ASL Bacteria and Viruses for Kids

ASL Bacteria and Viruses for Kids Teacherflix 2 Views • 1 year ago

What is the difference between bacteria and viruses? In Bacteria and Viruses for Kids, you will learn all about these two microorganisms. The first thing you will learn is that not all bacteria are bad. In fact, the majority of bacteria on the planet and in your body are actually good. You can find bacteria in things like yogurt, soy sauce, and pickles!

So what are bacteria? They are single-celled organisms so small that you can't see them without a microscope. They don't have a nucleus like other single-celled Common shapes include rods, spirals, and spheres. All these organisms move in different ways too. Some move like swimmers using tail-like structures called flagella. Others stay still and don't move much at all. Then there are some that slither or slide their way around.

Most bacteria are not harmful. However, there are some that can make you sick. These are called pathogens. Common pathogens include food poisoning, leprosy, and typhoid fever. To fight these pathogens, you can use antibiotics or antiseptics. You can actually find antiseptics in soaps because it's how you keep your hands clean. Good bacteria, on the other hand, are good for many reasons. They help you digest food and keep your immune system strong. They also break down dead plant and animal material to help keep soil healthy. And, they produce about half of the oxygen in the atmosphere!

What about viruses? All viruses are bad. Scientists debate whether these organisms are living or dead because they don't have an organized cell structure and can't reproduce unless they attach themselves to a living cell. The word virus comes from the Latin word for "slimy liquid." These organisms attack healthy cells. As those cells reproduce, the virus reproduces too and spreads. Many kinds can pass from person to person through hand-shaking, food contact, and through water.

Who Was Sitting Bull? for Kids | Learn all about this Lakota Chief

Who Was Sitting Bull? for Kids | Learn all about this Lakota Chief 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.

Mount Rushmore for Kids | Learn all about the history of Mount Rushmore

Mount Rushmore for Kids | Learn all about the history of Mount Rushmore Teacherflix 2 Views • 1 year ago

Mount Rushmore is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the United States. What do you know about the monument and the individuals whose heads you see? In Mount Rushmore for Kids, you and your students will learn about some of the history behind this huge sculpture. You will also discover why the four presidents on its face were chosen to be the subjects of the monument.

Construction for Mount Rushmore began in 1927. Much earlier in 1884, a lawyer from New York named Charles E. Rushmore traveled to South Dakota's Black Hills National Forest. He decided to name the mountain after himself when he learned that it had never been named before. Fast forward to the 1920s: There was some discussion over a period of years about who to sculpt into the mountainside. In the end, the subjects they agreed upon were George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, and Theodore Roosevelt.

It took 14 years to build the monument and required the help of nearly 400 men and women who served in various capacities. They had to endure extreme weather condition and had to climb 700 stairs every day to reach the top of the mountain! An interesting fact you may not know is that 90% of the mountain was carved using dynamite. Despite these dangerous conditions, not one worker died in all 14 years.

You may wonder why those four presidents were chosen. George Washington led the colonists in the American Revolutionary War. He was the "Father of the Country" and the first president. He was chosen to represent birth. Thomas Jefferson was chosen to represent growth because of his role in expanding the size of the U.S. by purchasing the Louisiana Territory. Abraham Lincoln represented the preservation of the nation because of his impact on preserving the Union during the Civil War and abolishing slavery. And finally, Theodore Roosevelt provided leadership when America experienced rapid growth. he also linked the east and west parts of the world through the construction of the Panama Canal. He represented development.

We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about this amazing monument! 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!

ASL Who Was Anne Frank?

ASL Who Was Anne Frank? Teacherflix 2 Views • 1 year ago

Imagine having to hide in a secret hidden room to protect yourself and your family. That's what Anne Frank and her family had to do during World War II. In this video for kids, you will learn a lot about Anne Frank, an incredible individual who endured unimaginable suffering like so many other Jewish people during this time in history.

Anne Frank was born in Germany in 1929 to Otto and Edith Frank. She also had a sister named Margot. Otto's family, who was Jewish, had lived in Germany for many generations. Because Adolph Hitler, who hated Jews, gained control of the German government, the Franks had to move to the Netherlands. For a few years, life was pretty normal, but the family was unable to escape to the United States or England before the war started in 1939 and before the war spread to the Netherlands.

Jewish people had to endure immense persecution over the next couple years. There was always a threat of being sent to concentration camps. The Frank family decided to go into hiding. Otto, his family, and some friends moved to a secret annex in 1942, when Anne was just 13 years old. They lived there for a couple years, and Anne started writing a diary about her experiences. She hoped one day to publish it as The Secret Annex and become a famous writer.

Unfortunately, Anne Frank and her family were discovered in August of 1944 and arrested. They were sent to concentration camps a month later. Anne and her sister died of typhus in March of 1945, just two months before the end of the war. Of all the individuals who lived in the secret annex, Otto was the only one to survive. Miep Gies, a woman who had hidden Anne's diary when the Franks were arrested, gave the diary to Otto, who published it under the title The Secret Annex. Anne's wish came true—she became a famous writer whose book has sold over 30 million copies and been translated into 70 languages.

We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about Anne Frank! 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!

Thanksgiving for kids | The history of the first Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving for kids | The history of the first Thanksgiving Teacherflix 2 Views • 1 year 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.

ASL John F. Kennedy for Kids

ASL John F. Kennedy for Kids Teacherflix 2 Views • 1 year ago

John F. Kennedy for Kids is a great video that discusses the life of one of the country's most popular presidents. He was born at the end of May in 1917, and he was the second of nine children. Growing up, he was often sick and even battled a sever case of scarlet fever when he was only three years old. But he worked really hard and had lots of help to get better.

At age 19, he enrolled in Harvard University and focused on history and government. He graduated college and then joined the Navy. Once there, he immediately distinguished himself when he earned a purple heart and became a war hero after the boat he commanded was destroyed. He gained the nickname of JFK, which is often what people refer to him as.

After the war, JFK pursued politics and ran for office as a Democrat. He first served in the House of Representatives and then in the senate of Massachusetts. He married Jacqueline Bouvier and had two living children. John F. Kennedy ran for president with Lyndon B. Johnson as his VP. And he won! He became the youngest person ever elected, and the first Catholic, to the office of president.

JFK was a huge supporter of the civil rights movement and wanted to pass more laws that guaranteed equal rights for people. Sadly, he was assassinated in 1963, less than three years after he was elected. Despite his short presidency, his legacy lives on. His call for peace, justice, and equality are still important today.

Periodic Table of Elements for Kids | Learn all about the elements on the Periodic Table

Periodic Table of Elements for Kids | Learn all about the elements on the Periodic Table Teacherflix 2 Views • 1 year ago

What is an element? And how many known elements are there in the vast universe? Periodic Table of Elements for Kids answers these and other questions and explains how the table came to be in the first place. Elements make up everything in the whole world, so it makes sense to learn a little more about them. The Periodic Table provides us with a lot of valuable information about these different atoms.

The first person to propose that scientists arrange the elements in a table was Dmitri Mendeleev in 1869. At the time, there were only 65 known elements, and Mendeleev arranged them according to their atomic weights as well as by their similar properties. Today, the table has seven rows, called periods, and 18 columns, called groups. The elements in each group have similar properties. For instance, the elements that can be classified as alkali metals all align in one group.

What you can learn about each element on the table depends on which table you look at. Some provide more information than others. For the most part, you can discover the element's name, atomic number, atomic weight, and symbol. Many symbols reflect the name of the element. For instance, the symbol for calcium is Ca. Others reflect the Latin origins of the word, such as for gold, the symbol for which is Au.

We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about the many elements on Earth! If you want to learn even more, head over to our website and download one of our many free lesson plans about atoms or elements, full of activities, worksheets, and more!

Duck-billed Platypus for Kids | Learn all about this curious mammal

Duck-billed Platypus for Kids | Learn all about this curious mammal 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!
