We have a lot of water on Earth, but we also can't actually drink much of it... or use it for farming. That's because most of the water on Earth is saltwater. We humans, like a lot of living things, need freshwater to survive. In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina talks about the difference between freshwater and saltwater and why freshwater is so important.

Our brains have an alarm system that works all on its own. …
Our brains have an alarm system that works all on its own. It is called the amygdala, and when the amygdala fires off its alarm system we tend to listen. Which is great if we are actually in a fire, or actually being chased by a large wild animal, or actually our life is indeed in danger! However, for the most part, often our amygdala fires when we are NOT in any real kind of danger. For instance: Talking to a person we don’t know, is NOT life threatening. Ordering a meal in a restaurant, is NOT life threatening. Writing a test, is NOT life threatening. Making eye contact with someone, is NOT life threatening. However, when we have anxiety our brain activates our amygdala and we respond with body sensations and thoughts that make us believe they just might be! The amygdala is a small almond shaped organ in our brain that processes our memory, our decision-making response and our emotional responses. It is part of our nervous system, and all too often it is working over-time. To handle worry and anxiety we need to teach our brain to NOT turn on the alarm system. (The best part about a brain is that it is very capable of changing the way it thinks! This is called neuroplasticity.). We need to tell our brain: - I am willing to feel UNcomfortable. - I am willing to feel unsure and to NOT know what might happen next. - I am willing to use my courage and do what I might not want to do. - I can handle it if things do not go just perfect. - I am okay with NOT knowing how things are going to turn out. By saying this in our mind and by doing this we can change the response our brain makes. It will take time and constant repetition…but it can be accomplished. We can actually make a new neuropathway in our brain so that it no longer ‘fires up panic’ when we do things. It is like making a new walking path across the grass. Eventually, if we stay on the same new path, the old one fills in and a new path begins to appear.

Sign up for a 45 minute virtual field trip, and follow it up with a classroom unit about human rights and being an upstander. The classroom unit includes an inquiry project.
Virtual Field Trip: Students will learn how to be human rights upstanders by discovering the stories of people who used their personal strengths to take a stand to protect their rights and the rights of others, creating change.
Students will: 1. Learn to identify traits all upstanders possess and understand that each of us also possess these traits in our own unique way. 2. Experience exhibits and the inspiring Museum architecture as if they were at the Museum in person. Interact with a Museum guide and ask questions to better understand how they can take action for positive change. 3. Engage in discussion, critical thinking and reflection on their role in the protection of their own rights and the rights of others.
Classroom Unit: The Be an Upstander resource is a project-based learning unit designed to complement the “Be an Upstander” school program. This resource targets students in middle years and encourages inquiry and action on human rights issues. Students will examine the traits of human rights upstanders and follow their example. By the end of the project, students will have had the opportunity to explore an issue they are personally passionate about, share their knowledge and lead others toward action.
The Be an Upstander website is a digital student experience designed to support student learning as part of a larger human rights themed, project-based learning unit. Students developing upstander projects will engage in personal inquiry and action on human rights issues that matter to them. Students will learn about the traits of human rights upstanders, be introduced to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and examine their personal strengths. Following the example of the upstanders they learn about, students will be challenged to take tangible steps to becoming human rights upstanders themselves.
