In this episode, we are going to learn about one of our favourite birds—the Canada goose! We’ll learn how these birds communicate, why they fly in a V-formation, and what makes them such devoted parents. Plus, we’ll discover why some geese travel thousands of kilometres while others stay put and how their growing presence can sometimes lead to conflicts with humans. Whether soaring through the skies or waddling through city parks, we think Canada geese are very cool!

In this episode, we explore a big and important topic climate change! We break down the difference between weather and climate, uncover how human activities are driving rapid warming, and explain the greenhouse effect. We also discuss how climate change is affecting our planet and, most importantly, what we can do to help. From using less energy to planting trees, even small actions can make a big difference. 🌱💡

In this episode, we are going to start to learn about the ocean, its origin, ocean life, and its importance. We might learn a few fun facts, too. In previous episodes, we learned a lot about animals in the ocean, waves, and weather, but somehow, we haven't taken the time to sit down and learn about the ocean as a whole.

In this episode, we’ll learn how animals survive the cold of winter. We’ll discover that animals use three strategies to make it through: hibernation, where they slow down and sleep through the cold; migration, where they travel long distances to find warmth and food; and adaptation, where they change their behavior or appearance to thrive in freezing temperatures. Whether it’s a bear snoozing in its den, geese flying south, or a snowshoe hare blending into the snow, we’ll explore the amazing ways animals face the chill of winter. ❄️🐻🦢🐇

In this episode, we'll dive into the fascinating science behind video games. We'll explore how they'll tap into physics, applying Newton’s laws of motion and projectile motion. We'll see how chemistry plays a role, especially when characters mix elements to concoct new potions. The focus will also shift to biology, reflecting on ecosystems and character evolution that mirror our world. We'll peek at the programming and AI that bring other characters to life in these games. And we won't overlook the psychology and math woven into the gameplay. Plus, we'll take a glimpse at alien eyes and the creation of stars.

We will discuss the water cycle and how important snow is for the water supply in many places. We will look at The Science of Snowflakes and discuss how they are created and how each is unique. We will examine how the temperature influences the design of the snowflake. We will answer questions including why reindeer’s antlers fall off, how raindrops are made, how many people are on the earth, and why Neptune looks darker than Uranus.
