This professionally-made music video from They Might Be Giants explains that a shooting star is actually is a meteor in the sky. Cartoons are simple and cute while the tune and lyrics are catchy and easy to remember. Some lyrics include "A shooting star is not a star, is not a star at all. A shooting star is a meteor that's heading for a fall. A shooting star is not a star. Why does it shine so bright? The friction as it falls through air produces heat and light. A shooting star or meteor, whichever name you like. The minute it comes down to Earth it's called a meteorite." (01:32)

One thousand miles from anywhere lay a lonely outpost of coral and sea called Midway. It was here in 1942 where the U.S. and Japan fought one of the greatest naval battles of World War II that changed the course of history. And it is here again where Titanic discoverer Dr. Robert Ballard now leads a team of experts and four World War II veterans on the voyage of their lives. They’re on a race against time to do the impossible: find at least one of the five downed aircraft carriers. Join them as they pay their final respects to their fallen comrades. (1hr23min)

In this video, teenage students will be introduced to "What Comes After" by Steve Watkins. Iris Wight has it rough. Her father's dead. Her best friend's family has decided they can't keep her. Alone and hurting, Iris ends up at horrible Aunt Sue's where her only solace is the goats ... and even those, Iris discovers, can be taken from her in an instant. The first half of "What Comes After" is a particularly tough read, but Iris is a compelling protagonist whose falling-apart life still has moments of pure beauty—and welcome humor. You won't be able to put this book down until you're sure that Iris has found her way—which, through sheer determination (and some unexpected allies) Iris actually does. This is a great resource to motivate upper grade readers. (01:20)

"Sun, Rain, Wind, and Snow" is a folk song for children that explains different types of weather. In each verse four characters set out in their balloon to explore all the fun things you can do when it's sunny, rainy, windy, or snowy. This is a great introduction for children to learn about the 4 seasons. ESL teachers can pair the weather words with the season - e.g. "sunny" with "summer", "rainy" with "spring", "windy" with "fall", and "snowy" with "winter". (02:26)

This Australian frog can hold water for two years, long enough to live through most droughts. Less than 12 inches of rain a year falls where the Water Holding Frog lives. The frog burrows into mud and creates a kind of burial chamber for itself while it waits for the next rainy season. The frog cocoons itself into its skin. When the rain falls again the frog comes out of its self induced coma and works to find a mate. This is a great teaching resource for elementary/middle school students. It would work well in conjunction with a thematic unit and/or science unit/lesson on amphibians. This video provides background knowledge for this animal and Australia. (1:51)

The flag is shown against the blue sky. The yellow field and red symbol colors are the colors of Spain. There is a red sun with rays stretching out from it. There are four groups of rays with four rays in each group. This is an ancient sun symbol of a Native American people called the Zia. They believed the giver of all good gave gifts in groups of four. The gifts are: the four directions - north, east, south and west. Two: the four seasons - spring, summer, fall and winter. Three: the day - sunrise, noon, evening and night. Four: life itself - childhood, youth, middle years and old age. Five: all of these are bound by a circle of life and love, without a beginning or end.

The South Carolina flag history: Asked by the Revolutionary Council of Safety in the fall of 1775 to design a flag for the use of South Carolina troops, Col. William Moultrie chose a blue which matched the color of their uniforms and a crescent which reproduced the silver emblem worn on the front of their caps. The palmetto tree was added later to represent Moultrie's heroic defense of the palmetto-log fort on Sullivan's Island against the attack of the British fleet on June 28, 1776. South Carolina anthem: “Carolina”, written by Henry Timrod and composed by Anne Custis Burgess. With this video you can see the flag and hear the anthem. Good for all students.

This teacher-made project is a rap song about what fossil fuels are and how they are formed. Audio quality is low making it difficult to understand the words to the rap. Some of the lyrics include: "Well, it all starts a few million years ago from the mountains high to the valleys low. I've been talking to the bird and talking to the bees telling me all about the dead trees. They've been falling to the ground getting covered in soild and sand. It all builds up and there's loads of pressure. Dead trees you can't escape - I aint gonna let ya. Now I'm telling you from the bottom of my soul, them dead trees get turned into coal...." This video could also be used to inspire a student project/rap. Run time 01:43. Lyrics begin after 0:30.
