This is an entertaining instructional video that elementary school teachers can show to their students to help them better understand the process of revising. Viewers will learn what revising means, the goals of revising, how to revise, and how revising differs from editing. "The video features two students simulating a typical day in the classroom, and they are working on a Writing Workshop project. I filmed the video with these children last summer and debuted it in the classroom this Fall. Watching the two kids in the video work together to revise a piece of writing had a wonderful effect on my students'
ability to cooperate, listen to one another's suggestions, use their time well, and make valuable changes to their initial drafts. (05:55)

This educational music video from Silly Bus uses music and close-up video images to teach young children about fall leaves. Some of the lyrics include, "Looking out the window and what do I see out on the limbs of a big tall tree? Many different colors blowing in the breeze. Falling down to the ground, the autumn leave. Grab a rake. We're gonna make a pile of leaves with our friends..." Run time 01:36.

Its time for a no-holds barred match to see who was right Aristotle or Galileo as we answer the question.. Do heavier objects fall faster than lighter objects? And, of course, what Mr. O video would be complete without something just plain ridiculous like say dropping water balloons off a 20+ foot balcony. (Yes, it was fun, but dont try it at home kiddies!). (05:31)

Shel Silverstein, creator of the beloved poetry collections A Light in the Attic and Falling Up, recites the poem 'Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me Too' from Where the Sidewalk Ends. As in classic Shel Silverstein style, students will love the voices and creative illustrations. What a great resource to introduce and use poetry in the classroom. (2:15)

Freshwater seems abundant, but when accounting for all the water on Earth, it's in limited supply. Just three percent of the water on our planet is freshwater. A majority of this water, about two percent of the world total, is contained in glaciers and ice sheets or stored below ground. The remaining one percent is found in lakes, rivers and wetland areas or transported through the atmosphere in the form of water vapor, clouds and precipitation. Rain and snowfall replenish freshwater sources, making it vital to know when, where and how much water is falling at any given time. Using NASA's Global Precipitation Measurement satellite, researchers can track precipitation worldwide and monitor levels from space. (02:49)

A common event at Science Olympiad competitions is the Scrambler. The Scrambler must be a vehicle designed to use a falling mass to transport an egg a particular distance that students will be informed of only at the time of the event. This video displays a fairly simple braking system that is very beneficial to student success. Run time :20

As many who entered the labor market following the Great Recession know all too well, graduating with a college degree does not mean you’ll easily fall into a good career. Four-year college graduates with entry-level jobs actually earned more in 2000 than they’re earning today and student loan debt burdens are higher than ever.
Does this mean you should skip college or drop-out? Not necessarily. Unemployment is still lower for those with undergraduate and higher degrees. However, understanding the economics behind the labor market will make finding a career a more manageable task.
The labor market in the United States has undergone many changes in the past few decades. Whereas we once had many manufacturing jobs that required little training or specialized skills, the labor market today demands more people who can work with computers and information technology.
Choosing a good career requires planning beyond getting a college education. You’ll want to carefully consider the career options available for your major, as well any specialized skills you’ll need to build outside of the classroom.
It’s also essential to understand how supply and demand affect your career options. How many people are also choosing that major vs. how many employers are looking for those skills? Is a particular career path susceptible to being replaced by a machine? What about outsourcing in the global labor market? What about laws and regulation – does it require an occupational license?
There’s a lot to think about! Choosing a career is a huge decision and understanding how supply and demand rule the labor market will help you better navigate your future. (07:31)

Mosses and ferns fall into two types: vascular and nonvascular. Vascular means they have tubes running through them that can carry water and nutrients. Non-vascular plants, like liverworts, do not have tubes so they are much smaller. This slide show from StudyJams provides detailed pictures and descriptions of both. The images are set to music while information is printed below the pictures. Other key vocabulary words include: spores, rhizoids, gametophyte, and fronds. A short, self-checking quiz is also provided with this link.

This three-minute video must be watched to the very end....including after the credits to catch the message. It shows a rodent in a treadmill cage trying to catch another rodent he falls in love with at first sight. A great video to teach about not judging by appearances. Kids will love it and it can start great discussions. (03:10)

In this video Huckle and Lowly Worm learn about gravity. Gravity is a force on Earth that pulls things down. Throw a ball high in the air. Gravity won't let it stay there. Now we see why apples fall from the trees. We all would fly away without Earth's gravity. This is a good teaching resource for a thematic/science unit on gravity and Earth. Elementary students will enjoy this video (01:10).

The undiscerning palate, wide jaws and powerful teeth of a tiger shark make it a constant threat to sea turtles. However, the large head and strong, muscular jaws of the loggerhead sea turtle help it fend off fierce predators. In this video segment from Nature, a loggerhead sea turtle refuses to fall prey to the tiger shark and attacks its voracious enemy. Great example of predator/prey relationship. Closed-captioning included. (02:41)

Clouds are made of water vapor and dust. When the water gets too heavy, it falls back to the Earth. Clouds are named according to their shape, such as cumulous, or puffy, stratus, or blanketed, and cirrus, or high and cold. Learn more about the types of clouds with this slide show from StudyJams. Vibrant images are set to music with information written under each photo. A short, self-checking quiz is also included with this link.
