Bird Nest (54424545126).jpg

Strong kindergarten fit because the nest is immediately recognizable as shelter.
Best used near the shelter section, not as the only image for the whole topic.

Gopher tortoise burrow and habitat gopherus polyphemus.jpg

Creator: Pattavina Pete, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

Stronger habitat example than the nest photo because it shows an animal shelter inside a wider environment.
Slightly less immediate for kindergarten because the animal itself is not the focal point.

Scientifically accurate but too dense and too adult for kindergarten weather and seasons.
This topic likely needs a locally assembled multi-icon or multi-photo visual instead of one sourced image.

Still needs a focused caption so students pay attention to place relationships, not every label on the map.

Weaker than the fire station because it does not directly show a community helper role.

Americas Tectonic Plate Map - by NOAA.jpg

Good fallback if a regional focus on the Pacific and the Americas works better than a full-world plate map.
Probably too regional for the main lesson image unless it is tied to a specific earthquake or volcano example.

User-suggested file to keep in the day/night review trail.

Formation of day and night on earth.jpg

Creator: Uniqueboy(dev)

Initially approved for the pilot because it directly explains day and night in a single educational diagram and is much more manageable than the 25 MB NASA still.
Removed from the live lesson after review because the visual treatment is not a good fit for LearnCrux lesson pages.
Do not re-register this file unless the lesson-image style changes substantially.

Best direct-fit candidate because it clearly contrasts the daylight side and the nighttime side of Earth.
May need a tight crop or careful placement so the lesson does not become too visually dense for Grade 1 readers.

Ancient Egypt Funerary Statue (28672683231).jpg

Creator: Gary Todd

Strong artifact candidate for an ancient-civilizations lesson because it is factual, high-resolution, and license-safe.
Fits best if the lesson figure is used as a concrete example of how artifacts reveal beliefs and daily life.
Egypt-specific, so it should not imply that all ancient civilizations looked the same.

Also Egypt-specific, so it should be framed as one civilization example rather than the full unit.
