This catchy song uses an adorible puppet and humor to describe all of the special traits of the platypus. He sings that he is a duck billed, web footed, fast swimming, warm blooded, bottom feeding, egg laying, flat tailed, burrow digging platypus. (01:24)
The song could be used while studying the letter P, a science lesson on animal classifications, or used to compliment the text exemplar What Do You Do With a Tail Like This?

So, we've been putting off a kind of basic question here. What is money? What is currency? How are the two different. Well, not to give away too much, but money has a few basic functions. It acts as a store of value, a medium of exchange, and as a unit of account. Money isn't just bills and coins. It can be anything that meets these three criteria. In US prisons, apparently, pouches of Mackerel are currency. Yes, mackerel the fish. Paper and coins work as money because they're backed by the government, which is an advantage over mackerel. So, once you've got money, you need finance. We'll talk about borrowing, lending, interest, and stocks and bonds. Also, this episode features a giant zucchini, which Adriene grew in her garden. So that's cool. (10:35)

This video clip is the eighth episode in the Principles of the Constitution Mini-Series. This clip focuses on Amendments 11-18 of the U.S. Constitution. It explains that in order to pass an amendment, a bill must be approved by 2/3 of the Senate and the House of Representatives. At no point does the President have a role in the process. The 11th Amendment consists of lawsuits against states. The 12th Amendment deals with presidential elections. The 13th amendment states the abolition of slavery. The 14th amendment defines civil rights. The 15th Amendment gave everyone the right to vote. The 16th Amendment deals with income taxes. The 17th amendment deals with senate elections and the 18th amendment deals with prohibition of liquor. The end of this informational video contains a series of five questions covering the material learned throughout the clip. (6:57)

The fight for civil rights was the fight for equality. In this song, witness Martin Luther King Jr. use the most powerful weapon of all: words. The song covers the passing of the Civil Rights Bill, the Voting Rights Act and Brown v. Board of Education. But MLK couldn’t always keep the peace, and the song also covers some of the more violent moments in the fight for civil rights, including the assassinations of JFK and Malcolm X. Lyrics included.

In this School House Rock video, students will learn how checks are used in the banking system. Some of the lyrics include the following: The check's in the mail
The check is in the mail
And it ought to be there Tuesday without fail
If you have got a bill to pay
Or something you need to buy
Just write the check and send it off in the mail. Millions of Americans go out every day
With a checkbook in their purse
They might have a little cash to pay for their lunch
And a little to get home on the bus
But if they suddenly decide to make a purchase or shop
They whip it out and write out the exact amount
With some I.D., then they sign it
And they walk out with the stuff
That they paid for with their checking account. This is a good teaching resource for teaching students about money and financial responsibility. (3:01)

This manipulative uses United States currency, both coins and bills. Images of bills include a circled number to identify their value: one, five, ten, twenty, or fifty dollars. The coins (pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, and half dollars) should be easily identifiable, but it may take a little practice. There are more instructions on the right side of the Java applet.

(Note: This two-minute video is a little blurry, but still watchable.) Bill Clinton became the 42nd President of the United States in 1993, and the first Democratic President to serve two terms since Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
Born in Hope, Arkansas, he grew up in a turbulent and troubled home. Rising from poverty to graduate from Georgetown University, he attended Oxford University on a Rhodes scholarship and received a law degree from Yale. After serving as Attorney General of Arkansas, he became the youngest governor in the nation, only to be defeated and elected again this time for four terms.
These experiences led him to the presidency, where his new generation of government brought economic recovery and improved international relations. He made more minority appointments then any other President, bringing diversity to the White House. (02:01)

CAUTION: A three-letter word is used in the first couple of minutes. Although, it is not necessarily a curse word--some may be offended. PLEASE PREVIEW BEFORE WATCHING.) John Green teaches you about the roots of the American Revolution. The Revolution did not start on July 4, 1776. The Revolutionary War didn't start on July 4 either. (as you remember, I'm sure, the Revolution and the Revolutionary War are not the same thing) The shooting started on April 19, 1775, at Lexington and/or Concord, MA. Or the shooting started with the Boston Massacre on March 5, 1770. At least we can pin down the Declaration of Independence to July 4, 1776. Except that most of the signers didn't sign until August 2. The point is that the beginning of the Revolution is very complex and hard to pin down. John will lead you through the bramble of taxes, royal decrees, acts of parliament, colonial responses, and various congresses. We'll start with the end of the Seven Years War, and the bill that the British ran up fighting the war. This led to taxes on colonial trade, which led to colonists demanding representation, which led to revolution. It all seems very complicated, but Crash Course will get you through it in about 12 minutes. (12:19)

On March 28, 1965, Martin Luther King, Jr. appeared on NBC's Meet The Press. One week after leading his historic five-day march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama, King said that the demonstration was necessary not just to help push the Voting Rights Bill through, but to draw attention to the humiliating conditions in Alabama such as police brutality and racially-motivated murders.
