• Renaissance

  Learn about the Renaissance period with iMindsJNR audio learning series for younger minds.

  The word “Renaissance” means “rebirth” in French. It was first used by French historian Jules Michelet in 1858, to refer to a ‘movement’ which took place between about the 13th and 16th centuries . This movement describes the transition from medieval to modern Europe, so there are no exact dates for when it began or ended. The Renaissance began in Italy some time at the end of the 13th century and spread to other countries in Western Europe, such as France, Spain and England.

That’s why it may surprise you to learn that the bank notes we know today are a relatively recent form of money.

  This isn’t to say that people only recently started buying and selling with each other. People have always traded goods and services.

• Jury System

  Learn about the development of the Jury System with iMindsJNR audio learning series for younger minds.

  When someone accused of a crime goes to court, a decision is made on whether or not to punish them. This is done by either a judge or a jury. A judge has a job in law. But a jury is a group of everyday people who work together to decide if a suspect is innocent or guilty. Whether or not a jury is used depends on the matter being heard. In general, courts draw on juries when the matter is particularly serious. But to understand when and why a jury is used, it helps to know more about justice systems.

• Civil Rights

  Learn about the development of Civil Rights with iMindsJNR audio learning series for younger minds.

  Imagine living in a world where different skin colours are celebrated, where gender is not a controversy, and where disabilities are always respected. Such a world would be one that recognised ‘civil rights’.
  Civil rights are people’s rights to be equal, regardless of race, religion, gender, and disabilities. In democratic countries, civil rights are also known as “natural rights.” They are called natural rights because many people in these democratic countries believe that fundamentally all humans are born equal. The idea of civil rights is very old.

• Flight

  Learn about the history of Flight with iMindsJNR audio learning series for younger minds.

  Have you ever wondered how a bird flies, or how a heavy airplane stays in the sky? Flight occurs when an object moves through the atmosphere instead of falling towards the Earth. This object can be an aircraft, a spaceship, a rocket, a balloon, a bird, or an insect. In order for something to fly, it has to be lighter than the air around it or powerful enough to defy gravity, which is the Earth’s pull. When a plane gains a lot of speed, its wings push air underneath and the plane rises. When a bird flaps its wings, it creates lift by pushing air underneath.

  Learn about the development of Photography with iMindsJNR audio learning series for younger minds.

  Before the photograph was invented, the best way to capture an image was by painting it. You can imagine how long that would take! In 1990, Kodak unveiled the first widely available digital camera. These days, through many advances in technology, we can store hundreds of images on a single camera, ready to print or upload onto a computer whenever we like. But how did we get from paintings to digital photography?

  Powerful women in Viking helmets, heroic males with incredible voices, and epic themes of life and death –this is opera!

  Opera is an art form that tells a story through singing, music, dancing and acting. It began in 1597 when an Italian artist, Jacopo Peri, tried to reproduce the ancient Greek dramas. After noticing that the Greeks used music and speech together in these dramas, Peri chose to do the same but with signing. He created the first opera, called “Dafne.” Soon after Dafne’s release, opera became a popular form of entertainment across Europe.

• Colonialism

  Learn about the history of Colonialism with iMindsJNR audio learning series for younger minds.

  Around 500 years ago, European nations began to explore the world around them more than ever before. With safer and faster ships, Europeans were able to sail across the globe, over oceans that had once been unnavigable. As they undertook these great voyages of discovery they encountered cultures very different to their own. In many cases, Europeans established settlements in the lands of these other cultures and came to dominate them. The term “colonialism” was invented to describe this overtaking of one culture by another.

  A powerful army, a developed system of government and great road building – this is how Rome achieved an empire!

  For the early part of its history Rome was ruled by kings, like most other places in the ancient world. But in 510 BC, the Romans decided they were sick of obeying powerful monarchs. They took the momentous step of abolishing the monarchy and electing their leaders as a Roman republic. This was done so no one could have power without the support of the people.

• French Revolution

  Learn about the history of the French Revolution with iMindsJNR audio learning series for younger minds.

  The French Revolution came about because of a long-held displeasure at how the rich lived. While the rich lived comfortably, the common people were forced to pay taxes too high for them to pay. And there was not enough food produced for them to eat. French peasants became so impoverished that visitors to France said many of them were as skinny as skeletons.

  In May 1789, King Louis XVI called a meeting of priests, lords and common people. At the meeting it was clear the common people wanted more power. They felt they deserved it as they were the only class required to pay taxes.

• Human Body

  Learn about the workings of the Human Body with iMindsJNR audio learning series for younger minds.

  The human body is more sophisticated than even the best computer. But while scientists know more about the human body than perhaps anything else, there are still mysteries that baffle us. When it comes to the human body, the more we know, the more we realise we don’t know!

  The human body is a collection of 100 trillion tiny cells. These are the body’s building blocks. Each cell has the same basic structure: an outer skin, a nucleus, and a jelly-like fluid containing floating organelles. There are many different types of cells: fat cells, blood cells, brain cells and more!

• Photosynthesis

  Learn about the process of Photosynthesis with iMindsJNR audio learning series for younger minds.

  You may have asked yourself before now: if plants are alive, why don’t they eat? The answer is they do eat, but not in the same way as humans and animals. Green plants, algae and some bacteria are able to use energy from the sun as a kind of food that enables them to live and grow. The complicated process by which this happens is called photosynthesis. The word ‘photo’ comes from the Greek word phos, meaning ‘light’ and the word ‘synthesis’ means to form something.

  Learn about the discovery of Atoms with iMindsJNR audio learning series for younger minds.

  How is your body similar to the chair you are sitting in? Both things are made up of atoms! In fact, almost everything in the entire universe is made up of atoms. They are the building blocks of matter.

• Evolution

  Learn about the theory of Evolution with iMindsJNR audio learning series for younger minds.

  Evolution is a theory which explains how life on Earth developed. At its heart, it proposes that all species, including human beings, are formed by way of a gradual process of mutation from other species. According to this theory, humans are related to gorillas and reptiles because they share common ancestors. They are like distant cousins with the same grandparents. The important difference is that millions of generations separate them! Amazingly, evolutionary theory even suggests that we share a common ancestor with all organisms on earth.

• Volcanoes

  Learn about the science and history of Volcanoes with iMindsJNR audio learning series for younger minds.

  A volcano is an opening in the earth’s surface through which molten rock, gases and debris can escape. The mound commonly associated with volcanoes is what remains after eruptions have collected and hardened around this opening.

  Volcanoes exist in the mythology of numerous countries, such as Iceland and Japan. Many past cultures, such as the Greeks and the Romans, also had volcano mythology. In fact, the Romans invented the words ‘volcano’, taking the word from the island of Vulcano just off the south-west coast of Italy.

• Dinosaurs

  Learn about the science and history of Dinosaurs with iMindsJNR audio learning series for younger minds.

  Huge and sometimes ferocious, dinosaurs ruled the earth for more than 175 million years. To us, dinosaurs might be scary-looking. But humans never had to fear dinosaurs because they died out 65 million years ago, a long time before the first people were around!

  Dinosaurs lived in a period called the Mesozoic era, which began about 240 million years ago. This era can be divided into three periods. The first is the Triassic period, when Dinosaurs first emerged. At that time, they were smaller and made up only about 5 per cent of the land animals that were around.
