Unschooling with Kai

In this first episode of the Radiation series, we talk about all of the cool stuff we've recently learned about radiation. And honestly, there's so much more. What questions do you have?

This is our final episode in the Dust Series! We get down and dusty talking about the facts of the Dust Bowl and dust mites. Also, we've got a whole slew up updates, and a whole slew of questions that will one day become updates!

It's been a minute, but let us regale you in stories and facts about space dust and animals' use or dust baths. Also, we have a few updates to previous episodes. Be on the look out for the next episode soon! YAY!

We get down to the actual why behind house dust and answer the question "What is the purpose of vacuuming if you're just kicking up dust anyway?" Of course, we get into the physics of dust movement which brings up so many more questions and tangents. Enjoy!

Here is our exploration episode trying to nail down what we already know about DUST--one of our current mutual interests. What's cool is we walk away from this conversation with some great questions to lead us into the next episode! Feel free to respond with any comments, questions, or answers!!

We round out our Crows series with this final episode getting into mating and nesting, fledglings and juveniles, group cohesion, migration, mobbing, and our lingering questions. Enjoy!

This is our third edition in the Crows series and we get into conversation about crows' diet, sounds they make, their intelligence, experiments with them and finally, some cool stats.

This is our second episode in the Crow series and we're reporting back what we've researched and learned about their scientific background, a little of their history, some parallels to humans, and a comparison to ravens. Enjoy!

It’s been a while but we’re back in action with an in-depth look at crows. We talk about our experiences seeing and feeding crows, Science Comics, and what we’ve learned so far about these smart corvids. Is there anything else you can add to our knowledge base or any question you want to find the answer to?

Listen in about some of the physics behind what makes the back of the bus bumpier. We talk about the wheelbase, the bounce amplification, and the suspension. Enjoy!

What’s the deal with those little black plastic tire valve caps? Do they actually hold air in the tires? Do you even need them? Find out in this episode of Unschooling With Kai!

After just having witnessed the recent solar eclipse, we started talking about speed and distance and this question popped up. Join us as we jump into some updates from previous episodes and then break down the distances of a light second, light hour, light day, and light year.

When should you use a brush versus a comb? Does it depend on your hair type? Listen in while we try to get this tangle of an episode all straightened out. 🤭

We talk about wax sealing and get a little into the history, the significance of certain wax colors, and the possibility of counterfeiting wax seals. Enjoy!

The short answer? No. And Yes. Tricky, huh? Guess you’ll have to listen to the episode to learn more about the ootheca, the mantid life cycle, and some unrelated updates on pathogens, antigens, and black holes!

We dive into an interesting discussion about the immune system’s role in collateral damage (AKA pain) to our body. We highly recommend you check out Philip Dettmer’s book called Immune or the Kurzgesagt channel to dig deeper into our body’s immune system.

We talk about horse and donkey offspring and what genetically stops them from reproducing!

How about that question? Is it a mouthful? Well the science behind it is not as complicated! Join us on another episode of Unschooling with Kai!

Are you an older person without knee pain? Or a young person with knee pain without a history of injury or other explanation? Let us know at unschoolingwithkai@gmail.com !!

Today we talk about Ebenezer Scrooge’s exclamation in Charles Dicken’s 1843 book A Christmas Carol. Enjoy!
