Wildcats for Kids | Learn about this interesting group of cats Learn Bright 2024-02-27 | What's the difference between a wildcat and a wild cat? Well, you could probably say you own a wild cat as a pet because of its crazy personality. But yours would not be considered a wildcat. In this video, you and your kids will learn interesting facts about a group of species that scientists call wildcats, such as tigers, lions, jaguars, cheetahs, and leopards. Wildcats are carnivorous, so they eat a lot of meat. They have excellent eyesight and hearing to help them find and capture their prey. Their diet includes antelopes, rabbits, giraffes, and even reptiles for some of them. Wildcats that live near human settlements often prey on poultry like ducks and geese.These majestic animals are part of every culture and can be found on the oldest of cave drawings. They are often the face of companies and sports teams as mascots. Sadly, lots of wildcat species are endangered, and many others are vulnerable or near threatened. Their populations are declining because of habitat loss. Sometimes, habitat loss happens naturally, but in most cases, it's because of the increased use of land by humans for homes, buildings, and roads.We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about these cool cats!

History of Valentines Day for Kids | Learn the origin of the holiday of love! Learn Bright 2024-02-14 | Did you know that the origin of Valentine's Day is still a mystery? In History of Valentine's Day for Kids, we'll talk about some of those theories. Historians think it began over 4,000 years ago, but they still can't agree on the person the holiday is named after. Luckily, they have narrowed it down to just a few options.English poet Geoffrey Chaucer referenced Valentine's Day in one of his poems, so some historians credit him for starting the tradition of Valentine's Day as a romantic holiday. And sending cards might be credited to Charles, Duke of Orléans, who may or may not have sent a love poem to his wife while he was imprisoned.The invention of the printing press made it easier for people to send valentines. Around this time, an artist named Esther Howland started a company that produced Valentine's Day cards. She became known as the Mother of the American Valentine. Today, about 145 million valentines are produced each year. And over 8 billion candies are made and over 250 million roses are grown every year for the holiday of love.We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about where this fun holiday actually came from!

Learn some quick facts about dinosaur history while you rap the words with us! Here are the lyrics so you can follow along:The Mesozoic Era was millions of years agoWith varieties of reptiles calling the earth home.Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous—Three geological times will convey this.What's a species that can run, fly, and be scaly,Jump and even roar and do these things daily?Some are long, short, but all start as babies.There are some dino dudes and some dino ladies.Let's take it back to a land before time,Where reptiles were big, small, or medium-sized.They loved to roll in packs or even fly.Some were so majestic, but some would horrify.Brontosauruses were long from head to tail.Ankylosauruses were spiny, short, with hard shells.Velociraptors ran at these speeds or more.Iguanadons walked on two legs or four.Some had sharp teeth for tearing meat;Some ground their food with wide flat teeth.Brachiosauruses were tall and ate their lunch up high.Microraptors looked low for their food supply.We wanted to name a few, so we made a list . . .. . . And it goes like this:Aptosaurus DiplodocusIguanodonLambeosaurusVelociraptorStegosaurusMicroraptorTyrannosaurus Rex Their large bodies needed a lot of food.There are three major types that we will include.Stegosauruses liked their meals to be green.As herbivores, they loved to munch on leaves.The omnivores were not picky at all.Fruit, seeds, and animals that were small.The Tyrannosaurus rex, which was the most vicious—They're carnivorous, meaning animals were delicious.Dinosaur babies were hatched from eggs.Hatchlings had wings and some had legs. Dinosaur families found safety in numbersWhether they were awake or as they slumbered.They traveled in packs or even roamed alone.That's what the unearthing of fossils and what bones have shown.These ancient lizards are a thing of the past.A special kind of scientist was able to trace their paths.A paleontologist studies the fossils and bonesTo determine if their feet had claws or toes.Robert Plot found the first dino bone.He thought it was from a human and he hadn't known.It's interesting to study these reptile giants.It's important to our history and also to science.These creatures were incredibly unique.Their habitat was destroyed, and now they're extinct.We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about dinosaurs in a fun way!

Penguins for Kids | Learn all about this unique bird Learn Bright 2024-02-08 | What do you know about penguins? You probably know they can't fly and instead swim effortlessly in water. (In fact, they can swim up to 25 miles an hour!) In Penguins for Kids, you'll learn a lot more cool facts about these unique birds! For one, not all of them live in cold places, as in Antarctica. Some actually live in warmer climates off the coast of Ecuador!The majority of penguins are between one and four feet tall and have the iconic black backs and white bellies. This coloring gives off an effect called countershading that helps them avoid predators. They eat small fishes, squid, and other ocean animals. But it doesn't matter what these meals taste like because penguins have no sense of taste! Scientists examined their DNA and learned that no penguins can taste sweet, bitter, or umami flavors.Right now, penguins struggle to battle climate change, overfishing, and water pollution. They have to deal with habitat destruction and new predators, too. Their food supply starts to dwindle, which means they have to swim further and further out to find food. This can be dangerous for them. Some species, like the yellow-eyed penguin, are in danger of extinction. There are only about 4,000 left.We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about these interesting birds!

Condors are large black birds with triangular patches of white on the underside of its wings. They have the largest wingspan of any North American birds.

The females a little smaller, but not by too much. These birds weigh about 20 pounds! The head and neck of a condor are bald, which is an adaptation for hygiene. When they're high in the sky, the UV rays of the sun disinfects their skin. This makes them resistant to disease and infection! Depending on the bird's mood, its skin color ranges in color. Plus, the changing skin color is a way for them to communicate with other condors.Wild condors can travel up to 150 miles a day for food. They eat carrion, which is the decaying carcass of a dead animal. They prefer large animals like horses, cows, and mountain lions. But they aren't too picky. They will feast on smaller animals if they need to. Given that their meal is dead, you would think it would smell really bad.

Lincoln Memorial for Kids | Learn about the history and legacy of this monument Learn Bright 2024-01-18 | What is a memorial? In Lincoln Memorial for Kids, your students will learn the history surrounding this famous structure. Memorials or monuments (like statues) represent something unique to everyone who sees them. Monuments have meaning and significance to the people who visit them. Although there are thousands of monuments across the United States, many of the most famous monuments are in our nation’s capital—Washington, DC.One of the most famous monuments in the US is the Lincoln Memorial. Abraham Lincoln is a true American success story. He was the son of a poor farmer who lived on the frontier. He read books that he borrowed after long days working on the farm. But eventually, in 1837, Lincoln worked hard enough to earn a law degree. In 1846, he was elected to the House of Representatives. His calm demeanor and willingness to compromise helped heal the war-torn nation and reunite the North and South into one country. Unfortunately, Lincoln was assassinated in April of 1865, in the middle of his second presidential term. Congress began work to create a memorial to remember his patriotism two years after his death. In March of 1867, Congress created a commission to design and build the memorial. It would be another 43 years—1910—before Congress would pass a bill that allowed work to begin on the Lincoln Memorial! It took another 12 years to complete the project from the day of the design and construction. In 1922, President Harding and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Robert Taft officially accepted the memorial on behalf of the American people.Ironically, although many African Americans were invited and attended the event, they were moved to a segregated area near the monument. The very people Lincoln had fought so strongly to free still faced racial discrimination nearly 60 years after the Civil War ended in 1865.We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about this famous monument!

Financial Literacy—Calculating Interest | Learn an easy way to calculate interest Learn Bright 2024-01-09 | Part of becoming financially literate is understanding how to calculate interest. In this video, your kids or students will learn what exactly interest is and how they can calculate it. Interest is an amount of money that you either pay or earn. Whether you pay or earn depends on the situation. If you borrow money, you have to pay interest. If you save money at a bank, you will earn interest.There are a few terms you should be familiar with. The principal is the amount of money you start with that you are borrowing or spending. Another term to know is rate. The rate is the percentage you are charged (if borrowing money from a bank/company) or paid (if saving money in a bank). You will be able to use the rate and principal to determine the interest using an equation: Interest = Principal x Rate x Time (years).The video goes through a helpful example scenario to walk you through calculating interest when saving money at a bank. In this case, Frankie Finance is starting with $200. The rate will be 0.15. Based on the equation, Frankie will earn $30 dollars per year in interest.

Hawks for Kids | Learn interesting facts about this apex predator Learn Bright 2023-12-05 | Did you know that hawks are the most common birds of prey? In this video, you and your kids will learn lots of interesting facts about the hawk. For instance, even though they are similar to eagles and buzzards, only 50 kinds of true hawks exist. These beautiful birds build large nest in the tops of trees, on cliff peaks, and even on cactuses. Most species have long tails and short rounded wings so they can fly fast and low through areas full of trees and bushes.Hawks are quite intelligent birds, too. They use sticks and stones as tools to catch insects to eat if they cannot find any other prey. Because hawks are birds of prey, they hunt and kill animals for food. And they truly are fierce hunters. They can see their prey from high up in the sky because of their incredible eyesight. In fact, they have the best eyesight of any animal in the animal kingdom! Once they spot their food, they will dive down and scoop up the animal.Imagine flying through the air at 150 miles per hour. That's how fast hawks are! When it's mating season, the male hawks will do lots of tricks in the air to attract a mate. Once they find their mate, hawks stay together forever. Baby hawks are called ayes (pronounced just like eyes). When they are about 50 days old, they leave the nest to fend for themselves.We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about these beautiful birds!

Absolute Value for 6th Grade | Learn how to solve absolute value equations Learn Bright 2023-11-28 | Do you know how to figure out the absolute value of a number? In this video, you'll learn just that. It can be a tricky concept at first, but once you get it, it's super easy! Absolute value is basically determined by its distance from zero on a number line. And every single number has one except for zero, since zero is value-less.Absolute values are written in two straight lines. For comparison, other expressions are in brackets or parentheses. But those two straight lines means absolute value. In addition, the placement of the negative sign is very important. If the negative symbol is inside the absolutely value lines, the you are figuring out the absolute value of a negative number. For instance, the absolute value of -5 is 5 because -5 is five away from zero.On the other hand, if the negative sign is outside the absolute value lines, then you need to add it after you figure out the absolute value expression. For instance, –|6| is –6. Here's a trickier one: The expression – |7 – 9| becomes – |–2|, which becomes –|2|, which is –2. Watch the video for more examples, and to learn how you can apply absolute value in real life.We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about absolute value!

Butterflies for Kids | Learn about the diet, habitat, and behaviors of butterflies Learn Bright 2023-11-09 | Did you know that there are over 20,000 species of butterfly living throughout the world? In Butterflies for Kids, you and your students will learn lots of interesting facts about these lovely bugs. Speaking of lovely, butterflies actually have two types of coloration: pigmented and structural. And some species have ultraviolet patterns that we humans can't even see!Butterflies eat lots of things some of which you likely wouldn't expect. They have a long tongue called a proboscis that they use to slurp up juices and nectar and tree sap. But butterflies also eat aphids, drink from mud puddles, and consume rotting or dead matter! And believe it or not, they've only got a few taste buds on their "tongue" because most of their taste buds are on their feet.Butterflies are essential to the environment. Along with other pollinators, they help pollinate plants and increase biodiversity. Scientists can also study them to learn about the health of a particular ecosystem. Because of habitat loss, the populations of various butterfly species are on the decline. In addition, climate change has also caused butterflies to struggle. Unpredictable temps lead to unpredictable hatching times, which can be disastrous for caterpillars.We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about these beautiful insects!

History of Halloween for Kids | Learn where Halloween originated Learn Bright 2023-10-26 | When you think of Halloween, do you ever think of Ireland? Well, turns out, most of our Halloween traditions, including the name, come from the Celts! Dressing up in disguises is all thanks to the Samhein festival. Even our tradition of pumpkin carving originated from an Irish folk tale. Halloween is one of the oldest traditions in world history and comes from the Celts. It marked the end of summer and beginning of fall/winter season. That's why it's celebrated in the fall. The Celts passed down their history and culture orally, meaning they didn't write any of it down. Druids, or Celtic priests, were the ones responsible for passing it on to the next generation.The Celts believed people transitions from physically living on Earth to living in a spiritual world when they died. During the Samhein festival, the Celts would stock up on supplies for the winter and welcome guests from the afterlife. If spirits appeared that had been wronged by a living person, the living person would disguise themselves with masks or with ashes from a fire. This was called guising, and it's where the word disguise comes from!

Vitamins and Minerals for Kids | Learn the difference and why theyre important Learn Bright 2023-10-17 | What exactly are vitamins and minerals? Many people think these two substances are the same, but they are not. But they are both important to keep our bodies strong and healthy. Vitamins are organic substances, meaning that plants and animals produce them. Minerals are inorganic and come from the soil and water. Then they are absorbed by plants or eaten by animals.Vitamins are divided into two categories—fat soluble or water soluble. Which category a vitamin falls into depends on whether it dissolves best in fats or in water. The fat-soluble vitamins can be stored in the body, but the water-soluble vitamins need to dissolve in water before the body can absorb them. In addition, the body can’t store water-soluble vitamins. For this reason, we need a fresh supply of water-soluble vitamins each day.When it comes to minerals, our bodies cannot break down or change them. Minerals can, however, form part of the structure of bones, teeth, nails, muscles, and red blood cells. There are several minerals the body needs. Calcium is one of the most common minerals. Our bodies need calcium to build and protect bones and teeth, support our muscles, and help with blood clots and nerves.

Financial Literacy—Checking and Savings Accounts | Learn the differences! Learn Bright 2023-09-26 | What is the difference between a checking and savings account? In Financial Literacy—Checking and Savings Accounts, your students will learn the basics behind these two accounts and how to manage them. For instance, they will learn that they can transfer money from one to the other and vice versa.Checking accounts allow us to use debit cards. This means that we can pay with our debit cards, and the money will come out of the checking account. This way, we don't have to go get the money from the bank every time we need to use it. Savings accounts, on the other hand, do not have cards to use. They do, however, gain interest. Interest in additional money that grows over time according to how much money is in the account.Speaking of money in the account, that number is the balance. Whenever we spend money from our checking account, the balance goes down. When we add money, the balance increases. The same is true for savings accounts as well. When we add money, the balance goes up, and taking money out of savings brings the balance down.The great thing about these bank accounts is that they can be linked. If you need to put more money into your checking account, you can move it from your savings to your checking. This is helpful if you need to buy something but don't have quite enough to pay for it in your checking account. And of course, you can move money from checking to savings too. The more money in your savings account, the higher the interest!We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about these important skills!

Earliest Peoples in America | Learn about the first people to inhabit the Americas! Learn Bright 2023-09-19 | When did people first start to inhabit North America? Try 27,000 years ago! In Earliest Peoples in America, your kids will learn about some of the history surrounding the people who first stepped foot on this continent. The first thing they'll learn is that the earth was much, much colder then because it was in the middle of an ice age.Asia and North America used to be connected by the Beringia land bridge. But once the ice melted as the earth warmed up 10,000 years ago, the people could no longer migrate. The earliest humans were hunter-gatherers. This means they hunted for food and ate wild plants they found. The people eventually became much less nomadic and started to settle in specific areas in tribes.The people passed on their traditions and culture from generation to generation. Sadly, once the Europeans started to colonize America, a lot of that culture was lost. Archaeologists have studied the artifacts left behind from thousands of years ago to learn more and more about these early peoples and what their lives might have been like.We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about what life might have been like for people 27,000 years ago!

Bats for Kids | Learn cool facts about bats Learn Bright 2023-09-14 | Did you know that bats are the only mammals that fly? It's true! Many people mistake bats for birds for this very reason. Believe it or not, bats are more closely related to humans than they are to birds. They don't have feathers; instead, they have fur in various colors. They have fingers and thumbs just as we do!There are over a thousand bat species. Some of them are very small, but some are so large that their wing spans are 5 feet wide! Their wings are pretty unique. They are made of a thin skin-like material that connects all their fingers and thumb to their feet. And despite what people think, bats have excellent eyesight and hearing.Some bats eat other animals, like small birds, reptiles, mice, or even other bats. But most bats just stick to an insect diet. In fact, small bats about the size of an adult thumb can eat 4-8 grams of insects every night. That may not seem like much, but even if only a million bats ate that many insects, it equates to a thousand metric tons every single night!We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about this exciting unique mammal!

ASL Natural Disasters for Kids Learn Bright 2023-09-05 | Can you name five natural disasters? How about ten? Twenty? Natural Disasters for Kids discusses quite a few of these crazy storms. It specifically discusses ten of the most common and what causes them to occur. In addition, you'll learn a few things you can do to get ready for a natural disaster in your area.The most common type of natural disaster in the U.S. is flooding. Nearly 90% of all disasters actually involve flooding in some way. Floods can result from tropical storms, hurricanes, extreme rains, or even thawing snow. On the opposite end of the spectrum is a drought. When an area experiences a drought, it means that there is intense heat and an extreme lack of precipitation. Droughts can kill plants and reduce freshwater supply.Another common natural disaster is the tsunami. Tsunamis are rare in the United States. These large ocean waves that form after an earthquake happens end up flooding coastal land. Hurricanes similarly produce excessive rainfall and often a lot of flooding. Wind speeds during a hurricane can reach up to 150 miles an hour! Still, the worst wind storm would be a tornado, with speeds up to 300 miles per hour.Luckily, there are things we can do to help get ready for these storms. These are the three Ps: plan, prepare, and practice. It always helps to have a plan that outlines what you should do in case a natural disaster occurs. Then it's important to prepare by gathering necessary supplies. And like practicing for a fire drill at school, it's a good idea to practice the plan you made and ensure it works.We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about these common storms!

Importance of Oceans for Kids | Learn why Earths oceans are so significant Learn Bright 2023-08-31 | Did you know that over 8 million metric tons of plastic end up in the ocean each year? In our Importance of Oceans for Kids video, we discuss why it's so essential to take care of the water that covers our beautiful earth. In fact, seawater makes up two-thirds of our planet! Most of that water flows in the five interconnected oceans. And this water provides us with so many important benefits.The ocean is vital to our planet because it produces over half of the world's oxygen supply. It also absorbs 50 times more carbon that the atmosphere. We can also turn to the ocean for food, transportation, and recreation. When it comes to food supply, we are talking about more than just fish. Did you know that ingredients in peanut butter and soymilk are also found in the ocean? In addition, the ocean helps regulate weather patterns, creates employment opportunities, and provides ingredients for medicines.Ocean mining and plastic pollution are two major problems for our oceans. Ocean mining produces plumes of sediment that blanket sections of the ocean floor. It chokes filter-feeding species and the fish swimming amidst the debris and destroys habitats. Plastic is a major concern because it doesn't decompose. The constant movement in the water simply breaks it down into smaller pieces called microplastics. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is a collection of debris between Hawai'i and California that is twice the size of Texas. This floating mass of plastic is estimated to be 80,000 tons.We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about the world's beautiful ocean!

Think of a train junction where a road meets train tracks. Conjunctions do the same things in language.Coordinating conjunctions are the ones you might be the most familiar with. These are the words like and, but, and or. A common acronym people use to remember the seven coordinating conjunctions is FANBOYS: for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so. If you can remember that acronym, it will really easy to remember the coordinating conjunctions!Another type of conjunction is the correlative. To correlate means to compare or relate. These conjunctions are used in pairs to combine alternative or equal elements. Examples of correlative conjunctions include either/or, if/then, and not only/but also. Subordinating conjunctions are the last type. These are words or phrases that connect dependent clauses to independent clauses. You can also use subordinating conjunctions to introduce adverb clauses.We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning how to identify different types of conjunctions!

They breathe air, give live birth to their young, nurse their babies with milk, have hair at some point, and are warm-blooded.Did you know that dolphins are actually part of the larger group of animals called whales? (And did you know the killer whale is a species of dolphin?) Dolphins come in different colors, like black, white, or grey. Their skin is smooth and rubbery, like a bar of slippery soap. They have a flipper on either side of their body and a triangular-shaped fin on their backs. Dolphins look a lot like porpoises, so people often confuse the two.Generally, dolphins live in groups called pods that usually range from 2 to 30 dolphins. During mating season, they form superpods that can have hundreds of dolphins! How do they keep track of each other? Well, one really interesting fact about dolphins is that they have names. Each dolphin is given a unique whistle right after their birth. They learn their whistle from their mother.We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about this intelligent marine mammal!

Galileo Galilei is often associated with telescopes, the universe, and being imprisoned for his discoveries. In Galileo Galilei for Kids, you will learn a lot more about this amazing scientist and mathematician and his inventions and scientific discoveries.Galileo was the oldest of six kids. Galileo studied medicine in college and later switched to mathematics. However, he ran out of money and had to drop out. This setback didn't stop him from continuing to study on his own time. He supported himself by teaching math and art to others.Around the year 1609, Galileo learned about the telescope. Some people think he invented the tool, but that is not true. He was simply the first to use it (or use the one he built and improved) to study the stars. He discovered that Venus had phases, and he discovered four moons that revolve around Jupiter. These moons are now known as the Galilean Satellites in his honor.Galileo also studied Copernicus's theory that the sun was the center of the universe, and even had evidence to support his theory. This led to his arrest and imprisonment by the Roman Catholic church. The church still taught that Earth was the center of the universe, which Galileo discovered wasn't the case. Despite being told not to teach Copernicus's ideas or beliefs anymore, Galileo continued to do so and was branded a heretic. He was sentenced to life in prison. The church officially apologized for arresting Galileo in 1992, which is 392 years after Galileo's death!We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about Galileo!

American Eagles for Kids | Learn all about the national symbol of the USA Learn Bright 2023-08-17 | Is an American eagle the same as a bald eagle? Why, yes it is! American Eagles for Kids explores interesting facts about this majestic bird. Most people refer to bald eagles as just that—bald eagles. But because it's the national bird of the USA, we tend to call it the American eagle. The word bald in this case comes from an Old English word that meant white and referred to feathers.American eagles fly high in the sky and live near large inland lakes and rivers that have lots and lots of fish. They typically build their nests at the tops of trees, and even enlarge their nests every year. In fact, these nests can be as wide as 10 feet and as heavy as a thousand pounds! This might seem big, but keep in mind that bald eagles are rather large, with up to a 7-foot wing span. They need that room to spread their wings!Bald eagles are essential to the environment. They eat carrion, which helps keep the land clean. Because they are great hunters, they also help balance animal populations. This beautiful bird once came close to extinction in the 1960s and were officially put on the endangered animals list in 1976. However, thanks to many conservation efforts, the American eagle downgraded from the endangered to the threatened list.We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about this special bird!

ASL Farm Animals for Kids Learn Bright 2023-08-15 | Have you ever visited a farm? Or perhaps you live on a farm! Farm Animals for Kids explores facts about some of the animals that live on farms and what they do. You might learn some fun facts along the way that you didn't know before! For instance, did you know So what is a farm, exactly? A farm is an area of land used to grow crops and raise animals to produce food. The animals that live here are different from your average house pet. This is because farm animals usually have important jobs to do to keep the farm running. For instance, many farms have horses that help farmers prepare their crops.One farm animal you're probably very familiar with is the cow. Cows are large and eat about 25 pounds of food per day. That's six to eight times as much as the average adult human! Most dairy farms have more than a thousand cows. These animals produce milk, that farmers can then sell to dairies that produce other dairy products like ice cream and cheese.Chickens are another common farm animal. Some chickens can produce up to 300 eggs a year! Believe it or not, chickens didn't always live in America. But now there are more chickens in the U.S. than there are people! Another animal on the farm is the sheep. Farmers can sheer the sheep's wool once a year that they can then sell to companies that make clothing. Other farm animals include pigs, ducks, donkeys, and rabbits.We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about the importance of farms!

Ocean Facts for Kids | Learn interesting facts about the worlds largest pool! Learn Bright 2023-08-10 | We all know the ocean is huge. But what else do we know? Ocean Facts for Kids offers just a few more interesting facts that you and your kids might not already know. For instance, almost 98% of all the water on the earth is in the ocean. The average depth is 2.3 miles deep. And that's just the average! One of the deepest parts is at the Mariana Trench, which is 36,198 feet deep—almost seven miles!Do you know why there are waves? The most common type of wave is a surface wave. These are the ones we commonly see with the white tips that crash into the shore. These waves are caused by wind blowing across the surface of the ocean. Other waves occur because of gravity. These waves are called tides, which are affected by the moon's location in relation to the earth. And waves can even happen because of underwater explosions from volcanoes beneath the surface of the ocean. These explosions cause tsunamis!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. They also think that two-thirds of those species haven't even been discovered yet! That estimate doesn't include the millions of microorganisms living in the ocean.We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about the world's beautiful ocean!

ASL All about Oceania for Kids Learn Bright 2023-08-09 | Have you ever heard of a region of the world known as Oceania? Oceania for Kids explores the history and some interesting facts about the area. It consists of 10,000 islands and 14 countries in the Pacific Ocean. In fact, Oceania covers around 20 million square miles, which is about a third of the entire Pacific Ocean! However, if you condense it all down to just land area, it is much smaller in comparison, at just under 3.3 million square miles.Historians believe that over 30,000 years ago, humans migrated from Asia to the islands in Oceania. Most think the first immigrants stopped in New Guinea and eventually travelled to the other islands. While the people started with one culture, traveling to other islands led to the development of unique cultures in each place. That makes Oceania one of the most culturally diverse areas on the planet.The video describes a little bit about each of the 14 countries that are part of this beautiful region. For instance, Australia makes up most of the land mass given its massive size as an island. Fiji is made of 332 islands, but only around a third of them are inhabited. Kiribati is the only country in the world that has islands spread across all four hemispheres.Micronesia is home to the world's only ancient city built on a coral reef. The city is called Nan Madol. The country is also home to the largest crabs in the world. Nauru is only eight square miles in area, which is smaller than most cities in the US! Almost half of all dolphin and whale species can be found off the coast of New Zealand. Keep watching to learn more!We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about Oceania!

Graphic Organizers For Kids | Learn some ways to organize information Learn Bright 2023-08-08 | What is a graphic organizer? In this video for kids, your students or kids will learn about several types of graphic organizers that they can use to take notes or organize information. They are likely very familiar with Venn diagrams, which are easy to create and understand. Venn diagrams are an excellent way to compare and contrast information.But what about when you want to simply make connections or show a chain of events or sequence? There are plenty other types of organizers that allow us to evaluate things differently. One is a circle map, which helps you define things. You could write a main idea, such as sharks, and then write what you already know and what new information you learn. Similar to the circle map, another type is a prior knowledge chart. The main topic is in the center. The outer circles can include new information, things you would like to know, or things you already know.Text connects help you better recall information you have read. Chain or sequence of events organizers allow you to show different steps in a process, or the chain of events that lead to a discovery. You can organize them in different ways as well. The last organizer we discuss is main idea and details, which works really well for nonfiction passages. You can write the main ideas from different paragraphs then write out their supporting details.We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about these different ways to organize your notes!

ASL What Is an Adverb? for Kids Learn Bright 2023-08-03 | Using adverbs in sentences is a great way to add description and detail. In What Is an Adverb? for Kids, you and your students will learn all about the role adverbs play in our language. Similar to advertisements that hype up a product, adverbs hype up sentences and give them a little extra kick.Adverbs describe verbs in more detail, providing information on when, where, how, how much, or how often the action takes place. For instance, if you want to sell lemonade in your neighborhood, you might create a banner with the word "LEMONADE" across it. But you are likely to get more customers if you explain the kind of lemonade you are selling. Putting "freshly squeezed lemonade" is more accurate, and more appealing! The word "freshly" is the adverb that describes how you prepared your refreshing drink.As another example, let's look at this sentence: I will read my book. That is a pretty vague statement. When will you read the book? Now let's take a look at this sentence: I will read my book tomorrow. Adding the adverb "tomorrow" provides more detail, makes the statement much more informative. That being said, keep in mind that adverbs can be vague (I will meet up with you later!) as well as specific (I will see you at 3 o'clock tonight!).We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning how to identify adverbs in sentences!

Bison of the West for Kids | Learn all about these special mammals Learn Bright 2023-08-01 | What is the difference between a buffalo and a bison? This video for kids explains that there are no buffalo in the United States (unless you can find one in a zoo, of course). That big brown creature that roams Yellowstone National Park is an American Bison. These mammals certainly look similar to yaks and buffalos and, to some degree, cows. But they are their own species. In fact, the scientific name for a bison is bison bison bison! The diet for a bison consists of only plants. Bison do not eat meat. Primarily, they eat mostly grasses, weeds, and leafy plants. They actually consume around 24 pounds of grass every day. They eat until they are full, then they rest. Then they eat again and rest again. They do this over and over for nine to eleven hours every day! At one point in American history, there were tens of millions of bison roaming North America. Sadly, this massive population was reduced to only 500 animals, almost sealing their fate as extinct. The animals were hunted as a sport or killed for other reasons, even government-encouraged reasons. But President Theodore Roosevelt saved the day for the bison when he realized amazing the land out West was with the bison on it. He and a man named William Hornaday formed the American Bison Society. Because of their efforts, bison now live in all 50 states!We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about this unique beast!
