King George III was shrewder, more complex, and more intriguing than we often acknowledge. He was king for sixty years, from 1760 to 1820. He was frugal in an age of excess, pious at a time of impiety. He despised disorder and loathed disobedience. (05:29)

Watch the amazing story of Saint George. Today, Saint George according to legend, was a Roman soldier of Greek origin and officer in the Guard of an emperor Diocletian, who was sentenced to death for failing to recant his Christian faith. As a Christian martyr, he later became one of the most venerated saints in Christianity, and was especially venerated by the Crusaders. George's parents were Christians of Greek background. (14:05)

John Green continues discussing George Orwell's 1984. Today we're talking about what the novel 1984 has to say about what some have called today's surveillance society. We'll also look at the idea that language can be used as a means to control people's thoughts. Can something like Newspeak prevent a person from having certain thoughts? (12:41)

The children blow up helium balloons on a windy day and experiment with different weights to hold them down. The first weight is too light and the balloon blows away. The second weight is too heavy and balloon just stays on the ground. The third weight is just right and the balloons float in mid-air. The children also give a brief description of helium: "Helium is a gas that is lighter than air."

The Wombat is a Marsupial that can be found in Australia. They are quadrupeds who are herbivores and are, for the most part, nocturnal creatures that reside in mountains and forests. They are exclusively found in Australia and, one interesting fact about these furry little animals is their backwards facing pouch, which evolved in order to avoid dirt gathering while digging and burrowing.
