That's right, 7 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 2: it's spring in the northern hemisphere. Look how excited Billy is. 8 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:41,400 Speaker 2: Bluebirds are singing, the yellow bees are buzzing. Beautiful purple 9 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 2: and pink flowers are blooming everywhere, and the trees look 10 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:46,600 Speaker 2: so lush and green. 11 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,560 Speaker 1: It's a great day to go outside and draw. 12 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 2: Yes, that sounds like a great idea. Let's get some 13 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 2: paper and pick some colors to take with us. What 14 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 2: colors do you like? I like blue, the color of 15 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 2: the sky. I like black and white, the colors of me. 16 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 1: I don't know. I like teas lots of different colors 17 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:12,119 Speaker 1: in my art. 18 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,760 Speaker 2: Colors are amazing. They can even mean different things. A 19 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,759 Speaker 2: good example is the colors of a traffic. 20 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: Lightoh, recould draw a traffic light with our colors. Do 21 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 1: you know what green on a traffic light means? 22 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 2: Go? Yes? 23 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:31,399 Speaker 1: What about red? 24 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 2: Stop? That's right, elliot. You can also express feelings with color. 25 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 2: What does it mean When you're feeling blue? 26 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: It means you're sad. 27 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 2: In fact, colors are everywhere and they each have meanings attached. 28 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 2: Red can also signal attention or danger. If you paint, 29 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 2: you can use a specific color to express your emotions. 30 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 2: What did you draw, Cawie, It's the same bright and yellow. 31 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:12,359 Speaker 2: Yellow often expresses happiness and warmth, and today. 32 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:13,640 Speaker 1: The sun is shining. 33 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 2: Spring usually has nice weather and brings so many colors 34 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 2: with it, which is why International Color Day is celebrated 35 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:23,679 Speaker 2: on the twenty. 36 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:24,360 Speaker 1: First of March. 37 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 2: Why well, the twenty first of March is known as 38 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 2: the first day of Spring. This day follows a very 39 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 2: special event that happens every year. It's called an equinox. 40 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: Chicken pox. No, not chicken pox, slelly sad, definitely not 41 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: smelly socks. The word is e quick knox. 42 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 2: Oohoooo. Here's a fun fact about it. It comes from 43 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 2: two very old and interesting Latin words. The first part 44 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 2: is equi. Can you guess what it means? 45 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: It sounds like the words equal. 46 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 2: Yes, that's right, cowie. Equi comes from the word that 47 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 2: means equal or same. The second part, knox, means night Wow. 48 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 2: Equal nights. It makes sense because on the first day 49 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,639 Speaker 2: of spring, the hours of nighttime are about the same 50 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 2: or equal as the hours of daylight. 51 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 1: Pretty cool. 52 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 2: Right during the equinox, the sun is lined up perfectly 53 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 2: with the line that goes around the middle of the 54 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 2: Earth called the equator. It's an imaginary line, which means 55 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 2: it's not really there only on maps. 56 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: Woak. 57 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 2: You can think of it kind of like a belt 58 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 2: around the Earth. 59 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: How funny. During the equinox, the middle part of the 60 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: world is getting most of the sunlight, and the other 61 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: parts of the world, the north and south, are getting 62 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 1: less sunlight, but about equal to each other. Wow. From 63 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: that moment, the days are becoming longer and longer in 64 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 1: the northern hemisphere and shorter and shorter in the southern hemisphere. 65 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 1: So where would you rather be today? 66 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 2: Not sure? 67 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: That was a tricky question. 68 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 2: Every season is beautiful and you can find fantastic colors 69 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 2: in any part of the world.
