ASL Duck Billed Platypus for Kids

ASL Duck Billed Platypus for Kids Teacherflix 2 Views • 1 year ago

Have you ever seen a duck-billed platypus? This video for kids talks all about one of the most curious mammals in the world. With a duck bill, beaver tail, and otter foot, the platypus is quite strange. Despite being a mammal, it actually lays eggs instead of experiencing live births. They lay their eggs in underground burrows near water that hatch around two weeks later. The young stay with their mother for only about four weeks before swimming off to forage on its own.

While its features are odd, they all have their use. The duck bill is flexible and soft and has thousands of receptors to help them find food in the dark. Their webbed feet push through water quickly. And their tails act like rudders on a ship. They steer the platypuses where they want to go. Additionally, a platypus can remain under water for nearly two minutes before coming up for air!

Believe it or not, a platypus doesn't have any teeth. When it shovels mud and silt into its bill, it also captures gravel. It uses the gravel to chew and grind food. These shy creatures are also very small. Adults weight only around three pounds. That makes them pretty easy prey. However, male platypuses have venomous stingers on their rear feet that can deliver a poisonous sting to attackers.

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

ASL Cardinal Directions for Kids

ASL Cardinal Directions for Kids Teacherflix 2 Views • 1 year ago

What are Cardinal Directions? In this video built as an introduction to kids we will learn all about the 4 Cardinal Directions which are: North, South, East, West. Each time you go somewhere, you travel or move in a direction, which is the course or path you move in. You might walk down the street and then turn right or left, later turn around and return home. You are moving in different directions throughout the day. In the same way, cars, airplanes, buses, trains, and other vehicles move in different directions too. However, instead of turning to the right or left, or traveling up or down the
street, there are special words used to name the directions a vehicle or person can travel.

There are four main directions or points called cardinal directions (sometimes cardinal points). The four points include north (N), east (E), south (S), and west (W). The direction words are found on maps, compasses, street signs, and in many other places. The cardinal directions help people travel from place to place. In this video you'll learn it all and even have a chance to practice what you learn at the end.

To enhance your child's learning we invite you to visit us at https://learnbright.org/lesson....s/social-studies/car to download a free 10-page lesson plan with cardinal directions worksheets, activities, and even more fun content.

ASL The Respiratory System for Kids

ASL The Respiratory System for Kids Teacherflix 2 Views • 1 year ago

Have you ever wondered how your body breathes and converts carbon dioxide to oxygen? In The Respiratory System for Kids video, you will learn how exactly we do this. You will also learn about the other components and functions of this important body system. All living things need oxygen to survive. As humans, we use our lungs and other parts of the body to breathe properly and receive oxygen.

Our lungs take up most of the space in our chest, and our ribs are there to protect them and the heart. Speaking of the heart, the left lung is smaller than the right so that there's more room for the heart! On the outside, lungs are pink, spongelike, and kind of squishy. Another fun fact: Yawning is a sign that the body needs more oxygen. When we get sleepy, the brain sends a particular signal in tell our lungs to breathe in more air.

Have you ever noticed that you can breathe through both your mouth and your nose? If we breathe through the nose, the air gets filtered by tiny hairs called cilia. These hairs line the passageways of the nose to filter out dust and other substances. The air travels down the trachea, or windpipe, which is also lined with cilia.

The pharynx, which is actually part of both the respiratory and digestive systems, carries food and air divided into two pathways. The esophagus is for food and leads to the stomach. Air travels through the larynx (voice box) that leads to the trachea. At the back of the throat area is a flap of tissue called an epiglottis. The epiglottis covers the air-only passage when we swallow to keep food or drink out of the windpipe. Keep watching to learn more.

We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about this important body system! If you want to learn even more, head over to our website and download one of our many free lesson plans about the human body and how it works, full of activities, worksheets, and more!

Who Was Rosie the Riveter? for Kids | Learn the history behind this historical icon

Who Was Rosie the Riveter? for Kids | Learn the history behind this historical icon Teacherflix 2 Views • 1 year ago

Do you know where the "We Can Do It!" poster came from? In Who Was Rosie the Riveter? for Kids, you'll learn about the history of the poster and its significance during World War II. You may be wondering what exactly a riveter is. Well, it's someone who job is to fasten or secure things using rivets. You can find rivets on the hulls of ships or on airplanes where the metal skin attaches to the wings.

Before the war, mostly men worked factory jobs doing mechanical work, including the job of riveting. Once the US joined the war, most of the factory workers went to fight in the war. That meant there were lots of jobs that needed to be filled, especially since many of the things the military needed were the things factories produced. So who was left to fill those rolls? Women!

A campaign to recruit female workers began, and Rosie the Riveter was born! Redd Evans and John Jacob Loeb wrote the song entitled "Rosie the Riveter" in 1942, basing it off of a woman named Rosalind P. Walker. Rosalind was working at a factory that made fighter airplanes for the military. The famous poster was created in 1942 by J. Howard Miller to encourage people to work together to help the US win the war. It later became associated with the Rosie the Riveter campaign, which is why most people now associate the poster with Rosie the Riveter!

We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about Rosie the Riveter! If you want to learn even more, head over to our website and download one of our many free lesson plans about famous women in history, full of activities, worksheets, and more!

Checks and Balances for Kids | Three Branches of Government | Checks and Balances Explained

Checks and Balances for Kids | Three Branches of Government | Checks and Balances Explained Teacherflix 2 Views • 1 year ago

The Checks and Balances that are in place in the United States are important for kids to understand and in this video we explain how the three branches of government can work together but are also in place to check on each other and make sure that not one branch has too much power.

Separation of power has been important since the United States were formed and In short the constitution states that there are to be three branches of government, and the balance of power between the branches will be equal. The 3 branches include the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial branches. The Legislative branch is made up of the House of Representatives and the Senate make up the Legislative branch. The Executive branch includes the President, Vice-President, and the Cabinet, which is made up of people who give advice to the President such as Secretary of State, Defense, Homeland Security and many others. Finally, the Judicial branch consists of nine judges called justices, and they oversee the United States court system (The Supreme Court).

Each of these branches can keep the other branches in check and to pass any major law or bill these branches must learn to work together. In this video your kids / students will learn how the three branches work independently and together.

ASL Who Was Sitting Bull? for Kids

ASL Who Was Sitting Bull? for Kids Teacherflix 2 Views • 1 year ago

Have you ever heard of the name Sitting Bull? In this video, you and your kids will learn all about this incredible Lakota chief. Sitting Bull lived during the time of Manifest Destiny and the Indian Removal Act. Manifest Destiny was the idea that it was America's God-given right to expand westward and own all the land. The Indian Removal Act allowed the US government to force Native Americans to reservations.

Sitting Bull was born in 1831 with the name of Jumping Badger. It wasn't until he was 14 that he earned the name Sitting Bull after defeating an enemy. This brave act foreshadowed a life of courage as he continually defended his people throughout his life. Most famously, he and his people defeated the US soldiers under George Custer's command in the Valley of the Little Bighorn.

Sadly, Sitting Bull and his people were forced onto reservations despite the Treaty of Fort Laramie that promised the Black Hills of South Dakota to the Lakota nation. He was given permission to travel and met Annie Oakley and Buffalo Bill Cody. Cody managed a wild west traveling show to which Sitting Bull became a part. However, Sitting Bull experienced a lot of persecution and eventually left the show. He lived out the remainder of his days on the reservation until he was killed in 1890.

We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about this incredible Native American chief! 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!

ASL Albert Einstein for Kids

ASL Albert Einstein for Kids Teacherflix 2 Views • 1 year ago

In this video about Albert Einstein for Kids we learn about one of the most famous scientists in history. Albert Einstein contributed to many scientific areas but one of his most important contribution to the world of physics and science is the Theory of Relativity. The theory changed how scientists observed the world and led to many modern inventions, including the nuclear bomb and nuclear energy. The theory explains how energy is related to mass.

One equation from the theory that you may have heard of is "E = mc2". The c represents the speed of light and never changes and is the fastest speed possible in the universe. E = energy, M = mass. His theory explains how time and distance may change when the different speed of an object or the observer is considered.

Believe it or not...Albert Einstein, like many people, struggled with education early in his life, he failed many tests and wasn't very organized, but he did not give up. He worked hard, became interested in math and science, and went on to become one of the most brilliant people in history. We all have learned and can continue to learn from the example of Albert Einstein.
