Charles Dickens and a Christmas Carol

Snow begins high in the clouds when tiny water droplets freeze around dust particles. As more water vapor freezes onto these particles, they grow into crystals. The temperature and humidity shape each crystal into a unique snowflake. Most snowflakes have six sides because of the way water molecules connect. When many crystals stick together, they become the soft flakes we see falling from the sky. Discover the science behind winter’s most magical creation.

The Magic of Snow and Snowflakes

The Adventures of Davy Crockett

Crayons have helped kids make colorful drawings for more than 100 years. Early crayons were made from simple wax and pigments, but they broke easily and weren’t very safe. In 1903, the Crayola company created the first safe, long-lasting crayons for children, starting with only eight colors. Schools quickly adopted them because they were clean, easy to use, and fun! Over the years, Crayola added hundreds of new colors with creative names. Learn how crayons were invented, how they’re made, and why they became one of the most popular art tools in the world.

Colorful History of Crayons

When winter arrives, many animals enter a deep sleep called hibernation to survive the cold. During hibernation, their heartbeat and breathing slow down, and they use very little energy. Bears, bats, and groundhogs are famous hibernators, but even some frogs and snakes do it too! Before winter, they eat lots of food to build fat that keeps them warm. Learn how animals prepare for hibernation, what happens to their bodies while they rest, and why this amazing survival skill helps them live through freezing months.

Sleeping Through the Winter: Hibernation

Pizza is one of the world’s favorite foods, but it has a long history. Long ago, ancient Greeks and Romans ate flatbreads topped with oil and herbs. The modern pizza began in Naples, Italy, where people added tomatoes—once thought to be poisonous! By the 1800s, pizza was a popular street food for workers. When Italian immigrants came to the United States, they brought pizza with them. Soon, pizzerias opened in big cities, and pizza spread across the country. Today, pizza comes in many styles and flavors, but it all began with simple flatbread and fresh ingredients.

The Story of Pizza

Crocodiles and alligators are large reptiles that have lived on Earth since the time of the dinosaurs. They both have tough, scaly skin, sharp teeth, and strong jaws for catching food like fish, birds, and mammals. Crocodiles and alligators are excellent swimmers and can hide in the water with only their eyes and nostrils showing. Even though they look alike, they are not the same animal. Alligators usually live in freshwater, while many crocodiles can live in saltwater. This video explores where they live, what they eat, and how they survive as top predators in their environments.
