Kids Learning Tube

46 episodes

Animated sing-alongs, most two to five minutes, that set a factual list to a tune so it sticks. The geography run walks continent by continent and adds the five oceans, the fifty states and their capitals. The space run does the eight planets in order and explains why Pluto got reclassified, a handy example of scientists changing their minds when the evidence changes. Elsewhere: photosynthesis, arthropods, how tornadoes and hurricanes form, the heart and circulatory system, the brain and nervous system, and a toothbrushing reminder for the youngest. Reference material more than story, so reach for it as a unit anchor or a morning warm-up.
