Abraham Lincoln for Kids | Learn all about the 16th president of the US

Abraham Lincoln for Kids | Learn all about the 16th president of the US Teacherflix 5 Views • 2 years ago

Abraham Lincoln is largely considered one of the greatest presidents this country has ever seen. In Abraham Lincoln for Kids, you will learn so many wonderful things about this great president. For instance, did you know he was such a good wrestler that he is honored at the National Wrestling Hall of Fame?

Lincoln was born in Kentucky in 1809 to parents who could neither read nor write. He was rarely able to go to school and learned things himself from books he borrowed from others. At a young age, his mother died. After his father remarried, they moved to Illinois. Abraham worked as a storekeeper, surveyor, and post master. By the age of 25, he was elected to the local government.

He then started studying law and began working as lawyer. His work as a lawyer earned him the nickname many of us recognize—Honest Abe. This is because of the trustworthy way in which he ran his practice. Lincoln served one term in the US House of Representatives but failed twice in a row to be elected to the Senate. Nevertheless, his opposition to slavery helped him win the presidential nomination two years after his second Senate loss.

Abe Lincoln became president the same year as the start of the Civil War. He is known for his famous Gettysburg Address and the Emancipation Proclamation, which freed all slaves. He even crafted the Thirteenth Amendment. The end of the war finally came on April 9, 1865. Sadly, less than a week later, John Wilkes Booth assassinated the president, who had just been reelected for a second term.

Weather for Kids | What is weather, and how does it work?

Weather for Kids | What is weather, and how does it work? Teacherflix 5 Views • 2 years ago

You probably know about weather, but do you know what it actually is, how it works, and why it changes depending on where you are in the world? In Weather for Kids, you will learn that there are a number of factors that affect the weather outside. It's not just about how hot or cold it is. Think about what it feels and looks apart from hot or cold, such as wet or dry, clear or cloudy, and calm or stormy. This video discusses what causes all of these effects.

You can use a thermometer to figure out how hot or cold it is outside quite easily. Should you weather a coat? Or is it time for a swim and a swimming suit would be more appropriate? Temperature is only one factor that affects the weather. Have you ever heard of humidity? The amount of water vapor in the air determines the humidity levels. Humidity refers to how wet or dry it is outside. The weather in hot desert likely has a very low humidity level, if any at all. However, in a tropical rainforest, even if it's warm as well, it may be very wet instead of dry.

Another factor is air pressure. What air pressure affects is the presence of clouds. Basically, places that experience high pressure will show clear skies. Areas with low pressure have lots of clouds. To measure air pressure, you would need a barometer. Finally, there is the factor of wind. Wind and wind speed relate to storms. If it's calm outside, it is likely that there isn't much wind. Or if there is, it's not very quick; it's a light breeze. On the other hand, storms imply a lot of fast wind. Have you ever noticed that when it's stormy, you also tend to feel the wind?

Thanksgiving for kids | The history of the first Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving for kids | The history of the first Thanksgiving Teacherflix 5 Views • 2 years ago

In our video Thanksgiving for Kids, you will learn about the history of our very first "Thanksgiving" and how the holiday as we know it today became official.

The story of the first Thanksgiving is quite different from the holiday we celebrate today. When you hear the word Thanksgiving the first thing you may think about is turkey, or maybe the Fall or football, or perhaps you look forward to a couple of days off from school. In the 1600s, the first Thanksgiving had nothing to do with turkey, football, or school. It did take place during the Fall, and there was a feast shared by many people.

Thanksgiving is an annual celebration and a national holiday which commemorates a harvest festival celebrated by the Pilgrims in 1621. In the United States, it is held on the fourth Thursday in November. It is often remembered by religious observances
and a traditional meal, which today includes turkey. The present Thanksgiving holiday did not become official until 1863.

Before that time, three different presidents beginning with Washington tried to make it a national holiday, but it was limited to state observances and celebrations. However, many people believed that Thanksgiving should become a national holiday. Sarah Josepha Hale, an editor of a popular women’s magazine campaigned to make it a national holiday again. Finally, in 1863 President Abraham Lincoln declared Thanksgiving as a holiday to give thanks for “general blessings”.

Since that time America has celebrated Thanksgiving every year with a traditional meal, often with family and friends, and giving thanks for their blessings.

Who Is George Washington for Kids | Learn about the first president of the USA

Who Is George Washington for Kids | Learn about the first president of the USA Teacherflix 5 Views • 2 years ago

Who is George Washington? What did George Washington do? Did he cut down a cherry tree? In this video we learn all about George Washington for kids. George Washington was the very first president of the United States and has a profound impact on history not only in the United States but in the whole world! In this short but fun introduction video you and your students will learn all about him and the impact he had on the world.

George Washington was the first President of the United States. He was
born February 22, 1732 in Virginia. At age 16 he had a job as a surveyor, which means he measured the size
of new land turning the information into maps. He later became a landowner in Mount Vernon, Virginia and was
elected to the Virginia legislature.
Due to problems with the British wanting to control the colonies,
Washington led the Continental Army in a victory over the British during
a war called the American Revolution.
Several years later, after the war, Washington was elected as President
in 1789 until 1797. He helped create and guide the government based
on the words of the Constitution, and he took on many roles that are still
part of the presidency today.

The Korean and Vietnam Wars | Learn all about the wars in Korea and Vietnam

The Korean and Vietnam Wars | Learn all about the wars in Korea and Vietnam Teacherflix 5 Views • 2 years ago

What do you know about the wars that the United States of America has participated in? In this video, you and your students will learn about the Korean and Vietnam Wars, the conflicts that caused the wars, and the resulting effects on the countries involved.

After World War II, Japan lost control and occupation of Korea. The country divided at the 38th parallel, with North Korea as a communist country and South Korea as a capitalist country. The two areas did not get along, even before the war. The two countries officially split, and in June of 1950, North Korea invaded South Korea and began the war.

The Korean War ended up being a fairly short war, but many lives were lost, including civilians of the country and U.S. military. The Vietnam War followed shortly after and lasted 20 years. The United States sent troops to Vietnam about 10 years after the war began after Ho Chi Minh declared war against South Vietnam and bombed two U.S. destroyers. The goal was to unite North and South Vietnam; however, the U.S. and South Vietnam were unsuccessful. It was not a popular war, and the military who served in the war were treated very poorly when they returned.

We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about the Korean and Vietnam wars. 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!
