For 30 years, the Berlin Wall was the defining symbol of the Cold War, separating families and keeping the people from jobs and opportunity in the west. Still, around 5,000 people managed to escape to freedom in West Berlin and eventually the wall was torn down with pieces of it being sent to places all around the world. This video contains text commentary. (2:27)

In this video, Pexi the Alien asks Alexi why leaves change colors. Alexi explains that leaves make their own food. During the summer, trees take carbon dioxide from the air and water from the ground and make their own food using sunlight and chlorophyll. Trees stop making food in fall therefore making chlorophyll go away. Some leaves are read due to trapped food and some are brown due to waste in leaves. Content is appropriate for elementary students and video would work well in conjunction with a lesson/unit/story on seasons and/or fall.

Kay Redfield Jamison, professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences and co-director of the Johns Hopkins Mood Disorders Center at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, convened a discussion of the
effects of depression on creativity. Joining Jamison were two
distinguished colleagues from the fields of neurology and
neuropsychiatry, Dr. Terence Ketter and Dr. Peter Whybrow. The Music and the Brain series is co-sponsored by the Library's Music Division and Science, Technology and Business Division, in cooperation with the Dana Foundation. The "Depression and Creativity" symposium marks the bicentennial of the birth of German composer Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847), who died after a severe depression following the death of his sister, Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel, also a gifted composer. One of the nation's most influential writers on creativity and the mind, Kay Redfield Jamison is a noted authority on bipolar disorder. She is the co-author of the standard medical text on manic-depressive illness and author of "Touched with Fire," "An Unquiet Mind," "Night Falls Fast" and "Exuberance: The Vital Emotion." Dr. Terence Ketter is known for extensive clinical work with exceptionally creative individuals and a strong interest in the relationship of creativity and madness. He is
professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences and chief of the Bipolar
Disorders Clinic at Stanford University School of Medicine.
Dr. Peter Whybrow, an authority on depression and manic-depressive disease, is director of the Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior
at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). He is also the
Judson Braun Distinguished Professor and executive chair of the Department of Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. (02:04:43)

The water cycle is the constant movement of water through the Earth and its atmosphere. Water on the ground evaporates, becoming water vapor. The vapor rises, becomes clouds, and then falls back to the Earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hail. Learn more about the water cycle with this cartoon animation from StudyJams. A short, self-checking quiz is also included with this link.

This short video is an animation of an apple's journey from the tree to the ground, decaying, sprouting and growing into an apple tree over time. The sun shines, the rain falls, and a tropical season cycle is shown (no snow). There is no narration, so an educator showing this to young students would have to supplement the video with information. This is a great resource to help build background knowledge and to help make real world connections between nature and the classroom. (01:48)
