The Go Jetters Visit the Sahara Desert
In The Go Jetters Visit the Sahara Desert, Ubercorn shares fun facts about the Sahara Desert! Discover the amazing sand dunes that move and change with the wind, like magic mountains made of sand. Meet camels, the desert’s coolest travelers, who can go without water for a long time, and learn about the Tuareg "blue men," who wear bright blue turbans to keep the sand away. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Go Jetters, a series that follows the adventures of four plucky international heroes as they travel the globe visiting the world’s most famous landmarks with their friend and mentor, Ubercorn, a disco-dancing unicorn.
Lesson Express
Q: Why do you think sand dunes change shape when the wind blows?
A: Sand dunes change shape because the wind moves the sand. When the wind changes direction or speed, it pushes the sand into new places, creating new forms.
Q: How might an oasis be important for animals and people living in the desert?
A: An oasis provides water and plants, which animals and people need to survive. It’s like a little home where they can rest and drink.
Q: How do camels help the Tuareg people in the Sahara Desert?
A: Camels help by carrying heavy loads, traveling long distances, and providing transportation across the desert. They are very important for life in the Sahara.
