00:00This educational video is intended to help children build their vocabulary for the purpose of their general knowledge,

00:06as well as to improve their scores on state and other standardized exams.

00:11Please pause the video to read the purpose, scope, and warnings related to this video.

00:16This video has a free student engagement worksheet that can also be used as a quiz.

00:21It's available in many formats.

00:23Please see the link in the description to download this.

00:26In this video, we'll learn the definition of these words.

00:29We'll do that by focusing on the meaning of the word parts, which make up each word.

00:34The root word can means to shine.

00:37The word candle is made of the root canned.

00:39We're all familiar with candles.

00:41They get that name because, when we light them on fire, they shine light.

00:45The word candelabra is made of the root canned.

00:48A candelabra is a device that holds many candles, such as this metal object.

00:54These were popular many years ago, before people had light bulbs in their ceilings and flashlights.

00:59The word candescent contains the root canned.

01:02Candescent is another way of saying glowing.

01:06For example, on a bright summer's day, we have candescent skin.

01:10We could also say that right now this fire pit is not candescent.

01:14But once we've added some sticks and lit them, then this becomes a candescent fire pit.

01:19The word incandescent has two key word parts.

01:23The first is in, which can mean in or not.

01:26For this word, it means in.

01:29The most common use of this word is when referring to old-fashioned light bulbs, like this one.

01:34These light bulbs are made of a thin piece of wire that shines very brightly when electricity flows through the wire.

01:40We call this an incandescent bulb because the bulb shines from deep within the glass bowl.

01:46In contrast, these are fluorescent bulbs.

01:49They work in a different way.

01:51Unlike fluorescent bulbs, the coating on the wall of the glass bowl glows when the inside of the tube gets hot.

01:57The name Candace is made of the root canned.

02:00This is a popular name for girls and women and is often abbreviated as Candy.

02:04The name Candace means someone who shines.

02:07For example, this girl's name is Candace.

02:10And just like her name describes, she has a shining smile, shining eyes, and a shining personality.

02:17The next two words are very similar.

02:20The words candor and candid.

02:22Both of these contain the root canned.

02:24In this context, we use the word shine to mean truth and honesty.

02:28The word candor is a noun and refers to statements someone makes.

02:32Here's an example sentence.

02:34This teacher's candor about this student's low grades will likely motivate her mother to hire a tutor for a few lessons.

02:40The word candid is not a noun.

02:43It's an adjective.

02:44Here's an example sentence.

02:46During his job performance review with his supervisor, Billy received candid feedback about what he's done well and what he needs to improve on.

02:55There are many times that we're not serious about what we say or do.

02:59For example, when we make up funny stories and jokes or when we pretend to be superheroes with special powers.

03:06These people are not being candid about what they really believe.

03:10One way to remember that candid and candor mean honesty and truth is to think of the familiar expression someone's in the dark.

03:17That expression means a person doesn't know what the truth is.

03:21For example, this child doesn't know where the true location of the pinata is because the blindfold is effectively keeping him in the dark.

03:29In contrast, when there is light shining that we can see, then we know exactly what the truth is around us.

03:35The word candidate contains the root canned.

03:38The most common use of the word candidate is to refer to someone who's running for election in a democratic government.

03:44Candidates often give speeches saying what they'll do if they get elected to become a politician.

03:49The origin of this word likely dates back to the Roman Empire when people who wanted to be politicians would wear bright white clothes that shined.

03:57They may have done this as a way to show their intentions were pure and bright.

04:01Thanks for your attention.
