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!

We all know the ocean is huge. But what else do we know? Almost 98% of all the water on the earth is in the ocean. Even though it's so big, only about 5% of it has even been explored! Large parts of the ocean remain a mystery. Marine biologists estimate that there are between 700,000 and 1 million species that live in this ginormous pool.

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.

Financial Literacy—Making a Budget explains how to create a budget based on your income and expenses. This will help your kids learn how to use a spending plan in order to use their money wisely.
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!

When you get sick, what happens in your body to help you get better? In What Is the Immune System for Kids, you will learn how the human body fights against bad bacteria and viruses to keep it safe. And when you do get sick, certain parts of the immune system also help heal you and make you feel better. In fact, it is constantly working to battle bad germs that try to invade your body and attack you every day.
The parts that make up the immune system are the skin, white blood cells, and the lymph system. The skin is actually the body's first line of defense because it covers the whole body like a shield. This is why it's important to keep yourself clean. Since germs spread very easily by skin contact, washing your hands is one of the best ways to help prevent the spread of germs.
White blood cells are like "watchers" of the blood. They multiply constantly because they only live for a few weeks. There are three types of white blood cells, one of which specifically helps keep the body clean during the healing process. These are called macrophages. Another kind, lymphocytes, are the white blood cells that attack infections. Different types of lymphocytes have different responsibilities. Some find hidden germs and unhealthy cells and destroy while others produce antibodies to fight specific germs.
Did you know that sometimes the immune system fights against good things? When it thinks a particular food, for instance, is bad, it will attack it, causing symptoms like sneezing, itching, hives, or other reactions. In other words, it causes allergies and an allergic reaction. When the immune system attacks healthy cells because it mistakes them for unhealthy, it means the body suffers from an autoimmune disease.

The life cycle of a butterfly is one of the most amazing things in all of the natural world. In this video we help kids and students learn about butterflies and the 4 main stages of their life cycles, which are:
Stage 1 - All butterflies are born from eggs, which are attached to leaves. They only last for up to couple of weeks, or less, depending on the butterfly species. When hatched the first phase of a butterfly is being a caterpillar.
Stage 2 - Once the caterpillar is fully developed, it hatches from the egg. This is also called a larva. The stage lasts about 5 to 10 days. The caterpillar has strong jaws and eats leaves.
Stage 3 - In this Pupa stage, the caterpillar or larva attaches itself to a branch or the underside of a leaf. For a final time, the caterpillar sheds its skin and then begins metamorphosis, changing into a butterfly. It may take between 7 to 10 days for the butterfly to emerge from the pupa.
Stage 4 - When the full butterfly emerges it will live anywhere from just a week to nearly a year, depending on the species of butterfly. The butterfly’s goal is to reproduce and to lay eggs. The life cycle of the butterfly will begin again.
The life cycle of a butterfly truly is amazing! We hope you and your kids enjoyed the video. If you're looking for more resources about butterflies, download our free lesson plan, complete with more resources and activities.

What is the difference between a bee and a wasp? This video for kids provides some helpful information to help you answer that question! You will also learn some other fun information about both of these types of insect. If you like, you can download the lesson plan to follow along (link below).
Right off the bat, you can probably tell a few differences between bees and wasps, such as the fact that bees seem hairy while wasps look shiny and smooth. That's because bees tend to have hair that makes them look fuzzy. In fact, their fuzzy bodies help them collect and spread pollen. Wasps have slimmer bodies and aren't quite as good as bees at disseminating pollen.
Their diets differ as well. Bees tend to consume pollen and nectar, which is the sweet fluid that flowers produce. Wasps are natural predators, on the other hand. They feed arthropods and other insects to their young. They are aggressive hunters that leave their nests specifically to look for food. However, they do occasionally focus on collecting sweets during the later summer and fall months.
Both bees and wasps are extremely important to the environment. They help distribute pollen to cross-pollinate plants, which helps produce so much of our food sources! Wasps help keep the arthropod population under control as well. Without them, we would have way too many caterpillars, spiders, and flies. Sadly, the bee populations continue to decline.

Have you ever heard of the painting we call the Mona Lisa? It's one of the most famous paintings in the whole world, and it was painted by one of the most famous artists ever: Leonardo da Vinci. In Leonardo da Vinci for Kids, you and your students will learn all about him and his life and accomplishments.
Leonardo da Vinci was born on April 15, 1452, in a city called Vinci, Italy, which is pretty close to Florence. He lived during the Renaissance period, the start of the Modern Age. A lot of famous artists, writers, and philosophers lived during this time as well. As a kid, Leonardo loved being out in nature and never went to school. Instead, he learned reading, writing, and mathematics at home. At age 15, he became an apprentice for a prominent artist, but he soon surpassed the skills of his mentor.
Some of the most famous artworks in da Vinci's lifetime include The Last Supper, the Mona Lisa, and Vitruvian Man. Interesting fact: The Duke of Milan asked Leonardo da Vinci to paint a mural on his dining room wall. And The Last Supper is what he painted! Da Vinci also did a lot of important things besides art. In fact, he had over 20,000 pages of notes filled with inventions and other ideas.

In this video we run through the 50 States of America and give a history of the how the 50 U.S. States came to be. We talk about the 13 original colonies, the Louisiana purchase, acquisition of Florida, treaty of Guadalupe hidalgo, the Oregon Treaty and more!
To learn more download our 50 States of America Lesson Plan here: https://learnbright.org/lesson....s/social-studies/50-
The United States did not always have 50 states. A long time ago in the 1700s the country did not yet exist. The land was here, but there were no states until 1787. During that time, the first pieces of land, which are called states today, were called territories or colonies. Colonies were formed in America when people from England came and lived in different places on the East coast. There were 13 original colonies, which were also the first states of America. They are shown on the map to the left.
As time passed more and more states joined together and the United States was formed with a total of 50 states. The first state of America was Delaware and the last state to become part of America was Hawaii. It is important to learn the different names of the 50 states of America. When you hear the news, read a book, or do school work, the different names of the states may be said. The more you read about the different states, and see the names of each state, you will start to remember them.
