On Star Trek, the time is stated in military time. Someone might say 0900 hours, which means 9:00am. It took me
a while to understand the military time as I was also a kid while watching the show, and even to this day I sometimes
make mistakes. However, if you’re interested in military topics, this is something worth learning as it coincides
with real life.
The military ranks in Star Trek are different from real life, of course, but kids could understand the concepts—for
example, what’s the highest rank in Star Trek—and they might even ask, what the highest rank is in the army in
real life.
Lastly, history and astronomy! Not a lot of kids like learning history or astronomy. However, if they see an episode
of Star Trek that involves history, astronomy and the past, classes may become interesting to them.
