Programming Highlights
NOVA | Why Sharks Attack
NOVA teams up with leading shark experts in Australia and the United States to discover the science behind the great white’s hunting instincts. Do sharks ever target humans, or is each attack a tragic case of mistaken identity? Will analyzing the hunting instincts of this endangered predator reduce deadly attacks?
History Detectives | Korean War Letter
Rhonda never met her father, Ron Bradley. The U.S. counts Bradley among the more than 8,000 soldiers declared Missing In Action during the Korean War. Rhonda only knows her father from letters and photos her mother saved for her. She is searching for clues in one particular letter.
Ancient Skies | Finding the Center
See how our concept of the earth takes shape in the minds of great astronomers and scientists including Ptolemy, Copernicus and Galileo.
At-Home Learning Tips
Make the Days Special
Every child’s learning style is different, and as you find your new “normal” at home, you may see that structured schedules are not for everyone. Instead, try making a calendar with at least one new event listed on each day. Calendars teach important math skills like measuring time in different units such as days, weeks and months. Seeing what is coming up in the week may help restless kids have something to look forward to. Find more tips to make each day a little special.
