(bell ringing) (fast paced upbeat music) (air whooshing) - Hello and welcome to My name is Tabatha Rosproy for today's episode. Learning Across Kansas is a partnership between the Kansas State and the Public Broadcasting System. We hope to bring educational activities into your home while we deal and health issues that In this week's episode, all about the weather. Every day when I get up, I it helps me to know what If I can play outside or The weather seems so magical because a lot of us don't know

Even though we are going to reveal some of those secrets today, is still pretty magical. Even some sports teams are First today, we are going as she teaches us about and a fun rainy day activity Then we'll go to the lab of Mrs. Wynn, where she talks to us about the wind and how it works. Let's go! (air whooshing) - Oh, Hello, friends. You know, I don't know in your neck of the woods, but here today, it's rainy and kinda gloomy. So on rainy and gloomy days, I like to come into the kitchen, because math and science in the kitchen. So today I've decided My snack is using any blue And that's about it.

But you know a funny thing about water. Water comes in many forms. It comes in a liquid, like in this glass. And ice cube is a solid form And funny thing about steam, when steam rises into the the water droplets start to stick together and come down to the So let's assemble our yummy snack. My recipe calls for one and one cup of cold water. Which of these cups would help me measure the volume of exactly one cup of water? That's right, the measuring Let's get started. (fast paced upbeat music) And now we wait.

Friends I am so excited because And now our snack is almost ready. So our gelatin that once was a liquid it's now ready to add our toppings to. I am so excited. So I've got some whipped and then you know my favorite When the sun starts to come out and you can see a rainbow. So I'm gonna top this with some rainbows and now I'm ready to enjoy my snack. What things can you do on a rainy day? Hope to see you again soon. (air whooshing) - Whoa! That Kansas wind. That's something we're I wonder about wind, I Before we can understand

We have to learn a little and a little bit about density. Let's take a closer look I have a green wooden bead, It stays on the surface of the water. We say that it floats. When I take a penny and It goes clear to the bottom. We say that it sinks. Why does the green wooden bead float? Because it's molecules are farther apart and less dense than the water. Why does the penny sink? Because its molecules and it is more dense than the water. Let's look at density a little bit closer. Right now I have two cups I have a vial of hot water Let's see how they interact. When I put the vial of hot water

in the room temperature water. That's right, the red is floating to the top. When I take the blue vial of cold water let's see what happens. That's right most of the blue water the cold water is staying in the vial or sinking to the bottom. Why does that happen? Because warm water is less dense than room temperature water. Cold water is more dense So hot water rises and cold water sinks. Now that we have learned about the density of different how can we apply that to air? Well, gases and liquids So we can infer that hot air rises, and cool air sinks to the ground. So the sun heats the earth,

and the air around the Earth rises. And as it rises and moves, it cools and falls back to the Earth, creating this cycle of which moves the air from place to place. And this cycle that you're is the beginning of your (air whooshing) - Woo man, I just got hit with a big gust of Kansas wind when I went I didn't even see it coming. Thank you, Mrs. Wynn and Mrs. Henwood for teaching us about water and wind. Stay tuned, we've got a message coming up, but I'll be right back - [Narrator] Kansas school for the remainder of the academic year, but school is still in session.

Keeping students engaged during this extraordinary time is critical for their ongoing success. We salute our teachers, who are committed to finish this year strong. We're all ready for our But until that time, Kansas and keep working towards your goals. Together, Kansans can. - Welcome back. One of my favorite things about my day is getting to watch these amazing teachers teach us so many new Next up, we have Mrs. Nobach who is going to teach us a mystery song and teach us about two sounds in music. Then we'll see Mrs. Clark, about observing the and how we can draw those Let's go. (air whooshing) - Hi, boys and girls, this is Mrs. Nobach. Today's show is all about the weather, and I have a mystery song for you.

We're going to find out in our lesson. A couple things that we need to remember as we do our lesson. Nice light singing voice. We're going to find two different sounds in our mystery song. And we're also going to be able to read and show those sounds in music. So the first clue it's about the weather. The second clue is I'm going to sing it for you guys. I want you to listen very closely 'cause you might know what it is. ♪ Loo, loo, loo loo loo ♪ ♪ Loo loo loo loo ♪ ♪ Loo loo loo ♪ Have you heard that song before? I was looking at the I think those mean high sound and the umbrellas below the line. I think that would mean Low sounds would you on high and low with me. ♪ High, low, high high, low, ♪ ♪ High high, low low, high high, low ♪ Very good job boys and girls.

I wonder if we could show If you put your hands on your head. That's high.

And also in in our lesson, we talked about two High and low. And then we also got to read, and show high and low sounds in music. Wonderful job boys and girls, thank you for singing with me. Have a wonderful day.

(air whooshing) - Hello artists you found me. I'm outside creating art today in this beautiful Kansas weather because I wanna make a picture of land. That's called a landscape. Every landscape has what's That's the line between Here you can see my curved horizon line across the top of the hill, below the horizon line or the play set the trees in the fence and above is the sky above the hill. Now it's time for color in our artwork. What color is the Kansas sky? Well, it's not always blue. It depends on the time So artists use a skill called observing to look closely and notice the color and shapes around them. You can use a device to take pictures at different times a day and to observe cloud formations Did you notice how the sky Bright blue today when it's sunny

and has warm colors When an artist is observing, they record their observations you wanna make a sketchbook at home? Take a stack of paper, and you have your own homemade sketchbook. You can record pictures of things that you see around the house, or things that you see on TV or in books. Use these sketches not but as a starting place for I'll finish my artwork with And if I have a paintbrush around, I can add a little water to turn my water based marker into paint. (slow paced upbeat music) Check out these weather artworks from the Metropolitan Museum Eugene Dellacroix observed light coming through clouds This is Autumn Oaks by George Inness and it shows dark storms on the horizon.

And this is Twilight On The Sound by John Frederick Kensett. Don't you love the orange glow of sunset? Now it's your turn to observe weather like Peyton in third grade in St. George who made a sketchbook of Marlowe in Great Bend in kindergarten made a picture of a flood and Leo in second grade made Happy creating artists. (air whooshing) Thank you Mrs. Nobach. And Miss Clark. In my class we know that rainy days are the best for jumping in puddles. While we take our next break, I am going to draw something that shows how the weather where I live. We'll be right back. (slow paced upbeat music) Welcome back.

Here's what I drew in my It is a beautiful sunny And I planted some sunflower Right now they're still pretty small, but soon they will be big Even though it's a beautiful day here. I'm glad I kept my umbrella nearby. Because in the next two and Mrs. Rogers, it's going to be raining. Let's go see. (air whooshing) - Oh, Hey friends, Mrs. Rogers here. You got here just in time, Do you hear that sound? Yeah, rain, but not just any kind of rain its raining compound words. (dramatic orchestral music) That's weird, did you hear the sound when I said compound words. (dramatic orchestral music) What's that sound again? What is happening? I'm I in a movie? Anyway, do you know

A compound word is made up of two words that put together make a brand new word, like basket, ball put together makes up the word basketball. Or butter, fly makes the word butterfly. That's right. But watch out. You can't just throw any to work together to make it a compound word. They have to stand alone and make sense. Like the word lightning. Light is a word. But have you ever heard of a ning? Me either? That's because ning meaning is not a word it's a nonsense word. Sorry, lightning. Anyway, compound words, I love and the other word in the other hand and smush them together, like i'm putting together which could get a little messy. Anyway, have you ever heard a compound word rainstorm before? Or seen one? No? Hey, come check it out. Look at all these compound Hey, raindrop is another compound word too rain and drop.

What else do you see? I see a raindrop with a thunderstorm. Thunder and storm Do you see a cute little Hey, that's another one rain and coat. Do you see another compound word? Sunshine that word is Excellent. So friends, are you ready everything you know about compound words? Here's a little game that you can play. You can write one part of a compound word on an index card or a piece of paper. And then you can write and then you could play a Or my favorite, how snowball fight before? Yeah, here's what you can do. Take recycled paper, write Crumple it up, have a set a timer and when the timer goes up, pick find a snowball, open it up, read the compound work and of that compound word I hope you guys have fun with it. Can't wait to see you next time. Bye.

(air whooshing) - It's great to see you back today. I can't wait to share our lesson with you. But I decided that since this week we're talking about weather, we ought to go outside Let's go outside and see Well, we made it outside. But wow, it is certainly Obviously the weather today for us to learn anything. Rather than continue to Let's just go back inside. Well, I'm sure glad that we got in out of that crazy weather outside so that we can talk in here. You know that window reminds me sometimes of how I feel inside of me. Do you ever feel anxious or nervous about something? It's almost as though your and they're blowing all over inside of you and you have a storm brewing up inside. When I have those moments,

I found something that helps me a bit. And I'm gonna teach you today how to make a mindfulness calming I'll show you how you can use it. I take an empty water bottle and I fill it a third of the way full with glycerin or you can use clear liquid glue also. Then I add one tablespoon of glitter, two to three drops of liquid dish soap and that helps to break up the glitter. And then I fill up the rest of the bottle with warm water and I close it up tightly. I also made one here with corn syrup because I had that on hand and I filled it halfway and I added some building You can use any lightweight objects that you have in your home And then make the rest of the bottle just like the other one. Well, here's how you can use When you are feeling anxious or nervous or scared or worried.

Shake that bottle up and watch Just like the emotions are, inside of you. And then set that bottle down and begin to watch that glitter Just like your emotions begin take some deep breaths, watch And think about how those emotions and those anxious thoughts in They don't go away, just like But you do become more become more manageable. Well, I'm sure glad that we were able to get out of that wind today and to learn how to calm those storms that I'm wishing for you a storm free week, and I'll see you again next time. (air whooshing) - Wow, thank you Mrs. Loevenstein. That is a great way to calm down

when you're feeling all stormy inside. And Thank you Mrs. Rogers. I learned a lot about compound words. And it even reminded me of a joke, I know. Do you guys wanna hear it? Okay. What do you call a sparrow in a tornado? A whirly bird? (giggling lightly) That was a good one, wasn't it? We'll be right back. - [Narrator] Hey parents, With Kansas school buildings closed and homes being turned into classrooms parents and caregivers in their students learning. This is a new experience for most of us. So let's show one another a little grace. When you and your students or stressed, take a break. It's really okay. Keeping students interested is the key to success. Remember, you have an entire and teachers to lean on, reach out together Kansans can - There you are, I'm so glad you're back. In our next two segments.

We are going to hear from Mrs. Baugh, who is going to teach us different ways to move our body that are that Kansas has. Then we are going to who is going to teach us in a picture graph and with tally marks. I can't wait. (air whooshing) - [Mrs. Baugh] Hello, everyone. Welcome to movement with Mrs. Baugh. Today we're gonna talk about three different kinds of Tornadoes, thunderstorms and blizzards. You're gonna need some space So please make sure you're or any furniture or anything Otherwise, just get ready. Let's learn with movement. See you soon. Hello everybody. Mrs. Baugh's back with a little for you today. I have a really special guests with me. Her name is Brinley. Brinley, can you say hello. Brinley and I are going

with you today that are different kinds of weather Okay, so the first one is a thunderstorm. A thunderstorm is loud and noisy, the clouds are rolling, So we're gonna do some shoulder rolls. So like the clouds roll, ready Brin? One, join us, two, three, eight, nine, 10. Good job. Make sure you're doing these with us. Next, we're going to talk about a tornado. Tornadoes can be scary. So it's important that you if there's one approaching. Tornadoes are kind of something that happens in Kansas a lot. Another word for a tornado is a twister. So we're gonna do a twister dance. You're gonna do it with us. Keep your tummy tight ready Brin? Woo, twist!

We're twisting our All right, another one I wanna talk about in the winter in Kansas. Sometimes we have things called blizzards. Blizzards mean snow falls, and the wind blows and So we're gonna run in ready Brin? Let's run. Woah, this one really Good job boys and girls. So today, I hope we help you to remember some different kinds of and some exercises that Have a great day, and Bye. (air whooshing) Hey everybody, welcome back. I know you guys have been learning a lot of amazing things about weather and making observations of the weather. So today, I wanna share with you how we can graph all of those observations or the data that we're collecting

for our weather observations. So I have been observing the weather for about two weeks, and I or pieces of data. So I'm going to put them and a tally chart. So when we have a picture graph, that's when we have each of our data pieces. So I am looking at finding how many windy days, how many snowy days, how many rainy days and So up above is all of my for each day that I recorded the weather. So what I need to do into the category they fit. So first, I'm gonna collect And I'm gonna put them on the sunny line so they'll go all the way across. So now I could see that I have,

one, two, three, four, five sunny days, so then I can write And I just draw little and then to five, I have to cross it. All right now we'll see There's one. And another one. And another one. So when we're putting it in our chart, we wanna line them up so that we can see the difference of each line. So I have, one, two, three windy days. And so with my tally chart, I just make three little lines. All right, and then my snowy there's always some weird So we have one snowy day. And so we just draw one To make you count those, one, two,

two rainy days. So you draw two little tally marks. And then cloudy. And I have, one, two, three cloudy days, so I draw three little lines. So again, my picture graph and my tally chart with each little line, so I can use that. And I can say how many days and we can see from both of we can look at our chart and that would be snowy because there's only one. So I challenge you to watch and make your own chart, tally chart or picture and data for that week. Have fun and thanks for learning with me. (air whooshing)

- Thank you, Mrs. Baugh There really is all kinds and sometimes we get in the same day.
