Last Week: Greenland
Celebrate Indigenous People’s Day in Greenland with The Children’s Hour! Join us as we head to the world’s biggest island. Nearly entirely covered in sheets of ice and glaciers, and is home to tens of thousands of people. We meet children’s author Naja Lund Aparico, and with her, we explore the island’s economy, animals, and government. With its own language, specialty foods, and culture, Greenland is a lot more than just a frozen landscape. Comes with a learning guide!
This Week: The Heart
Explore the human heart and how it works with pediatric cardiac anesthesiologist Dr. Sally Vender. The miraculous muscle never stops beating, needing no conscious effort, but it does take effort to keep it healthy and strong. Learn how the heart works, why the heart never fatigues, and what makes the heart race when we’re exercising or nervous, and slow down when we’re sleeping. Comes with a learning guide and activities to learn even more.
Next Week: How Elections Work
When a country needs new leadership, it’s time for an election. This time on The Children’s Hour, we’re joined by Ballotpedia to learn everything we can about elections. From local school boards, to voting for our national representatives, adults make choices that impact kids. We wanted to know the path a ballot takes from the voter to the final outcome. Comes with a learning guide for elementary and middle school kids to learn the language of elections.
