Matter Compilation

Maybe you'd like to just hear about one topic for a while. We understand. So today, let's just watch some videos about Matter. What is matter? What are particles? And why is this important to know? Did you know that coal can turn into diamonds? Or that some materials don't behave the way we think they should? In this compilation, Sabrina helps us understand some of these things.

What's Matter?

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

Material World

So, we know what materials are, but can we make new materials? Or improve the materials we already have? In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina shows us how Material Scientists are working on these two things today. Also, your cell phone holds the answer.

What's My Property

What exactly can we tell about an unknown substance by it's properties. We already know that a substance is matter that’s made of one kind of atom or molecule, and that has specific properties and that some substances are elements, which means they can’t be broken down into other substances through physical changes or chemical reactions. We also know that we can group substances and elements by their properties like we found that all of the metal things from the bottom of my backpack were shiny and attracted to a magnet. So metals have high reflectivity and magnetivity. What else do we know about metals?

Matter and Materials

Chemical Reactions

This video defines what a chemical reaction is and explains how chemical reactions obey the law of conservation of matter. Students will see real world examples of chemical reactions and come to understand that no matter is created or destroyed in a chemical reaction and that all the atoms in the reactants must be in the products. Viewers will also learn how chemical reactions are shown through the use of chemical formulas.

Changes of State

Learn the basics about changes of state as part of the solids, liquids and gases topic within properties of matter.

Fizzy Baking Soda Reaction

Fun, fizzy baking soda reaction. All you need is food colouring, water, bicarbonate of soda and vinegar

Signs of Chemical Reactions

Through real world examples, students will come to understand that chemical reactions cause reactants to undergo changes, so the products have different properties.  Viewers will learn about single displacement and double displacement reactions, synthesis and decomposition reactions and combustion reactions

Physical Science : Motion And Gravity

Physical Science for Kids is the fun way to learn important facts about physical science and get ready for tests. Take a fascinating journey to the Super Science Station to learn about motion and gravity.

Danger! Falling Objects

So, what would happen if you dropped a hammer and a feather at the same time, from the same height? Well, the hammer would hit the ground first, right? But why? You might think it's because the hammer is heavier, or has more mass than the feather. But it's actually not because of that at all. In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina shows us that the rate at which things fall to Earth has to do with something called air resistance... oh, and we take a trip to the moon.

Defining Gravity

So, if gravity pulls everything down, then why don't things on the bottom of the Earth get pulled down into space? In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina talks about gravity and explains that when we talk about gravity pulling things down, what we really mean is gravity is pulling things TOWARD the Earth. Really, it's all about attraction. This first series is based on 5th grade science. We're super excited and hope you enjoy Crash Course Kids!

Down to Earth

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!

Planetary Plants

So we know what life needs here to work, and we've talked a little about what life COULD look like on other planets. But what about plant life? What could plant life look like on other planets? In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina chats to us just about that.

Measure Photosynthesis with Floating Leaves

Did you know that the oxygen you breathe is produced by plants during photosynthesis?  This video shows how you can do an experiment called the floating leaf disk assay to see photosynthesis in action. Can you spot the oxygen bubbles that make the plant leaves float?

Plant Nutrition

Where do plants get their food from? Remember they are autotrophic, plants make their own food through the process of photosynthesis. In order to make all of the macromolecules, the plant needs to obtain some other elements from the soil. For example, Nitrogen is needed to make protein. As you know Nitrogen is needed to make protein, so without this element the plant will have stunted growth.

Who Needs Dirt?

So... do plants need dirt? The truth might shock you. In this episode of Crash Course kids, Sabrina talks about how plants get energy and how that energy is transported around them. Also, she talks about dirt.

Photosynthesis

The Dirt on Decomposers

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!

Fabulous Food Chains

Everyone eats, right? But how does that food get the energy to power you? In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina talks about the way energy moves, or flows, through an ecosystem and how that movement forms Food Chains! This first series is based on 5th grade science. We're super excited and hope you enjoy Crash Course Kids!

Food Chain

This live-action video program is about the term food chain. The program is designed to reinforce and support a student's comprehension and retention of the term food chain through use of video footage, photographs, diagrams and colorful, animated graphics and labels. Viewers will see and hear the term food chain used in a variety of contexts providing students with a model for how to appropriately use the word. Related words are also used and reinforced with visuals and text.

Food Chains & Food Webs

A food chain is a single path, which help us to work out who eats whom in a habitat, in order to get the energy and materials required for nutrition. Typically food chains involve around four steps. It is unusual for them to be longer because energy is lost between each step and so the energy available for the next organism decreases. Altering one link in a food web has big consequences for the whole system.

Food Chains

Assess student understanding and identify their next steps with ease by utilizing ready-to-ask questions to ensure they confidently build upon prior learning and knowledge so they’re ready and confident for Middle School Science.

Geosphere, Biosphere, Hydrosphere and Atmosphere

The Basics of Freshwater

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!

Rachel Carson's Fight for the Environment

Marine biologist and writer Rachel Carson demanded that the US government take responsibility to protect people and the planet. Her book Silent Spring was a turning point in the modern environmental movement.

Water Fight!

So, what happens when there's not enough water? Well... not good things. Do we let homes have more water for showering and cooking? Or do we let farms have the water for growing crops? There aren't any easy solutions, but today Sabrina chats with us about how water scarcity can cause problems.
