What do kangaroos, koalas, opossums, and wombats have in common? They are all marsupials! In this educational video for kids, we are going to learn some wonderfully wild facts about marsupials.   In case you need a bit of a review, marsupials are a super special type of mammal that has a pouch on its belly, or sometimes on its back if it is a burrowing animal like a wombat. This pouch is called a marsupium and keeps a baby marsupial warm and safe as it grows.   Marsupials come in all shapes and sizes, from the tiny planigale to the huge red kangaroo. The one thing all of these animals have in common? The females carry their babies in their pouches, and some male marsupials have pouches too! There are around 330 marsupial species alive today.   We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about marsupials!

Have you ever watched a sunrise or sunset and wondered why they happen? Well, you are in luck! In this video for kids, we are going to talk more about sunrises and sunsets, and the science behind them!   First, let’s talk a little bit about the relationship between the Sun and the Earth. The Sun is the only star in our solar system, and gives off heat, provides energy for living things, and can use used to provide solar polar for electricity. The Sun stays in the same position at the center of the solar system. The Earth rotates, or spins, around the Sun on its axis, which is the imaginary point where the Earth spins. Kind of like when you spin a basketball on your fingertip. Your finger is the axis!   The Earth makes one complete turn on its axis every 24 hours. It turns toward the east. This is why the sun “rises” in the east, and then moves across the sky to “set” in the west. But does the Sun really move across the sky? Nope! The movement of the Earth is what causes the Sun to appe

Have you ever woken up in the morning and thought, “Whoa, I just had a pretty wild dream?” Or maybe you think you will remember your dream when you are fully awake, and then totally forget! In this educational video for kids, we are going to talk about why we dream, along with some interesting facts about sleep.   Let’s start off with one of those interesting facts. Would you be surprised to learn that sleeping takes up about one-third of your day? Here’s a real life example: if you sleep about 8 hours per day and live to be 90 years old, you will have spent about 30 of those years sleeping! Whoa!   Sleep is super important to your overall health, because it helps your body and brain rest. Have you noticed that when you don’t get enough sleep you might feel grumpy and tired? Maybe you even have more of a temper. Those things don’t feel very good, do they? A good night’s sleep means you feel better physically, emotionally, and mentally. On the other hand, a lack of sleep can negatively

Have you ever seen an eclipse before? Eclipses happen when one celestial body moves into the shadow of another. And there are two types of eclipses that can be observed from Earth: solar eclipses and lunar eclipses. Let’s learn more about them together in this educational video for kids!   An eclipse requires three objects to be in alignment with each other. This is called sy+zy+gy. There are two ways an eclipse can happen. The first is when one object goes in front of the other. The second is when one object casts a shadow over the other. Remember how there are two types of eclipses that we can see from Earth?   We will talk about each one and use an example as we go!   We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about eclipses!
