Last Week: ICKY - A Radio Musical
Written and presented by The Children’s Hour Radio Players, hear ICKY A Radio Musical. Comes with a Learning Guide!
Way back in the days before the end of The Big Sick, students everywhere were forced to stare at computer screens featuring live video feeds of their classmates.
With the help (and the subconscious musings) of a dreamer named Halley, a team of super heroes discover that unity and togetherness can get them through any sicky situation.
This Week: Space Junk
Humans pollute everywhere we go, even space! Next time on The Children’s Hour, we learn about space junk and its aftermath with space anthropologist Dr. Alice Gorman. We’ll explore the consequences of polluting our upper stratosphere, find out what the Kessler Effect is and discover what the plan is for cleaning it up the trash. This episode has activities, vocabulary, links and more in our learning guide.
Next Week: Black Footed Ferret
This week we explore a creature that used to live throughout the mountain west United States, the elusive black footed ferret. Once declared extinct, the highly endangered specialist predator may make a comeback in the North American prairie thanks in part to our guest, Paul Marinari, Senior Curator at the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute at the National Zoo. Find a learning guide and activities for this black footed ferret podcast for kids.
