Part of becoming financially literate is understanding how to calculate interest. In this video, your kids or students will learn what exactly interest is and how they can calculate it. Interest is an amount of money that you either pay or earn. Whether you pay or earn depends on the situation. If you borrow money, you have to pay interest. If you save money at a bank, you will earn interest.

There are a few terms you should be familiar with. The principal is the amount of money you start with that you are borrowing or spending. Another term to know is rate. The rate is the percentage you are charged (if borrowing money from a bank/company) or paid (if saving money in a bank). You will be able to use the rate and principal to determine the interest using an equation: Interest = Principal x Rate x Time (years).

The video goes through a helpful example scenario to walk you through calculating interest when saving money at a bank. In this case, Frankie Finance is starting with $200. The rate will be 0.15. Based on the equation, Frankie will earn $30 dollars per year in interest. Next, you can follow another scenario in which Frankie borrows money and owes $30 extra a year! The equation is the same regardless of whether or not you're borrowing or saving.

What do you know about dinosaurs? The Mesozoic era divides into three smaller periods: Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous. To this day, scientists still debate about the cause of dinosaurs' extinction. Was it because lots of volcanoes erupted at the same time? Or was it because a meteor crashed into Earth and caused a ton of damage?

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

Did you know that millions of years ago, all the land on the earth was connected? Pangea for Kids explores the history of the earth. You will discover some pretty interesting facts about the planet we live on! So let's get into it. How and why doe the earth look the way it does today?

Pangea was a supercontinent, meaning that all the continents we know of today were part of the same land mass. Keep in mind, this was nearly 300 million years ago. Scientists have discovered that the continents today are like big puzzle pieces that all fit together. They realized the possibility of a supercontinent when they discovered fossils of certain dinosaurs in areas that are currently separated by oceans.

But how did the continents split? The earth is made up of several different sections called plates. These tectonic plates in the earth's crust move incredibly slowly over the mantle layer of the planet. The constant movement of the plates changed what the land looked like on the surface. Sometimes the plates bumped each other. Other times they moved apart. And they also slid side by side. Over time—millions and millions of years—the continents we know of today separated more and more.

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

The ocean is vital to our planet because it produces over half of the world's oxygen supply. It also absorbs 50 times more carbon that the atmosphere. We can also turn to the ocean for food, transportation, and recreation. In addition, the ocean helps regulate weather patterns, creates employment opportunities, and provides ingredients for medicines.

Algae is all around us and has many important uses. But what exactly is Algae and what are the different types of algae? We will learn about this and more in this video all about algae for kids! Algae (alga is the singular spelling) are a type of plant-like living things
that make their food just like all other plants, from sunlight by photosynthesis.

Algae are commonly found living in the sea, oceans,
rivers, lakes, ponds, or even in aquariums. There
are two different types of algae: macroalgae and
microalgae. Macroalgae are something you are very
familiar with-- seaweed. Microalgae are referred to as phytoplankton. Micro- means very small, so think of them as small plants that
live in the ocean, rivers, ponds, or lakes.

There are many different kinds of Algae from Seaweed, to Brown, Green and Red Algae and all have different purposes that we explore in the video! We also invite you to download our FREE comprehensive Algae lesson plan that is packed full of more content, activities, algae worksheets and more!

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.

Did you know the forces of nature like wind or weather change the physical structure of how things look over time? In this video for kids, you will learn all about the processes of weathering and erosion. You will discover that there are three main types of weathering and three main types of erosion. The two process seem pretty similar, but they are actually different. But they practically work together to both destroy landforms and create new ones!

The three types of weathering are chemical, mechanical, and biological. Chemical weathering changes minerals inside or on the surface of rocks. Mechanical weathering is caused by ice, the sun's heat, and a couple other natural forces. Biological weathering involves plants and animals, as well as humans. It is called "biological" because this type of weathering happens because of a living organism. For instance, a tree root growing out of a rock is slowly breaking that rock into smaller pieces.

The three main causes of erosion are water, wind, and ice. Water can cause erosion through rainfall, rivers, and floods. The force of water pushes or pulls rocks and sediment to a new location. Wind similarly picks up and carries loose particles and dust. And glaciers are constantly moving and shifting, which causes erosion too!

Did you know that mammals, reptiles, birds, fish, and amphibians all have quite a few traits in common? In this video for kids, you and your students will learn all about the different animals that belong to a group we call vertebrates. When you think of vertebrates, you probably think of the presence of a backbone. But there are even more common traits among these unique animals.

There are five key characteristics that distinguish vertebrates from other animals. They have backbones, skulls, endoskeletons, bilateral symmetry, and two pairs of appendages. These traits allow their muscles to attach to points that can be used for movement. All vertebrates also have a heart and kidneys.

Vertebrates further classify into seven classes based on their anatomical features. These classes are mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, bony fish, cartilaginous fish, and jawless fish. Mammals are endothermic so they can regulate their body temperature. Birds have feathers and toothless beaks. They also lay hard-shelled eggs. Reptiles also lay eggs. Reptiles include snakes and crocodiles. Amphibians are a little unique in that they undergo metamorphosis as they go from birth to adulthood.

The fish group divides into three classes: bony fish, cartilaginous fish, and jawless fish. Bony fish, like seahorses, have a skeleton made of bone rather than cartilage. Bony fish is the largest class of vertebrates. Sharks and rays are examples of cartilaginous fish. Primitive fish like hagfish belong to the jawless fish category.

We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about this small group of animals! If you want to learn even more, head over to our website and download one of our many lesson plans about different kinds of animals, 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.

What do you know about magnets or magnetism? Magnets for Kids teaches you about magnets and how and why they work. People use magnets for more than just hanging up artwork and grocery lists on their refrigerators. In fact, the very center of the earth is made of two metals that cause a giant magnetic field! A magnetic field is the area surrounding a magnet. Let's see what else you learn!

Every magnet has a north pole and a south pole. A north and south pole will always pull toward each other, or attract to each other. If you try to take two magnets and face the north poles toward each other, they will repel. The same is true of the south poles.

There are a few types of magnets: temporary, permanent, and electromagnet. Temporary magnets become magnetized when a magnetic field is present. But they lose their magnetism when that magnetic field goes away. Permanent magnets, on the other hand, are made of materials like iron or nickel that are already magnetized and have their own magnetic field. In fact, the earth's core is made of iron and nickel, which is why it is magnetic.

Electromagnets are the last type. These magnets are created by running an electrical current through a coil with a metal core. The energized core creates a magnetic field. It stops working as soon as the electric current turns off. An MRI machine at a hospital is an example of an electromagnet. Other things with magnets in them include telephones, door bells, motors, and compasses.

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

Sometimes it's hard to distinguish whether something is a necessity or we just want that thing. Financial Literacy for Kids provides the basics about needs versus wants, budgeting, credit versus debit, and more. The points are easy to follow and understand. By the end, students will receive a good foundation of these points of financial literacy.

A need is something that is necessary to survival. Food, water, and shelter are needs because we need those things to survive. Wants include much more, from toys and books to phones and cars. While it can be difficult to tell the difference sometimes, these definitions will help you find the answer.

The video also reviews the concepts of saving versus borrowing. 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.

Budgeting is a very helpful tool to help control or manage our finances. A budget designates a certain amount of money to go toward certain things. For instance, perhaps you budget $50 for food for a week. If you spend more money on food than you budgeted for that week, you may have to save money somewhere else to ensure you don't spend more money than you have and go into debt.

Budgeting is a great skill to have that will help you learn how to save for something you want to buy. A budget is a spending plan to based on your income and expenses. In other words, it estimates how much money your earn and spend over time. Expenses can be either fixed or variable. Fixed expenses are the same every time you have to pay them. Variable expenses, well, vary.

To make a budget, you have to look are how much money your earn or receive as gifts (income). Then you look at your expenses. Subtracting your expenses from your income gives you the amount of money you have left over to spend on something you want. You must be careful to watch out for unexpected expenses though, which can put a dent in that budge of yours!

Did you know that different parts of the world are called different things according to the areas properties and wildlife? In this video, you and your kids will learn about several types of habitats that are found all around the globe. You'll learn about the driest places, the wettest places, the coldest places, the tallest places, and more!

First up is grasslands. These areas are full of tall grass and not a lot of trees. You can find them on every continent except Antarctica. Types of grasslands include prairies and savannas. Deserts are next. Even though most people think deserts are always hot, this isn't actually true. Some are very cold. These places are defined as having very little rain or being incredibly dry. Not a lot of animals or plants can survive the desert habitat.

Next you'll learn about a few types of forests: rainforests, temperate forests, and coniferous forests. Rainforests receive rain all year around and are home to more animals than all the other habitats combined!. Temperate forests are ones with trees that lose their leaves in the winter or remain green all year around. Coniferous forests are the forests that have the tallest trees in the world. They can survive extremely cold temperatures.

Speaking of cold, mountain habitats are much cooler because they are so high up. They receive less oxygen. Polar regions are likewise extremely cold. In fact, they're the coldest places on Earth. There are only two polar regions—the Arctic at the top of the globe and the Antarctic at the bottom. Very few types of animals can live here, such as polar bears and whales.

Water habitats exist as well, both freshwater and saltwater bodies are home to habitats like coral reefs and oceans. Freshwater habitats can be found nearly anywhere in the world. Coral reefs are usually around tropical areas of the globe. The ocean is the largest animal habitat in the world. I bet you can guess why! And believe it or not, cities and farms are their own habitats as well.

We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about several types of habitats that we have on Earth! If you want to learn even more, head over to our website and download one of our many free lesson plans about habitats, 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.

How exactly does sound work? If a tree falls in a forest but no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? In this video, you and your kids will be able to answer both those questions. There are sounds all around us. Sound is made from vibrations, which are a series of small, fast movements that move back and forth or from side to side. Even our voices create sound because our vocal cords move from side to side. We can feel it whenever we put our hands on our throats and hum.

When an object vibrates, it causes movement in the surrounding air particles. Those particles bump into other particles, making them vibrate too. This process continue until the particles run out of energy. This movement is called sound waves. Sound waves are what help vibrations travel. Whenever we are close enough to an object's vibrations, the sound waves it creates will reach our ear.

Have you ever heard of pitch and volume? Pitch has to do with the highness or lowness of a sound. Faster vibrations yield a higher pitch while slower vibrations yield a lower pitch. Volume, on the other hand, measures the loudness or quietness of sound. This is also called its intensity or power. The higher a sound's intensity, the higher its volume.

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

Do you know what the five food groups are? Do you know which foods fall into each category? In Food Groups for Kids, you will learn about the benefits that foods in each of these groups provide your body and keep you healthy. You will also discover how many servings a day you should have of each one.

Fruits include things like apples, nectarines, and bananas. They provide your body with lots of essential vitamins and nutrients. Vitamin C and potassium are two very important vitamins and minerals that your body needs. Vegetables like carrots and spinach may not be as sweet as fruits, but they have tons of vitamins and nutrients that you need as well!

Grains probably makes you think of bread and cereal. This group also includes pasta, tortillas, and popcorn! These foods also provide you with fiber, which helps your body do a lot of good things. Next are proteins, which include foods like meat, fish, beans, and tofu. They can provide your body with energy and help your bones and muscles grow strong. Similarly, dairy products can also strengthen your bones, and give you vitamin D to help reduce your risk of diseases.

Each group requires a different number of servings each day. And those serving sizes differ as well. Fruits, for instance, require 1 1/2 cups per serving while proteins require 5 ounces per serving. Some foods even contain multiple food groups in one place, like pizza, which can have grains from the bread and toppings from the other four groups.

We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about these five different food groups! 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!

As we discussed in the introduction video to this series, deciding between needs and wants can be tough. Financial Literacy—Needs and Wants explains the difference between needs versus wants. But it goes further and describes what opportunity cost is. This will help your kids learn how to make decisions, not between needs and wants, but wants and more wants.

A need, as you now know, is something that is necessary to your survival. Food, water, and shelter are needs because we have to have those things in order to survive. Wants include way more things because there are lots of things in this world that we don't have to have to survive. Toys, games, books, subscriptions to stuff. While it may be hard to decide between a need and want, sometimes it's even harder to decide between two wants.

Opportunity cost relates to decisions between wants. It is basically the cost of missing out on the option you do not choose. The video offers an example in which Frankie Finance has to choose between a pair of rollerblades she has saved up for and going to the movies with her friends. The rollerblades cost more than she has, but there will be a sale to bring down the price to one she can afford.

If Frankie chooses the rollerblades, she will miss out on a movie night with her friends. If she chooses to go to the movie, she will not be able to afford the rollerblades, which will be on sale for one day only. If she doesn't buy them then, she will not be able to get them. There is an opportunity cost tied to each decision. One thing you can do to help you make decisions like this is to create a pros and cons list!

We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about the difference between a need and a want! If you want even more information, head over to our website and download one of our many free lesson plans about financial literacy, full of activities, worksheets, and more!
