Sign up today on patreon.com/kidslearninglab. Now, time for this episode. We’ll talk about the Olympics. [TRANSITION] Have you heard of the Olympics? They just finished the 2024 Summer Olympics. Olympics are where you can compete in a sport to earn gold, silver, or bronze medals for your country. The country with the most medals wins. You might have heard it because of your parents, who are probably talking about the Olympics. The Olympics go waaaaaay back. The first recorded Olympics was in 776 BCE. BCE means “Before the Common Era”. It means that many years negative. For example, 776 BCE means the year -776 or you can say 776 years before the year 0. CE means “Common Era”. It means that many years positive. For example, 2024 CE means the year 2024 or you can say 2024 years after the year 0. Now that we’ve learned about BCE and CE, imagine how long ago 776 BCE was! The first games were in Olympia, in Europe. But in the year 393 CE, a Roman emperor shut down the Olympics because he thought they were bad. The Olympics were started again in modern times, when people wanted to compete. Now you can represent your favorite team in the Olympics! Time for some fun facts now: 1. In the Olympics, since it started in Greece, a torch is lit there and an international relay race takes place to get to the country where the Olympics is every year. 2. The Olympics is in a different place each year. This year, it was in Paris, and in 2028 it will be in Los Angeles. 3. Tug of war used to be a sport in the Olympics. 4. Art used to be in the Olympics. 5. Until 1912, the Olympics used to hand out full gold medals, made of actual gold! They soon realized it was too expensive, and now the medals are just dipped in gold, and made of metal. 6. Hot air ballooning was a sport! 7. In 776 BCE, the Olympics used to hand out olive-branch crowns instead of medals. That was a fun episode! I hope you enjoyed it!

Check it out today! Now, time for this episode. In this episode, we’re going to talk about the bloodstream, or as some call it, the circulatory system. [TRANSITION-2] Your heart is like the engine of your circulatory system. Your heart pumps blood through small rivers called arteries and veins. Your muscles need oxygen. Blood is like a shipping container that holds oxygen. Arteries go from your lungs to your muscles. Arteries bring blood that has oxygen to your muscles. Muscles trade blood for carbon dioxide. That’s why you breathe oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide! [short pause] Veins take the carbon dioxide blood and bring it to your lungs. The heart powers all of this by pumping the blood. When veins with empty blood reach the lungs, the lungs give oxygen to the blood. Then, the blood travels through arteries since they have oxygen. Now, let’s talk about blood cells. Red blood cells are the shipping containers. They contain oxygen. White blood cells are the body’s army. They eat up any viruses or sicknesses in your blood. The reason you cough and get a fever is the result of the white blood cells fighting. Platelets are little cells that act like band-aids. Have you ever gotten hurt and then the spot dried up? That is a scab. Scabs contain platelets. The platelets cover up the spot so viruses and diseases can’t get it. It’s like when the walls of your body’s castle breaks because of an injury, the soldiers quickly put up a wall. Platelets are the bricks the soldiers use to cover up the hole. Time for fun facts! 1. Throughout your life, your heart will probably pump 2.5 billion times! 2. If the blood cells in your blood were stacked one on top of another, it would reach 12% to the moon! That’s 6,200 times the height of Mount Everest and 516 times the distance to space. 3. Bones make blood! 4. Your bloodstream is 60,000 miles long! That’s 1/4 of the way to the moon! Thanks for listening! I hope you enjoyed this episode. The next one is going to be about the Olympics! [END SCRIPT]

Transcript (From Script) Who wants to play a game about chocolate? Do you? If you do, check out the Kids Learning Lab website and look at the home page. You can’t miss it! Our website is at kidslearninglab.weebly.com. Now, time for today’s episode, which might be one of your favorites, dinosaurs. How do we know dinosaurs existed? Well, that’s all because of fossils. Fossils are the dead bodies of the dinosaurs that we can dig up. From there we can make guesses about what the dinosaur did. For example, if the dinosaur’s teeth were flat and big, we would guess it was a vegetarian. Dinosaurs who ate veggies usually had flat teeth that were strong for chomping up plants. Meat-eating dinosaurs usually had sharp, pointy teeth. They needed these for either eating other dinosaurs or eating small animals. Now, I have a question for you. Do you know how the dinosaurs went extinct? Hint: extinct means not existing anymore. Some of you might know the answer. If you don’t that’s okay! A lot of people are still wondering how it happened, but they do have some ideas. Idea 1: A meteor hit Earth off the coast of Mexico and created so much smoke that the sun was covered. Before we talk about this, I just thought of a fun fact. Did you know every type of energy came from the sun? Plants need light from the sun, and a lot of people eat plants. Even if you eat meat, those animals still had to eat plants which got energy from the sun. Windmills and wind turbines still get energy from the sun, believe it or not. Wind is actually what happens when hot air rises up and cold air takes its place. Hot stuff always rises. And the reason the hot air is hot is because of the sun. Solar panels get energy from the sun, and water power is still going because of rain, which is also powered by the sun. You can check out our Water Cycle episode, our Solar System episode, our Comet episode, our Moon episode, our Aurora episode, and our Gravity episode for more on that. Okay, back to the idea that a meteor hit Earth and created smoke to block the sun. This is an idea that 70-90% of people believe. A meteoroid is a piece of rock that is flying through outer space. When it enters our atmosphere, it is a meteor. Usually, the rocks burn up here. Sometimes, the rocks survive, and land on our surface, and are called meteorites. This specific meteorite contained iridium and when it landed, lots of ash and smoke covered the sun. Remember like 45 seconds ago, when we were talking about how every energy is from the sun? Well, all of the dinosaurs’ energy was also from the sun. So, they died. Idea 2: A volcano. Some people (5-10%) say that the smoke and ash still was present, but it was from a volcano, not a meteor. This could be possible, since scientists have found a large field full of ash and igneous rock in West India. (Check out our Rock Cycle episode for more on types of rock.) Anyways, this field could mean a volcano wiped out the dinosaurs. Idea 3: A disease Very few people (1-2%) believe it was a disease that killed the dinosaurs. There is very few evidence about this, but it could be possible. If you don’t know what a disease is, it’s when a species, for example dinosaurs, get sick because of these tiny little germs in your body. Thanks for listening to this episode of Kids Learning Lab!

Here's an episode transcript, created by Apple Podcasts: “Welcome to Kids Learning Lab, a learning podcast made just for kids. In this episode, we'll be talking about climate change. Do you know what climate change is? Climate change is happening everywhere. Climate change happens because of air pollution. Air pollution is what happens when big companies burn wood and quote to get energy. The smoke coming from the burning goes up in the air. Climate change also harms animals in the arctic. For example, take the polar bear. Polar bears need to catch food from ice. The smoke melts the ice so the polar bears can't eat anything. There are also some ways you can help to fight against climate change. You should recycle whenever you can, use a reusable water bottle, and if you have old paper you don't need anymore, you can use it for something new, like a paper airplane, or you can recycle it. When you are recycling, make sure to put recyclables in the correct bin. Use a laptop instead of a large PC. Put on a sweater if you are feeling cold. Don't turn up the heater. Overall, climate change is horrible for the earth. According to the United Nations, climate change is lots of changes in temperature and weather. These shifts may be natural, but since the 1800s, humans have been the main source of climate change, mostly because of burning fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas. Also, according to NASA, global warming is the heating of Earth's surface since 1850 due to human activity, mostly fossil fuel burning, which increases bad gases in Earth's atmosphere. The gases are like blankets. The fluffy gas blankets stop the heat from going back out. More and more heat comes from the sun and gets trapped in the atmosphere. This causes a lot of climate change. That's it, thanks for listening.” From Kids Learning Lab!: What is climate change? - Refreshed, Jul 5, 2024 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/what-is-climate-change-reintroduced/id1657069274?i=1000661217636 This material may be protected by copyright. © Copyright 2024 Eshaan Buddhisagar.

In this starry episode, we’ll be learning about eclipses, including the Great North American Total Solar Eclipse, which happened throughout the US and parts of Mexico on April 8. Here, in the description, I have a few fun links for you.

In this episode, we'll be talking about eclipses. The reason I got the idea for this episode was because of the great North American solar eclipse, which some of you living in the US and Mexico might have seen. It was on Monday, April 8th, about a month ago. Even if you didn't see an eclipse, you can still learn about eclipses. If you don't know what an eclipse is, we'll learn today. An eclipse is when a star's light is blocked from an object because of an another object. In a solar eclipse, like the one on April 8th, the moon slowly looks like it bites the sun until it totally covers the sun. When it covers the sun, it's called totality. The path of totality is“like an imaginary line on a map in which you can see the total solar eclipse. If you're outside the line, but still close to the shadow, you can see the partial solar eclipse, like I did. That's when the moon bites the sun, but not fully. So only a small portion of the sun is hidden. During a solar eclipse, the sky turns dark, even when it's the middle of the day. This is because the moon casts a shadow on Earth, blocking the sun's light. Animals don't know what's happening, so I think it's night. In a lunar eclipse, that's when the Earth casts a shadow on the moon. Earth's atmosphere blocks the sunlight, and only lets some light particles pass. And those light particles are red, so that makes the moon look red. Some people call this a blood moon, but don't be scared. It's just a scattering of light, and nothing to be afraid of." “Now, this may seem a little confusing, but if you look at the pictures of the description, you'll understand. The umbra is the area where the shadow is. The penumbra is where the shadow is lighter. That's when you see a partial eclipse. Now, it's time for a tough quiz. Good luck! Number one, what happens in a solar eclipse? Number two, why does a moon turn red in a lunar eclipse? Three, why does a moon turn red in a lunar eclipse? Here are the answers. Number one, what happens in the solar eclipse? The answer is the sun's light on the earth is blocked by the moon. Number two, why does the moon turn red in the lunar eclipse? The answer to that is because our atmosphere scatters the red light. Make sure to check out the links in the description. There's even a video of the solar eclipse you can watch.
