Here are some suggested questions to answer after you watch the mini-lesson:

1. How do we know the Earth is round?

Bonus Activity: The Earth is round, like a basketball. So is the Moon. Look around your home for things that are round or rounded—like oranges or eggs or marbles. What other shapes do you see around you? Squares? Triangles? Draw three things that are different shapes. How many round things can you find? How many square things? How many triangle things? Are some things made by putting together different shapes? What is the most common shape?

Bonus Activity: Some penguins stand in the snow for months while waiting for their eggs to hatch. To keep the eggs warm, penguins hold them on their feet—even when walking around! Give it a try! Use a roll of toilet paper as your penguin egg. Find something to hold on to, like a wall or a couch. Tip your feet so you’re standing on your heels, like a penguin. Put the “egg” on your feet. Now waddle like a penguin! How far can you go before dropping the “egg”? Challenge your friends to beat your record.

1. What's at the bottom of the ocean?

2. What did this lesson make you curious about? What other questions do you have about the ocean?

Bonus Activity: To explore the bottom of the ocean, scientists needed a special submarine that the water couldn’t crush. Think of a place you’d like to explore. Maybe you want to go inside a volcano. Or visit the top of a mountain. Or tour the surface of the Moon. What equipment would you need to get to your chosen spot? What would you need to stay safe while you’re there? Describe or draw a picture of your ideas.

Here are some suggested questions to answer after you watch the mini-lesson:

1. What was the first cartoon?

2. What did this lesson make you curious about? What other questions do you have about cartoons?

Bonus Activity: The first cartoons told stories using only pictures. They had no words at all. Think of a story that you can tell using only pictures. It can be a story you’ve heard—like "Cinderella" or "The Three Little Pigs." Or it can be your own story. What pictures could you use to tell the story? Draw your pictures in a cartoon strip, where each picture is in a box. Show it to a friend. Can they tell your story from the pictures you drew?
