Episode 7: Kintsugi as a Family & a Visit to Noah’s Ark (Snacktivity)

Ear Snacks Bytes: Toenails!

Andrew & Polly talk a little bit about toenails. Like, do we need a reason? But here it is... we have been thinking about toenails a lot since Dr. Earthquakes (Elizabeth Cochran) shared a super-fun fact with us: the San Andreas Fault moves about 2-inches per year, which is the same rate as your nails grow. WHA!?!? For more information about Ear Snacks or to be on the show, visit earsnacks.org.

Episode 6: Cracks

What do you do when something cracks? Everett (from South Africa), Henry & Saul, Jackson & Beanie and Ainsley tell Andrew & Polly about things that break. Elizabeth Cochran (aka Dr. Earthquakes!) from the USGS talks seismology & L.A. Everett shares about how he cracked the bones in his arm. Some things crack by design - like eggs!

Episode 3: Puzzles

Andrew & Polly talk to some real puzzlemasters - Devin, Westley, Bela, Lane & Lucy - about what it feels like to be puzzled. Matthew Inabinett, paleontologist-in-training at the Beneski Museum of Natural History, helps us piece together how dinosaurs, birds and continental drift are all part of the same puzzle. Kids can go bananas when there's not enough for them to do but meltdown in an entirely different way when they are overwhelmed. Confusion is a really natural thing for kids to encounter.
