Last Week: The Sun
The Kids Crew explores the Sun with scientists from the Sunspot Solar Observatory. Learn how the Sun gives us light and heat, how it helps plants grow, and how experts study it safely. Find out why sunspots are essential to understand, and how they impact planet Earth. This episode also shares the story of the sudden and permanent closure at the observatory.
This Week: Squid
This time on The Children’s Hour, we learn about squid with Skype A Scientist, Dr. Sarah McAnulty. These ubiquitous creatures are the psychedelic acrobats of the ocean with their bioluminescence, inky camouflage, and ever-changing patterns on their skin. Squid are also a favorite food of many marine and land animals, including humans! Comes with a new and improved learning guide.
Next Week: Dad
Celebrate dads for Father’s Day with a musical special. Hear some of our favorite Kindie artists with their tributes to Dad, plus we have music from a ghanaian rapper, a love song to Dad sung in Cree, and many more. As we think about our fathers, we remember the important role they play in our families, and our lives with their nurturing, love, and care. Happy Father’s Day to all the dads from all of us on The Children’s Hour.
