in cactuses. At around 50 days, the young hawks leave the nest and fend for themselves. Hawks are also very intelligent and use tools like sticks and rocks to find food. Look out for the full video next week. And check out the high-interest reading lesson plan all about these beautiful birds.

Do you know why the heart is so important? In The Human Heart for Kids video, you will learn that the heart, apart from pumping blood, also carries lots of other important things throughout the body. The heart is an organ made up mostly of muscle, and it plays a vital role in keeping you and your body healthy and strong.

The human heart is one the most important organs of the body that is essential for survival. It is part of the circulatory system, which is the body system that carries blood and other substances to and from the heart. The other main parts of the circulatory system are blood vessels, which include veins, arteries, and capillaries. And the heart beats automatically because it's controlled by the autonomic nervous system. In 24 hours, your heart averages about 115,000 beats per day!

So how does the heart work exactly? Well, the heart consists of left and right ventricles at the bottom and left and right atriums at the top. Blood pushes through the atriums into the ventricles on each side of the heart through little "gates" every time the heart beats. These gates basically help ensure the blood flows in the right direction. The blood travels through the different vessels throughout the rest of the body. You can think of blood vessels as little train tracks that carry blood to different parts of the body. The trip for a single drop of blood throughout the body takes only about a minute.

Blood carries oxygen, food, minerals, and vitamins as well, and all these things help your body move, grow, and make repairs. In fact, they even help you think! The stuff in your blood that the body doesn't need gets set out as waste through the lungs, kidneys, and liver. To keep your heart healthy, there are a few things you can do. Exercising will help strengthen the muscles of your heart. Eating fruits and vegetables also helps keep your arteries clear. Drinking plenty of water is also essential because water makes up about 83% of the heart. If you don't have enough water, your heart can become less and less healthy. Finally, remember to move around. Moving around helps both your body and your mind.

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

What is your favorite season in the year? The Four Seasons for Kids explores why we have these distinct periods throughout the year. You will learn a lot about spring, summer, fall, and winter. Did you know that the seasons depend on the rotation of the earth around the sun? Believe it or not, your location plays a part in the weather you experience outside.

As the earth rotates around the sun, different parts of the planet face the sun. For half the year, the Northern Hemisphere is leaning toward the sun, making the months warmer. During the other half, the Souther Hemisphere leans toward the sun. That means that when it's summer in the Northern Hemisphere, it's winter in the Southern Hemisphere! If you live in the United State and have a friend who lives in Australia, your winter is their summer and vice versa.

During the spring, flowers and plants bloom or blossom. In most parts of the United States, this season occurs during March, April, and May. Summer is next and occurs during June, July, and August. The temperatures warm up even more, sometimes getting very hot! In the fall, the weather starts to cool down, and the leaves of many trees change colors.

A lot of people refer to fall as autumn. During autumn, animals start to gather food to prepare for the winter months. And this is period is also when farmers harvest their crops. Fall happens from September to November, which leaves December through February for winter! Winter brings the coldest weather, but there are lots of fun activities to do outside during the winter, such as skiing and ice skating.

Not all places experience the four seasons. Some places, such as the North and South Poles, always face away from the sun, making them cold year around. Similarly, places closest to the Equator are always facing the sun, making them warm year around. You might live somewhere that doesn't change very much or seem to have distinct weather changes from season to season. But you probably still feel a little cooler in winter and warmer in summer, even if the changes aren't very drastic.

We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about these four seasons and what makes each one unique! 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!

Have you ever wondered how cracks form on the sidewalk? Or have you ever thought about what caused the Grand Canyon to be so big and wide? In this video, you and your kids will learn about weathering, the three types of weathering, and how they affect the earth.

Chemical weathering involves chemical reactions within the minerals inside rocks. Water, acids, and some gases contribute to chemical weathering. Mechanical weathering, or physical weathering, is caused by frost or ice, moving water, or the heat of the sun. The most common type of weathering involves water freezing in cracks in rocks. Speaking of the Grand Canyon, scientists believe it was caused by the Colorado River wearing down the rocks over the course of a long period of time. Biological weathering happens when plants and animals, as well as other living things, cause rocks to be broken into smaller pieces. Tree roots or burrowing animals like rabbits are great examples of why rocks might break as these biological influences affect them over time.

The end of this video contains a short review to test your knowledge. See if you can answer all the questions correctly!

We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about how the earth changes in these different ways! If you want to learn even more, head over to our website and download one of our many free lesson plans about weathering, full of activities, worksheets, and more!
