In The Science Behind Emotional Tears, host Harith Iskander explains the different types of tears: basal tears that keep the eyes moist, reflex tears that occur when you cut onions or get something in your eye, and emotional tears triggered by strong feelings. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Got Science?, a science magazine series that explores and explains science in everyday life.
In The Cherokee and the Trail of Tears, learn how the Cherokee Nation, originally from the southeastern U.S., was forced to give up most of its land to the U.S. government in the 1800s. Despite adopting Western ways, they were relocated after President Andrew Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act in 1830. This led to the tragic Trail of Tears, where thousands of Cherokees died during the journey. However, the Cherokee rebuilt their nation in Oklahoma, with Tahlequah becoming their capital.
