ASL Colonial Times for Kids

ASL Colonial Times for Kids Teacherflix 6 צפיות • לִפנֵי 2 שנים

What would it be like to work for 16 hours a day, days a week? Nowadays, that is very uncommon in the United States. But during colonial times, that was the way life was for most people. In Colonial Times for Kids, you will learn about the daily life and habits of people who lived during this period of American history.

Let's start by talking about the children and what typical life was like for them. They had the chance to go to school, but they had better access to education if they lived in the city rather than on a farm. Many farm children learned to read and write from their father or church minister. Wealthier families might hire special tutors to teach their kids or send them to schools in England. Boys and girls did not have the same educational opportunities, though. In fact, many girls never learned to read or write.

Unfortunately, this was also a time during which people employed indentured servants, laborers brought over from Britain, or owned slaves. Indentured servants agreed to work for about seven years in return for their passage to America. But slavery grew in the colonies because the indentured servants were not easy to control and more difficult and costly to obtain. Some of the first African American indentured servants were forced into slavery rather than gaining their freedom after the seven-year work period.

Houses of this era were generally small, sometimes containing just a single room. The frames were made of wood, roofs of dried grasses, and floors of dirt. A fireplace inside was used for cooking and producing heat during the winter. Eventually homes on plantations grew larger, adorned with glass windows, wooden or carpeted floors, and quality furniture.

We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about this period in American history! 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!

ASL Animal Camouflage

ASL Animal Camouflage Teacherflix 6 צפיות • לִפנֵי 2 שנים

What is camouflage? Why do animals need to use it? Well, in Animal Camouflage, your kids and students will learn the answers to these questions! First off, there are many different kinds of camouflage, and we will discuss four of the main kinds that apply to animals in this video. Did you know that there is actually more than one reason that animals use camouflage?

A lot of animals use camouflage to hide from predators. The colors of their skin or fur helps them blend into the environment around them. Some animals, though, use camouflage to hunt. For the same reason that camouflage helps some animals hide to avoid predators, other animals blend into their surroundings to catch their prey unaware! In addition to hiding and hunting, a few animals use their coloring to communicate. Take the chameleon, for example. Most people think chameleons use color changing to fool predators. But that's not actually true! Chameleons change colors to communicate to other chameleons! They change color to communicate danger, to attract a mate, or simply to signal a change of environment.

These animals are so cool! You and your kids will discover just how many different types of animals take advantage of this amazing characteristic. And maybe you just might stumble upon one of these incredible creatures!

We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about all these amazing and colorful animals! If you want to learn more, head over to our website and download our free lesson plan about animal camouflage, which is full of activities, worksheets, and more!

ASL Fables for Kids

ASL Fables for Kids Teacherflix 6 צפיות • לִפנֵי 2 שנים

Do you recognize the story, The Tortoise and the Hare? This story is called a fable. In Fables for Kids, you will learn about this unique type of story and the elements that must be included. Can you think of any of those elements off the top of your head?

All fables have five specific characteristics. They must be fictional, meaning that it is an imaginary story. Generally, these stories are fairly short. The element you probably knew already is that fables teach a moral lesson. "Slow and steady wins the race," for example, is the lesson we learn from The Tortoise and the Hare. In all fables, the main characters are always animals that act like humans. Finally, the setting of a fable is always outside.

Where did fables come from? Aesop, a slave of African decent who lived in ancient Greece, had a collection of fables that we now call Aesop's fables. Historians are still unsure whether he wrote all the stories himself or simply gathered them from other sources. Even though he lived a long time ago, his stories were passed down to the present day!

We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about this special genre of stories! If you want even more practice, head over to our website and download one of our many free lesson plans about reading, full of activities, worksheets, and more!

ASL All about North America for Kids

ASL All about North America for Kids Teacherflix 6 צפיות • לִפנֵי 2 שנים

How many countries make up North America? A lot of people think of Canada, the USA, and Mexico. In All about North America for Kids, you and your students will learn that this continent actually includes 23 countries! These include Costa Rica, Honduras, Panama, Grenada, Saint Vincent, Cuba, and Haiti.

North America is the third largest continent in the world, behind Asia and Africa, and covers 16.5% of the earth's land area. It was named after the Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci. The continent borders the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, the Caribbean Sea, and South America. It also includes all the major biomes or habitats, such as tundra, coral reef, and desert. The geography of the countries of North American vary as much as its wildlife. There are around 965 different mammal species that call different parts of the continent home.

You will also learn a lot about the history of the continent. Scientists believe the Paleo-Indians from Eurasia used a land bridge between modern-day Siberia and Alaska to travel to North America to settle. They developed organized societies, and some ancient civilizations even built temples and created writing systems and calendars. Eventually colonizers from Europe traveled to the continent, which often displaced the native peoples of North America and settling on their lands.

There is so much more to learn about this continent. The video includes information on famous landmarks, such as Niagara Falls and the Great Pyramid of Tenochtitlan. These are only a few of the many attractions that millions of people visit every year.

ASL Fact and Opinion for Kids

ASL Fact and Opinion for Kids Teacherflix 6 צפיות • לִפנֵי 2 שנים

What is a fact? What is an opinion? And what is the difference between the two? In Fact and Opinion for Kids, you and your student(s) will learn how to tell the difference between a statement of fact and one that is simply a person's opinion.

This video starts out with a great example that demonstrates opinions. Andrew loves pizza, his mom loves ice cream, and his dad loves apples. None of these foods are the best food in the world to everyone, so each person's favorite food choice is their opinion. Facts are statements that can be proven. The sun is yellow. The sky is blue. These are facts that people can prove quite easily. Summer is the best time of year. Soccer is the most fun sport to play. These statements cannot be proven. They are opinions because people prefer different things. Some people may believe summer to be the best time of year. Others, though, might prefer autumn or winter weather even more.

Some opinions can be supported by facts. While they are still opinions, they can be considered widely accepted because of the facts that support them. There are two reasons to know the difference between facts and opinions. One reason is that listening to others' opinions help you better understand them and know them better. The other reason is that knowing the facts about something helps you make important decisions.

We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning how to differentiate between a fact and an opinion! 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!

ASL Laws and Rules for Kids

ASL Laws and Rules for Kids Teacherflix 6 צפיות • לִפנֵי 2 שנים

What is the difference between a rule and a law? What would life be like if neither rules nor laws existed? In Laws and Rules for Kids, you will discover the answer to these and other questions you have about these concepts. They have similarities, such as the fact that both exist to keep people safe. But they are also different in a few ways. For instance, if you break a law, it may have more serious consequences than breaking a rule does.

A law is created by the government, and the public enforces these laws. A rule relates to behaviors that we should follow in certain situations or places. Breaking a law and breaking a rule both lead to consequences. If you litter, which is breaking the law, you might have to pay a fine. If you throw a ball inside your house even though there is a rule not to, you might break something and get in trouble.

In general, rules are used by smaller groups, like families, schools, teams, and business. Laws are used in much larger groups, like cities, states, and countries. Individuals create rules for different places and situations, such as parents in a family or teachers in a classroom. On the other hand, laws must be voted on by people in government offices or by the citizens.

Again, the consequences or punishments for breaking rules are not as severe as those for breaking laws. If you break rules at school, you might have to skip recess or miss out on certain activities or privileges. If you break a law, you could pay a fine, go to court, do community service, or even serve jail time! Watch the video to see if you can tell the difference between a rule and a law.

ASL Gravity for Kids

ASL Gravity for Kids Teacherflix 6 צפיות • לִפנֵי 2 שנים

What goes up must come down! Have you ever heard this phrase before? This refers to the concept of gravity. In Gravity for Kids, you will learn about gravitational force and how it works in the universe. Gravity is a force of attraction between objects. Several things affect the strength of an object's gravitational pull.

Did you know that every single object in the universe has a gravitational force? Even you! This is because objects have mass. The greater an object's mass, the greater its gravitational force. This is why the gravity on Earth is way stronger than your own gravitational force. It's also the reason you end up falling back toward the earth when you jump in the air.

Sir Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein are the two most famous scientists when it comes to studying the concept of gravitational force. Newton discovered that the rate of the gravitational force of the earth will be the same for every object regardless of its weight. If you dropped a brick and an apple off a building at the same time, they would hit the ground at the same time.

Albert Einstein discovered that gravity effects light as well, even though it has no mass. Light turns more and more red as gravity pulls on it. Human eyes cannot detect the change, but scientists have been able to use special instruments to measure light's color. Black holes have more mass than anything in the universe. Because of this, even light gets sucked in and stuck!

We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about this cool natural force! If you want to learn even more, head over to our website and download one of our many free lesson plans about gravity and related topics, full of activities, worksheets, and more!

Black History Month for Kids | Learn about the month-long celebration of African American history

Black History Month for Kids | Learn about the month-long celebration of African American history Teacherflix 6 צפיות • לִפנֵי 2 שנים

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!

Comets for Kids | Learn about where Comets come from and how they are formed!

Comets for Kids | Learn about where Comets come from and how they are formed! Teacherflix 6 צפיות • לִפנֵי 2 שנים

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.

Idioms for Kids | What Is an Idiom, and What Do They Mean?

Idioms for Kids | What Is an Idiom, and What Do They Mean? Teacherflix 6 צפיות • לִפנֵי 2 שנים

What is an idiom? These statements can often be a little confusing because they don't seem to make sense! In Idioms for Kids, your kids and students will learn what idioms are and how fun they can be to use. Idioms are considered a tool in figurative language to make something more interesting. Sometimes they use comparisons between very different things—like fish and visitors—to paint a picture for the hearer. Other times, they don't seem to make any sense at all. "When pigs fly" means that whatever you're describing will never happen, because pigs will never be able to fly. And to say "Break a leg!" means to wish someone good luck. Surely, breaking your leg is not good luck! As your kids will find out, idioms can often be rather strange.

This video also points out that idioms from one country may not make sense to people from another country. The phrases we use in America might not translate well for people who live in Australia or England, even though English is the common language among the three countries. Idioms make sense to the people that live in the country from which the phrase comes.

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

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!

Galileo Galilei for Kids | Learn about this famous scientist and mathematician

Galileo Galilei for Kids | Learn about this famous scientist and mathematician Teacherflix 6 צפיות • לִפנֵי 2 שנים

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!

Extinction for Kids | Learn why some animals and plants no longer exist

Extinction for Kids | Learn why some animals and plants no longer exist Teacherflix 6 צפיות • לִפנֵי 2 שנים

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!

What Is a Volcano? for Kids | Learn all about these unique landforms

What Is a Volcano? for Kids | Learn all about these unique landforms Teacherflix 6 צפיות • לִפנֵי 2 שנים

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!
