Last 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.
This Week: Black Footed Ferrets
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.
Next 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!
