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 word part chord means agreement or harmony.

00:37The word accord is made of two word parts.

00:40The first is ac, which is a variation of ad.

00:43Ad means towards. The second is chord, which means agreement.

00:48An accord is a formal agreement that can be used to specify conditions that may lead to a treaty,

00:53and that treaty may help stop a war and preserve peace.

00:57One of the more famous examples of accords are the Camp David Accords.

01:01They involve Egypt, Israel, and the United States.

01:04They are named after the U.S. President's vacation home because the accords were written at Camp David.

01:10The word accordance is made of two word parts.

01:13The first is ac, which is a variation of ad.

01:16The word part ad can mean towards. The second is chord, which means agreement.

01:22We often use the word accordance when we're meaning that something is in agreement with a rule or the law.

01:27For example, these vehicles are all going less than 60 miles per hour in accordance with the speed limit.

01:34The word according is made of two word parts.

01:37The first is ac, which is a variation of ad.

01:40The word part ad can mean towards. The second is chord, which means agreement.

01:46We often use this word to say that something is in agreement with a theory or agreement with what someone wants.

01:52Here's an example. According to Newton's theory of light,

01:55what we call white light is actually many colors of light in the same place at the same time.

02:00A prism separates white light so we see all the colors of the rainbow.

02:04The water in this mist is not making colors.

02:07According to Newton's theory, the colors in this rainbow were already in the white light that came from the sun.

02:12Just like a prism, water droplets in the mist can separate the white light into separate light colors.

02:18The word concord is made of two word parts.

02:21The first word part is con, which means together or with.

02:24In this case, it means with. The second is chord, which means agreement.

02:29Together, these word parts mean there's agreement between two or more things or people.

02:34In school, we frequently use the word concord when learning the subject verb concord rule.

02:40That's a grammar rule, which means the verb must be in agreement with the number of subjects.

02:45Here's an example. Billy likes to play chess.

02:48Billy and Susie like to play chess.

02:50Please notice that when we're talking about just one subject, in this case, Billy,

02:55then we use the verb likes, which ends in the letter S.

02:59But when we're talking about two subjects, in this case, Billy and Susie,

03:03then we use the verb like, which has no letter S.

03:07Concord, Massachusetts is a very important town in American history.

03:11The town was likely named after the word concord, which is made of two word parts.

03:16The first word part is con, which can mean together or with.

03:20In this case, it means with. The second is chord, which means agreement.

03:25When we live in concord with each other, that's like saying we get along.

03:29Just like this cat and dog are getting along rather than fighting.

03:33Concord was founded by American settlers in 1635.

03:37In 1775, the towns of Concord and nearby Lexington, Massachusetts,

03:42were attacked by the British Army, which began the American Revolutionary War.

03:47That's when Paul Revere made his famous ride to warn Americans of the British invasion.

03:52That was America's war with England, which, after we won, made us an independent country.

03:57The word concord is made of two word parts.

04:00The first word part is con, which can mean together or with.

04:05In this word, it means with. The second is chord, which means agreement.

04:10Concord is the name of one of the fastest passenger jets that ever flew.

04:15It got its name because it was developed by teams in England and France who work in agreement.

04:20The Concord could fly twice as fast as our current passenger planes,

04:24often reaching speeds of more than 1,000, 300 miles per hour.

04:29It stopped flying in 2003, but is still considered one of the greatest engineering feats of all time.

04:36The word discord is made of two word parts. The first is dis, which means not.

04:41The second is chord, which means agreement.

04:44Together, these word parts mean disagreement. Here's an example.

04:48Although Billy and Susie try to talk things out, discord grows between them.

04:53Thanks for your attention.
