So, have you ever wondered why some stars are brighter than others? You might think it's because they're closer to us, but that's not the whole story. In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina chats about how stars glow and how astronomers judge their brightness. Also, she talks about a really, really, really big star. 

This first series is based on 5th-grade science. We're super excited and hope you enjoy Crash Course Kids!

///Standards Used in This Video///
5-ESS1-1. Support an argument that differences in the apparent brightness of the sun compared to other stars is due to their relative distances from Earth. [Assessment Boundary: Assessment is limited to relative distances, not sizes, of stars. Assessment does not include other factors that affect apparent brightness (such as stellar masses, age, stage).]

Glow On: Crash Course Kids #20.2

Hey... what's matter?

No no no, not what's THE matter. What's MATTER? In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina talks about what matter is and the three states of matter: Solid, Liquid, and Gas. She also does a quick experiment that you can do at home to prove that air is matter.

What's Matter? - Crash Course Kids #3.1

Last time we put a polar bear in the desert and we still feel bad about that, but there's a lot more going on in ecosystems than just temperature. In fact, there are so many elements in ecosystems, that if just one leaves or gets out of whack, it can be terrible for the whole thing. But today, let's talk about spider monkeys!

Food Webs: Crash Course Kids #21.2

Ever wonder why we have seasons? A lot of people think it's because the Earth gets further away from the sun in winter, and closer in the summer. But, it's actually more interesting than that. In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina talks about how the Earth's tilt is responsible for Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall.

Earth Sciences

Weathering and Erosion: Crash Course Kids #10.2

Have you ever wondered if there is anyone (or anything) else out there in the universe? Well, you're not alone. But what would alien life look like? And what would their food chains and food webs look like? In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina gives us some ideas about what we might find out there... some day.

Life on Other Planets

So, what is the Ecliptic? Well, it has to do with the Zodiac constellations and our sun and how they move in relation to one another. It's kind of cool! In this episode, Sabrina chats about this imaginary line called the Ecliptic and its cycle in the sky.

The Ecliptic

The world changes. It really does! But sometimes it changes so slowly that we don't notice it. Other times it changes REALLY FAST!!! In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina talks about some of the reasons things can change quickly or slowly. This first series is based on 5th grade science. We're super excited and hope you enjoy Crash Course Kids!

A Change of Scenery

Plants are amazing. Really! Photosynthesis is an incredible thing. But it also means that some plants can't live everywhere. They need to get the right amount of sunlight for the right amount of time. In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina chats about how the tilt of the Earth makes for both prime and not-so-prime growing conditions for things like pineapples. This first series is based on 5th grade science. We're super excited and hope you enjoy Crash Course Kids!

Why No Polar Pineapples

So, why doesn't the moon just crash into the Earth? And why doesn't the Earth crash into the Sun? What are orbits exactly and why do they happen? Well, it has to do with gravity and velocity. In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina talks to us about how these things work and why we don't need to worry about the moon colliding with us.

Everything Revolves Around You

Want a Pineapple? If you want a pineapple, it's possible you can just run down to the store and get one. But, if you wanted to grow one, that's a lot more difficult depending on where you live. In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina talks about how humans get the resources we need to survive, even though those resources may come from a long way away. This first series is based on 5th grade science. We're super excited and hope you enjoy Crash Course Kids!

How to Get Resources - Picky Pineapples

Water travels... a lot. In fact, the water cycle is amazing and takes water all over the planet by using evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina shows us how the water cycle works and how you can create a mini water cycle right in your own kitchen!

The Great Aqua Adventure

Down here, on Earth, if you look up at the night sky, it seems like all the stars up there look the same. Or maybe at least similar. But, it turns out that stars are very different and we shouldn't stereotype them. Some are bigger, some burn through their hydrogen faster, some are one color, and some are another color. In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina chats about their difference and tells us what those differences mean.

Star Personalities

How would a Polar Bear do if you put it in the desert? Not well. But why? Why can't anything live anywhere? Well, this has to do with Habitats and how animals (including humans) are suited for living in one place over another. In this episode, Sabrina talks about how these Habitats form Food Webs and how those Food Webs help us understand a lot about the world. This first series is based on 5th grade science.

Home Sweet Habitat: Crash Course Kids

Last week we went up up up a mountain. Well, today we're going down down down into the ocean to see what habitats await us there. Yep, the ocean has layers and the types of things we encounter there change the deeper we go.

The Life Hydrologic

We've talked about food chains and how energy moves through an ecosystem, but let's take a step back and see how everything starts... and ends. Decomposers! This first series is based on 5th grade science. We're super excited and hope you enjoy Crash Course Kids!

The Dirt on Decomposers

How does climate change? And what happens to environments and ecosystems when it does? In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina shows us the effects that climate change can have and how one small change in an ecosystem can throw everything off.

Climate Change

So we have Weather and Climate... but are they the same thing? No, no they are not. But they are both super important to how the geosphere is shaped. In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina chats with us about the differences between Weather and Climate.

Weather vs. Climate

Quick, think of three words to describe yourself. TIME'S UP! What did you think of? Chances are you thought of descriptive words that we call Properties. In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina talks about how properties help us understand objects. This first series is based on 5th grade science. We're super excited and hope you enjoy Crash Course Kids!

Wood, Water, and Properties

Remember pre-school? If not, IT WAS SO MUCH EASIER! But when you were stacking blocks and figuring out which block went into which shaped hole, you were learning about properties. In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina talks about what properties are and how we can measure them to tell us more about an object. This first series is based on 5th grade science. We're super excited and hope you enjoy Crash Course Kids!

Hunting for Properties

So you know what a star is, right? Well, if you don't, you should. We've talked about that big one in the sky a few times: The Sun! But there are a lot of bright dots in the night sky and not all of them are stars. Today, let's play a game of 'Star or Not a Star' to learn a little more about everything that's up there. This first series is based on 5th grade science. We're super excited and hope you enjoy Crash Course Kids!

Seeing Stars

Robots! They're everywhere. We use them for all kinds of things that we can't, or don't want to do. In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina shares a problem with us that can probably be solved by building an awesome robot. So let's take the robot challenge!

The Robot Challenge

Remember Sol, the closest star to Earth? We like to call it The Sun and we haven't talked about it in a little while. One interesting thing about the energy we get from the sun is that it's not absorbed the same way by different materials. In fact, even at the beach you can do a nice little investigation that shows this very well. In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina chats about how the properties of land and water differ enough for absorption and reflection. This first series is based on 5th grade science. We're super excited and hope you enjoy Crash Course Kids!

Land and Water

So, how are people fixing their water problems? In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina talks about a few different examples how some freshwater sources were good, then bad, then made good again. Also, Sabrina talks about parasites, fish, and dams! 

A Fresh Future

We have a lot of water on Earth, but we also can't actually drink much of it... or use it for farming. That's because most of the water on Earth is saltwater. We humans, like a lot of living things, need freshwater to survive. In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina talks about the difference between freshwater and saltwater and why freshwater is so important. This first series is based on 5th grade science. We're super excited and hope you enjoy Crash Course Kids!

The Basics of Freshwater

Welcome to Crash Course Kids. In this first episode, Sabrina takes a look at why all living things need to eat. Plus, she shows you a way to investigate why all living things need to eat. This first series is based on 5th grade science. We're super excited and hope you enjoy Crash Course Kids!

Gotta Eat

In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina talks about why things on the bottom of the Earth, don't just fall off into space. Plus... PENGUINS! This first series is based on 5th grade science. We're super excited and hope you enjoy Crash Course Kids! 

Down to Earth

It's the end of this first year of Crash Course Kids and we've learned so many things. In this episode, Sabrina takes us on a tour of some of the ideas we've talked about and how they fit into our lives. Also, what all of these ideas mean for our future.

The End Is Only The Beginning

So, what happens to normal stuff (like water) when it goes to not so normal places? What happens if you take a glass of water to the top of Mt. Everest? Or Space? In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina shows us how matter is affected by different pressures and how that make water do some weird things.
