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.

ASL George Washington Carver

ASL George Washington Carver Teacherflix 1 Views • 1 year ago

Who is George Washington Carver? He wasn't the first President of the United States, even though his name is very similar! In this video, you and your kids will learn about this incredible scientist. You will discover many interesting facts about the history and life of this special man. For instance, George Washington Carver's exact birth date remains a mystery! Because he was born into slavery, his birth records were not kept. And he, one of his sister's, and his mom were kidnapped by Confederate raiders when he was a baby! He was eventually found, however, and returned to the Carver farm where he was born.

Unlike other boys his age, George didn't work in the fields. He was taught how to tend to the kitchen garden. And what a stroke of luck for the world! George learned all about plants and how to improve their health. He was very intelligent and graduated high school at a young age. His passion for plants led him to study botany in college. After graduating, he was asked to teach agriculture at a Tuskegee College.

Throughout his life, he discovered many wonderful things about plants that would end up helping farmers grow larger and healthier crops. These discoveries spread throughout the world. One of the most famous is his realization that growing and harvesting peanuts every other year or so with cotton kept a specific pest away from the crops and yielded healthier soil. Even though many farmers resisted initially, George came up with several inventive uses for peanuts that would make growing peanut crops worthwhile.

George Washington Carver's life work earned him several special nicknames: The Plant Doctor, The Peanut Man, The Farmer's Friend. We celebrate him and his life on January 5, George Washington Carver Recognition Day.

Three Branches of Government | Learn about the executive, legislative, and judicial branches

Three Branches of Government | Learn about the executive, legislative, and judicial branches Teacherflix 1 Views • 1 year ago

Did you know that there are three main parts (or branches) of the U.S. government? It's true! The three branches are the executive, legislative, and judicial. In this Three Branches of Government video for kids, you will learn about the people who work in each branch and how they balance each other out. In fact, one reason we have three branches is in part to ensure there are checks and balances and that no one branch has too much power or control.

The executive branch is the one that the president belongs to. The vice president and the cabinet (a group of people who advise the president) are also part of this branch. The president specifically is the country's leader and can approve or veto laws passed by the legislative branch. The vice president is the second highest executive office in the government. However, this person is also the president or head of the Senate.

Speaking of the Senate, it is one of the houses of Congress. The other is the House of Representatives. These two houses of Congress are responsible for writing, discussing, and voting on laws. The Senate approves the president's appointments to the cabinet, meaning that they have a say in who the president picks for certain jobs. The House of Representatives can override the president's vetoes if they have a large enough majority.

Finally, the judicial branch is where you would find the Supreme Court, a group of nine individuals (eight justices and one chief justice) who oversee the U.S. court system. These individuals have no term limits and can serve as a Supreme Court judge for life. The Supreme Court decides whether something is constitutional or unconstitutional. It also decides which court cases to review and sometimes determine new ways to interpret the law.

We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about the three branches of the U.S. government! If you want even more information, head over to our website and download one of our many free lesson plans about the United States, full of activities, worksheets, and more!

Constellations for Kids | Learn about the types of constellations, their names, and how to find them

Constellations for Kids | Learn about the types of constellations, their names, and how to find them Teacherflix 1 Views • 1 year ago

In this video we learn all about constellations for kids. At night we can see thousands of stars and scientists long ago figured out that the stars line up in recognizable patterns. The patterns form shapes of people, animals, and mythological beings. Early astronomers called these special patterns constellations. Each star in the pattern has a name and is connected to form a different constellation. It is almost like a “connect-the-dots” picture, but instead of using numbers and dots, the twinkling stars are connected to form the special patterns. You have have heard of the Big Dipper, Orions Belt, or Aries, but these are only a few of the constellations there are many more!

Many constellations have their roots in myths. A myth is an ancient story about many different things. Constellation myths are usually stories about gods, heroes and creatures such
as serpents, dragons, flying horses and more. The images related to these myths are formed using connected stars. The Greeks and Romans created the stories for constellations.

In addition to the constellation myths, there are ancient and modern uses of constellations:
1. They helped ancient farmers know when to plant and harvest crops. Constellations can be used as a calendar in the sky.
2. Travelers use them to navigate from one place to another, relying on different stars to guide them on journeys throughout the world.
3. Modern astronomers and star gazers use them to help keep track of specific stars in the sky.
4. Astronomers use them to locate other objects in the sky such as galaxies or nebulae, which are areas where gas and dust are cluttered

We hope you and your kids enjoyed our constellation video and are able to identify some of the major constellations when you look up at the stars at night.

Washington Monument for Kids | Learn the history behind the largest obelisk in the world

Washington Monument for Kids | Learn the history behind the largest obelisk in the world Teacherflix 1 Views • 1 year ago

Have you ever seen, in person or in photographs, the giant obelisk in Washington, DC? This tall building at the opposite end of the reflection pool in front of the Lincoln Memorial has quite a bit of history behind it. Named after George Washington, the monument was designed by Robert Mills following a competition for designs held in 1836 by the Washington Monument Society.

The construction of the monument took place in two phases due to lack of funds, political turmoil, and uncertainty about the survival of the country. No construction took place between 1856 and 1876. During the first phase between 1848 and 1856, they constructed the first 150 feet of the monument, composed of a pile of bluestone gneiss unfinished rubble stones held together by mortar.

The remainder of the monument was constructed between 1876 and 1884. It was composed of finished marble surface stones and partially backed by finished granite stones. The difference in the shading of the monument can be seen where the construction was halted and later resumed with the marble from a different source.

Surrounding the monument on the outside perimeter are fifty American flags flying 24 hours a day on a large circle of flagpoles centered on the monument. In 2011, an earthquake in the area slightly damaged the monument with over 150 cracks. Most of the damage occurred in the pyramid section at the top. Speaking of the pyramid top, the monument was originally going to have a flat top instead.

Dinosaurs for Kids | Learn about Dinosaur History, Fossils, Dinosaur Extinction and more!

Dinosaurs for Kids | Learn about Dinosaur History, Fossils, Dinosaur Extinction and more! Teacherflix 1 Views • 1 year ago

Dinosaurs for Kids is a fun and comprehensive look at dinosaur history. In this video we highlight the various kinds of dinosaurs, talk about how they receive their names, famous dinosaur fossils, and we talk about the people who find dinosaur fossils: Paleontologists.

We think that one of the most fascinating creatures to ever roam the Earth was the dinosaur. You most likely have heard of dinosaurs, seen pictures of them on TV or the Internet, or may have seen their bones in a museum. Dinosaurs are an interesting group of animals that no longer exist, meaning they are extinct. Dinosaurs evolved, meaning they changed, over millions of years.

In this dinosaur for kids video we also talk about how the dinosaurs’ extinction took place about 66 million years ago and 75% of all life on Earth died. There are many theories or guesses as to what may have happened leading to the extinction. They include worldwide volcanic eruptions, changes in the Earth’s climate, or perhaps a meteorite from space smashing into the Earth.

Alzheimer's Disease for Kids | What is Alzheimer’s disease? | Causes, symptoms, and prevention

Alzheimer's Disease for Kids | What is Alzheimer’s disease? | Causes, symptoms, and prevention Teacherflix 1 Views • 1 year ago

What is Alzheimer's Disease and what causes it? In this video designed for elementary learning we explore those questions and help gain a deeper understanding of this disease. Many of us know someone who has been affected by dementia or Alzheimers and if not many of us might in the future. We hope this video helps students gain a better understanding of the disease, its causes, symptoms, and some prevention techniques.

Alzheimer's Disease is a type of dementia that causes problems with memory, thinking, and behavior. Dementia is a set of symptoms that may include memory loss and difficulties with thinking, problem-solving, or language. Alzheimer’s Disease is the most common cause of dementia.

Alzheimer's Symptoms: As a person ages, they may forget things. It is normal. However, one of the symptoms of AD is consistent memory loss, especially of recent events and new information. This is the most noticeable trait of Alzheimer’s, it usually occurs gradually at first, but gets worse over time.

Alzheimer's Prevention Ideas: As you learn, your brain is constantly making connections, and one way that might help prevent Alzheimer’s as you get older is to produce new connections. You can do this by staying active, mentally and physically. This also apples to adult family members or friends who do not have AD. Encourage them to be active too.

ASL Periodic Table of Elements for Kids

ASL Periodic Table of Elements for Kids Teacherflix 1 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!
