Episode Magma, volcanoes, and fossils! The incredible rock cycle Cover

Magma, volcanoes, and fossils! The incredible rock cycle

Ever wondered if rocks can melt like cheese, explode out of volcanoes, or travel to the bottom of the ocean? Join Rob, Hank, and special cohost Kenji as we follow the incredible adventure of Walter the Rock through the rock cycle with geoscientist Dr. Lina PĂ©rez-Angel from Brown University and the Geological Society of America. Together, we discover how rocks form, melt into magma, cool into igneous rocks, break into sediments, and transform deep underground over millions of years. âžĄïž This episode is possible thanks to the Geological Society of America âžĄïž Learn more about Dr. Lina’s science communication work with GeoChat: ⁠LINK [https://www.instagram.com/geolchat/ ] Orbit Family Conversation Starters! 1. If you could watch one part of the rock cycle in real life, which would you choose? 2. Why do you think rocks can look and feel so different from each other? 3. What’s the coolest rock or crystal you’ve ever found? Continue learning as a family! * Visit a park, beach, or trail and compare different rocks you find together. * Start a small family rock collection and sort rocks by color, texture, or shape. * Look around your home for granite or marble and talk about how those rocks formed. * Learn more about volcanoes and the rock cycle with books or videos from your library. ❓ Submit questions for upcoming episodes: LINK [https://⁠www.cumbrekids.org/questions] 💖 Support this podcast by joining our Curios Club: ⁠LINK [https://www.cumbrekids.org/curious-club] đŸ‘šâ€đŸ‘©â€đŸ‘§â€đŸ‘Š A message for parents about our values: LINK [⁠⁠⁠https://www.cumbrekids.org/our-values] 🎧 Orbit is produced by Cumbre Kids: ⁠www.cumbrekids.org [https://www.cumbrekids.org]

Episode Whoosh! How fast are flash floods? Cover

Whoosh! How fast are flash floods?

Ever wonder what exactly is a flash flood? Are all floods flash floods? We have a fascinating episode featuring Nichole Cronce, a hydrologist from the National Weather Service. Join Rob, Hank and Sam as we learn not only about the science of floods, but how to stay safe when the storms get strong or the river starts running high! * Episode Extra for middle school: LINK [https://youtu.be/qwVXwFCF3sg] Three questions for families to discuss: 1. How will we know if a flood might happen? 2. Where is a safe place we can go if there is flooding? 3. What should we bring with us to stay safe if we need to leave quickly?

How ultrasound 'sees' inside the body (Cardiac sonographer)

This week, we dive beneath the surface - exploring the human heart not through sight, but through sound. Joined by Victoria Rivera, a cardiac sonographer at Texas Children’s Hospital, we uncover the fascinating world of sonography and echolocation. Discover how sound waves reveal the inner workings of the heart, and get an inside look at one of the most incredible careers in modern medicine. âžĄïž Level-Up Texas: ⁠More Info⁠ [https://youthengagement.tamu.edu/level-up-texas/index.html] âžĄïž Texas Children's Hospital: https://www.texaschildrens.org [https://www.texaschildrens.org] 💬 Submit your kids' questions! ⁠www.cumbrekids.org/questions⁠ [https://www.cumbrekids.org/questions] 💛 Support this podcast by joining The Curious Club: ⁠LINK⁠ [https://www.cumbrekids.org/curious-club] đŸŽ™ïž This episode is available in Spanish on our sister podcast, ⁠CrĂĄneo: Ciencia para niños curiosos⁠ [https://linktr.ee/craneociencia] 🎧 More podcasts by Cumbre Kids: ⁠Learn more⁠ [https://linktr.ee/cumbrekidspods] đŸ‘šâ€đŸ‘©â€đŸ‘§â€đŸ‘Š A message for parents about our values: ⁠LINK [https://bit.ly/3LqBmJv]

Episode Why is it hard to make good choices? (Behavioral Economist) Cover

Why is it hard to make good choices? (Behavioral Economist)

If you *choose* to listen to this episode, you’ll learn all about the science of making decisions! 🧠✹ We’re joined by Dr. Marco Palma from the Texas A&M Human Behavior Laboratory, as we seek to understand how the brain makes decisions, why we sometimes make bad decisions, and the biology of how the body reacts when we’re faced with decisions! This episode is part of the “Cool Jobs for Curious Kids” series, exploring 8 STEM careers and the science behind their jobs! This series is a collaboration with LevelUp Texas, powered by Texas A&M University. âžĄïž Level-Up Texas: More Info [https://youthengagement.tamu.edu/level-up-texas/index.html] âžĄïž Texas A&M Human Behavior Lab: https://hbl.tamu.edu/ [https://hbl.tamu.edu/] 💬 Submit your kids' questions! www.cumbrekids.org/questions [https://www.cumbrekids.org/questions] Episode activities 🕒 10-10-10 decisions! When your family is thinking about a decision, talk about how this decision is going to make you feel in 10 minutes, in 10 days, and in 10 months! For example: “If I practice the piano today, I will probably feel pleased with myself in 10 minutes. In 10 days I might have learned something small and be happy about my progress. And in 10 months I might know several new songs!” 🛒 Grocery Store Economics! Next time you go to a grocery store, talk as a family about where things are in the store. For example: Where is the milk in the store and why? What is at ‘kid’ eye level and what is at ‘adult’ eye level? 💛 Support this podcast by joining The Curious Club: LINK [https://www.cumbrekids.org/curious-club] đŸŽ™ïž This episode is available in Spanish on our sister podcast, CrĂĄneo: Ciencia para niños curiosos [https://linktr.ee/craneociencia] 🎧 More podcasts by Cumbre Kids: Learn more [https://linktr.ee/cumbrekidspods] đŸ‘šâ€đŸ‘©â€đŸ‘§â€đŸ‘Š A message for parents about our values: LINK [https://bit.ly/3LqBmJv]
