This is a video clip from "Adaptations", a 14-minute award-winning elementary life science video produced by the Visual Learning Company. This brief clip gives an overall view of what animal adaptations are, and how they are different for different species of animals. Examples include herbivores with flat teeth, carnivores with sharp teeth and claws, and plants with broad leaves to capture sunlight. Run time 01:43.

In this interactive activity adapted from the National Arbor Day Foundation, explore the intricate life of a tree. The trunk of a tree functions as both a supporting structure and a pathway, transporting food down from the photosynthesizing leaves and conducting water and minerals up from the roots. Look inside a tree to learn about the xylem, cambium, and phloem, and to see how the tree's rings provide a record of the environmental factors that affected its growth and life cycle.

Mrs. Matthews science classes are studying plant and animal classification. Their centers for the week included (1) a pictionary game (2) flashcard game (3)pictures to help them remember the difference between gymnosperm and angiosperm (4) a video titled "science: animals without bones" (5) A.R. books on various vertebrates and invertebrates and (6) several interactive websites. The students also observed a deer skull, turtle shell, snake skin, tarantula skin, moss, celery, and lichens. Their weekly experiment included putting celery in colored water and observing as the vascular tubes carry water up to the leaves. (04:27)

This video addresses irregular plurals using "ves". Words that end in "f"or "fe" have the plural "ves". The examples given are half-halves, wolf-wolves, shelf-shelves, life-lives, knife-knives, leaf-leaves, scarf-scarves. This is a great resource to introduce and/or review plurals in the elementary classroom. (01:30)

Nature in Your Backyard - Earthworms are like tiny compost factories they eat dead leaves and put out rich organic soil. They also mix up the earth and aerate it. They are also hermaphroditic, which means they are both male and female. (02:18)
This video could be used to compliment the suggested reading material Earthworms by Claire Llewellyn.

Non-vascular plants have no true roots, leaves, stems, or flowers. They also have no internal circulatory system for bringing water to the various parts of their bodies. Therefore, non-vascular plants are typically found in very wet places. This video gives a brief overview of two non-vascular plants, mosses and liverworts. (00:50)

Al Khazneh, one of the ancient world's most magnificent ancient mega-structures, is the subject of this five-minute video. This is an interesting video that explains how this structure was discovered, but leaves unanswered many questions as to why it was built and who were the people who built it. The structure is in Jordan. (05:05)

This super simple song "Rain, rain, Go Away!" is very cute and young students will enjoy watching and singing to this video. It shows that Mommy wants to play (tennis), Daddy wants to play (golf), Brother wants to play (basketball), Sister wants to play (net), Baby wants to play, All the Family wants to play. At the end the storm cloud person leaves and the sun shines. This is a good teaching resource for young students, special education students, and/or ESL students. This video would work well in conjunction with a thematic unit/lesson on Earth, Seasons, Weather, Calendar activities, and/or sight words. (02:27)

Carnivorous or insectivorous plants are plants (producers) found in places with very poor soil.
The solution selected throughout evolution was to obtain nitrogen (N) from small animals captured by modified leaves.
Each species has selected different structures and strategies to capture animals that provide it with the necessary nutrients.
The Dionea muscipula has modified leaves that close and hold the prey until it is digested / broken down. There is no narration, just music. (06:13)

This short video gives excellent real life footage of a Venus Fly Trap. Students will enjoy the sights of this amazing carnivorous plant in its natural environment. The Venus flytrap is perhaps one of the best-known and most awesome plants. Its leaves are modified in an extraordinary way in order to feed on insects, although it does still obtain energy from the sun. This is a great resource to help build background knowledge and to help make real world connections between nature and the classroom. (0:37)

The young turtles must make a run to the water and hide out to protect them from predators. They are found in the Atlantic Ocean region. They are programmed to find the ocean and their is no mother to guide them. Females may return to the same spot to lay eggs. Males will never leave the water. Predators are everywhere and the turtles can make themselves look like leaves. Students will learn many facts about loggerhead turtles in this video. This is a great teaching resource for elementary/middle school students. This video would work well in conjunction with a thematic unit and/or science lesson on reptiles, oceans, pollution, and/or life cycles. This would also be a super resource for building background knowledge. (2:49)

This video segment adapted from NOVA scienceNOW explains how geophysicist Klaus Lackner and two engineers, Allen and Burton Wright, teamed up to develop a technology to capture an important greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide (CO2), in the air. Modeling their design after a tree—and one of Lackner's daughter's science experiments—the team tested different materials, configurations, and coatings that together would act as leaves do to remove CO2 from the air. However, instead of mimicking photosynthesis, their process uses a manufactured fabric that attracts CO2 and pulls it out of the air for subsequent storage. Closed captioning included. (05:25)
