  • Ancient Egypt - From the Vault

    Ancient Egypt - From the Vault
    Feb 28 2026
    Travel back thousands of years to one of the world’s most fascinating civilisations in this From the Vault episode of Squiz Kids Shortcut — Ancient Egypt. It was a place where pyramids scraped the sky, powerful pharaohs ruled the land, men and women wore eye makeup for surprising reasons, and the rich were carefully mummified for the afterlife. But how much of what we think we know about Ancient Egypt is actually true? Perfect for curious kids — and especially handy if Ancient Egypt is popping up in your classroom this year. Listen carefully… there’s a Squiz at the end! Link: ⁠How to mummify a chicken

  • What are the different States of Matter and why do they change? Science Short

    What are the different States of Matter and why do they change? Science Short
    Feb 27 2026
    Why does an ice cube melt… water boil… and steam disappear into thin air? This week’s Squiz Kids Science Short unpacks the states of matter — solids, liquids, gases… and the one you may not know, plasma. What are they really? What’s happening at the tiny particle level? And why does adding heat completely change how matter behaves? From frozen jumpers to glowing neon lights and the blazing Sun, we explore how energy makes particles move, spread out, or even lose tiny pieces called electrons. Solid. Liquid. Gas. Plasma. It’s not magic. It’s motion.
