Beth Dichter's insight:
I am fan of Rube Goldberg machines and this one is different than any I have seen online. It uses light to power the machine. It is short, only two minutes and it would be a great introduction to hook kids on optics.

Beth Dichter's insight:
How well do you know science? How about misconceptions in science that many believe are true? This video will help you (and your students) discover 50 misconceptions in science. If you use it with a class you may want to spread it out over a few days and allow time of discussion!

Climate change is complex. An increase in CO2 causes the earth to warm up, but is that a bad thing? And what does it mean to the Netherlands? Studio Lakmoes designed…
Beth Dichter's insight:
Climate change may still be a controversial subject in some areas. This short video provides a clear explanation about climate change. With the celebration of Earth Day later this month you may find this useful to share in your classroom.

We're thrilled to launch our next series of animations: This Thing Called Science. This series follows on from Critical Thinking, showing the way we think scientifically by considering skepticism, ...
Beth Dichter's insight:
This is a fabulous series that explore science. Six animated videos are available that show "the way we think scientifically by considering skepticism, testing, blinding, uncertainty ethics and citizen science." By title they are: * This Thing Called Science Part 1: Call me skeptical * This Thing Called Science Part 2: Testing, testing, 1, 2, 3 * This Thing Called Science Part 3: Blinded by Science * This Thing Called Science Part 4: Confidently Uncertain * This Thing Called Science Part 5: Do the Right Thing * This Thing Called Science Part 6: Citizen Science These videos were created by Bridge8, who also put out a great series of videos on Critical Thinking. You can find that series at http://bridge8.wordpress.com/2012/01/30/critical-thinking-animations/ There are also 2 guides available for the Critical Thinking series, a postcard size one and an extended one. I found these on YouTube when I accessed the video Critical Thinking Part 1: A Valuable Argument uploaded by techNyouvids.

Great series for introduction to scientific concepts and research methods. When we are aware of sources of bias we can devise ways to test for it or eliminate it.

Learn more about Science by first understanding the Scientific Process. These videos above make it much more easier to understand the topic.

An incredible source of quality teaching resources from ARKive; a project aiming to not only record the world's endangered species but to educate and inspire the world to act for the protection of the natural environment. ARKive are working in collaboration with IUCN, WWF and other conservation organisations. |
This video may change the way you view the sun. For the last five years NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) has been taking images of the sun and this video provides views that are breath taking. I have shown this video to students from kindergarten through grade 7 and all want to see it again. There are amazing images with music, and very few words. Try to find five minutes in your day to watch this, and chances are you will find yourself forwarding the link to others.
Quoting from NASA "Watch the movie to see giant clouds of solar material hurled out into space, the dance of giant loops hovering in the corona, and huge sunspots growing and shrinking on the sun's surface."
