Mummies, not Mommies (Mummies in the Morning)

Can Mammoths Roast Marshmallows? (Sunset of the Sabertooth)

In this episode, mother and son Marisa & Tyler talk about life back in the ice age, and contrast it with life in the artic today. They also compare cave bears, woolly mammoths, and sabertooth tigers to today's grizzlies, elephants and tigers (hint: they were way scarier than today's animals!). They learn about cro-magnons, the ancient people who lived during the ice age, and how they used tools such as animal bones to make flutes and sewing needles to help them survive the freezing conditions. If you could draw a picture on a cave wall to tell a story, what would it be?  Are you a snow-eater? Don't eat the yellow snow!

Crocodiles, Piranhas, and Jaguars, Oh My! (Afternoon on the Amazon)

In this episode, mother and son Marisa & Tyler talk about all the different kinds of animals you can find along the Amazon River, from the creepy crawly spiders to the jaguar cubs you definitely shouldn't play with if Mama is nearby. They also discuss predators and food chains, and how half of the bugs in the world haven't been named yet because there are just so many different types of them! If you got to name your own species of insect, what would you call it? Stay dry under the canopy leaves and watch out for piranhas!

Ninjas Don't Say Bless You (Night of the Ninja)

In this episode, mother and son Marisa & Tyler talk about the mythical powers of ninjas and if they really existed, and how people today work on their ninja moves (with lots of practice!). They also discuss samurai and their code of honor, and how it is different from the sneaky ninjas. If you were a ninja, what disguise would you wear?  And remember, guerilla warfare has nothing to do with gorillas!

The Jolly Tyler (Pirates Past Noon)

In this episode, X marks the spot! Mother and son Marisa & Tyler talk about pirate booty, treasure maps, and how many couldn't read back in the time of pirates roaming the seven seas.  They also talk about the meaning of lubber (it might not be what you think!) and where many of the stereotypical pirate tropes come from. If you had a chicken aboard your pirate ship, would you eat it, or keep it for a daily egg? Polly says "Walk the plank!"  Reach out to us at beyondtreehouse@gmail.com Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/ilya-kuznetsov/dawn License code: GE4C9SITNLS3OWZI

Mummies, not Mommies (Mummies in the Morning)

In this episode, mother and son Marisa & Tyler talk about Jack's glasses and different types of vision, and how people back in ancient Egypt did not have such technology.  They also discuss how Egyptians made mummies, and different death traditions today (including cryo-freezing!). Can you say hie-ro-glyph? What precious items would you want to be buried with if you had your own gigantic pyramid?  Reach out to us at beyondtreehouse@gmail.com Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/ilya-kuznetsov/dawn License code: MENDOEYTYGHOB8EN
