This short film features ideas on how to help pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds.
St Paul's CE Primary School in Stoke-on-Trent is a surrounded by areas of high deprivation. The school hands out basic food and hygiene packages to families in need. Staff also wash clothes on site for pupils who don’t have access to a washing machine.
Head Teacher, Nicola Finney says: “Never be afraid to ask the question - is everything okay? I see our school as a family, as a community. And if somebody in that family needs some support then we're going to support that family member. We're not going to turn our back on them.”
Barriers to success aren’t just limited to a lack of food or clothing.
Sarah Boyle, who teaches English at Falinge Park High School in Rochdale says: “We have a lot of young people who come to our school who have minimal understanding of English perhaps even minimal understanding of what a school day looks like and how a school day normally runs.” She runs a school debating team to help give students more confidence with their language skills.

CLIMATE CHANGE | Learn about Climate Change and our planet | Happy Learning ♻️ 🌏 🌲

Educational video for children where they will learn about what climate change is and what we can do to stop it and better care for our planet. Over the past centuries, the climate of the entire Earth has changed due to human actions, and it is becoming increasingly common to experience water scarcity, desertification, the disappearance of lakes, or even rising sea levels, all as a result of global warming, that is, the increase in the planet's temperature. In this video, we propose six measures to better care for our planet, including the use of renewable energies, public transportation, reducing the use of plastics, caring for living beings, recycling, and energy conservation.

Hello friends! Welcome to a new Happy Learning video.
Have you ever wondered how plants feed? To answer this question, we need to understand photosynthesis!

Photosynthesis is a process in which plants make their own food to be able to grow and develop. In order to perform photosynthesis, they need various elements: sunlight, carbon dioxide, obtained from air and water. They also need chlorophyll, which is a green substance that all plants have, and is fundamental for performing photosynthesis, since it could not happen without it. By the way! chlorophyll is what gives all plants their green colour!

But how does photosynthesis take place?
Look at this plant. As you can see, its roots are anchored to the ground, and through them, the plant absorbs water and minerals in the soil.
Water with minerals are transported up the stem, reaching the leaves. The leaves are full of tiny pores, called stomata, which absorb carbon dioxide that air in their surrounding contains.
All this containing water, minerals and carbon dioxide is called raw sap.

Now it’s chlorophyll’s turn!
The chlorophyll in the leaves has all the necessary ingredients for photosynthesis to take place and when it receives sunlight, the process begins by transforming the raw sap into elaborated sap, which also circulates around the plant and works as food.
All plants feed from elaborated sap, and they store it in their roots, like a carrot. Or in their fruit, like an apple or a pear.

Now we know how photosynthesis takes place but…
Why is it so important?

Without plants, there would not be life on Earth, we wouldn't have oxygen to breathe or food to feed on. You already know that herbivores eat plants and carnivores, eat herbivores. Plants are fundamental for the food chain. And they are also fundamental for our respiration. Actually, when humans breathe, we turn oxygen into carbon dioxide, quite the opposite of when plants perform photosynthesis. A curious fact you need to know is that, at night, because plants don’t have sunlight to photosynthesise, they breathe like humans do. They take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide. Remember that!

And one last thing so you understand the importance of photosynthesis. When plants absorb dirty and contaminated gases, they transform them into pure air, into oxygen! This way, they clean the atmosphere and all nature. Plants are the best solution to fight against contamination, don’t you think?

Students drop water from different heights to demonstrate the conversion of water's potential energy to kinetic energy. They see how varying the height from which water is dropped affects the splash size. They follow good experiment protocol, take measurements, calculate averages and graph results. In seeing how falling water can be used to do work, they also learn how this energy transformation figures into the engineering design and construction of hydroelectric power plants, dams and reservoirs.

Music: Rank and File - Silent Partner

Student pairs are given 10 minutes to create the biggest box possible using one piece of construction paper. Teams use only scissors and tape to each construct a box and determine how much puffed rice it can hold. Then, to meet the challenge, they improve their designs to create bigger boxes. They plot the class data, comparing measured to calculated volumes for each box, seeing the mathematical relationship. They discuss how the concepts of volume and design iteration are important for engineers. Making 3-D shapes also supports the development of spatial visualization skills. This activity and its associated lesson and activity all employ volume and geometry to cultivate seeing patterns and understanding scale models, practices used in engineering design to analyze the effectiveness of proposed design solutions.

I love coffee. Like, a lot. You know who else loves coffee? Astronauts! And also the people who help them do awesome things in space (I think NASA might be powered by coffee). But how do astronauts actually drink coffee in space, aboard the International Space Station, in microgravity? I visited astronaut Don Pettit to learn about his invention for having a cup o’ Joe in orbit. This is some awesome science.
