A massive wagon train, made up of 1,000 settlers and 1,000 head of cattle, sets off down the Oregon Trail from Independence, Missouri. Known as the "Great Emigration," the expedition came two years after the first modest party of settlers made the long, overland journey to Oregon. (01:00)

Long before Oregon became a state, black people were in the Far West. Some were brought to the region as slaves, but many others arrived as freemen looking for a new life. They opened boarding houses and stores, worked farms and mined for gold. But as more white settlers arrived over the Oregon Trail, the newcomers passed discriminatory laws to keep African-Americans out. “Oregon Experience” examines the largely unknown history of Oregon’s black pioneers.

Beginning as a trickle in the high alpine meadows of western Canada, the Columbia River flows through great, forested mountains and down desert canyons. Joined by the Snake River, it rolls with increasing force through fertile farmlands, past snow-covered volcanoes, and finally knifes through a mountain range to complete a 1,200-mile journey to the wide sea. This is the grand gateway to the West, pioneered by Lewis and Clark, roamed by fur traders, and traversed by courageous settlers as they forged their way over the Oregon Trail. Our comfortable, small ships, designed for exploring these historic waterways. Their size and maneuverability enable you to travel from the mouth of the Columbia all the way inland to Idaho, more than 450 miles upstream — a voyage impossible for a big ship. Video is good for elementary and middle school students.

The flag of Oregon is the only state flag with different pictures on each side. On the reverse appears a beaver the state animal. Both sides have a field of navy blue with design in gold. The front: a heart shaped shield with an eagle on top, surrounded by thirty-three stars, which is the number of states in 1859. The scene on the shield shows the sun setting over the Pacific Ocean, mountains, forests and a covered wagon. A plow, wheat and pickax represent farming and mining. The eagle represents the United States. On a banner are the words "The Union" representing support for the United States. Finally the flag is emblazoned with the words "State of Oregon" above the picture and the date of statehood "1859" below. The state anthem is “Oregon, My Oregon” words by J.A. Buchanan, music by Henry Murtagh. With this video you can see the flag and hear the anthem. Good for all students.

This video is accompanied by text. "The process of admitting Texas as a slave state was well under way by the time Polk became president on March 4, 1845. One plank of the Democratic platform was thus resolved. In his first annual message to Congress, Polk asserted that the American claim to the entire Oregon country was “clear and unquestionable.” The British, who had refused on several occasions to relinquish any territory north of the Columbia River, now had a change of heart. Their chief fur-trading post had been moved to Vancouver Island, and British Minister Pakenham suggested extending the boundary line from the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific along the forty-ninth parallel. Polk, focusing on settling the Texas controversy and acquiring California, agreed to submit the British proposal to the Senate..."

You can lead students to nutritious food, but can you make them bite? The answer to that increasingly relevant question is yes, if you get creative. At Saint Paul Public Schools, in Saint Paul, Minnesota, the director of nutrition and commercial services for the school district is sharing her personal passion for fresh, healthy food with students. From Portland, Oregon, to Atlanta, school menus are being redone with health in mind, even as budgets shrink and parents tighten their wallets. Managers are finding more appealing types of food to serve and more appetizing ways to serve it. And part of that appeal is education. So, along with their fruits and veggies, many students are now getting a serving of nutrition smarts. Run time 3:35.

This 90-second video looks at fire safety. People cause a lot of fires in our forests. Being safe with fire is important for all of you who recreate in the forest. And being prepared for wildfire is important for all of you who live in the forest. Either way, fire safety is something we should all think about. Right? This is part of a series created by Jordan Benner of the Oregon Forest Resources Institute. (02:04)

From DragonflyTV. Kobel and Nathan have a friend, Adam, who took a skateboarding spill and is stuck with a cast on his leg for weeks. So the boys head to the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, and learn that scientists are using nanotechnology to help regenerate nerves and bones. The nanomaterial keeps the bone together (without a cast) and slowly disappears as new bone grows and takes its place. The boys experimented with different mixtures and put their sponge bones to the test in the bone crusher to find out which mix made the strongest repair. They tested the following mixtures: all nanotubes, all minerals, 10% minerals, 30% minerals and 50% minerals.

At 5:13 a.m., an earthquake estimated at close to 8.0 on the Richter scale strikes San Francisco, California, killing hundreds of people as it topples numerous buildings. The quake was caused by a slip of the San Andreas Fault over a segment about 275 miles long, and shock waves could be felt from southern Oregon down to Los Angeles. (01:00)
