Gourmet Grazing - Today, it seems Karla is more interested in continuing to play than stopping for lunch. For her, eating is boring and playing is fun. Mama (through a movie or two) demonstrates to Karla that eating well can be exciting too, as well as showing her the incredibly wide variety of things that animals eat. Kings and Queens of the Savanna - Bo, Karla and Max are having a discussion about who the true "King" or "Queen" of the savanna might be. When Mama overhears, she decides to take the kids on a kind of "nature walk" where she demonstrates (with the help of her home movies) that when it comes to important jobs, nearly every animal on the savanna, big or small, is a King or a Queen.

This episode of GED Connection is about Geometry. Geometry deals with objects, surfaces, lines and angles. This program reviews where geometry came from, definitions used in geometry, and properties of angles and triangles. The GED test may have questions that ask for angle measures on intersecting lines where some angle measures are given and some are not. The definitions that are provided in this program include that of a point, line, ray, angle, and vertex. The types of angles that are discussed are congruent angles, right angles, complementary angles, supplementary angles, acute angles, and obtuse angles. Several types of triangles are covered as well, including right triangles, isosceles triangles, and equalateral triangles.
