Note: English subtitles. Some 900 million miles from the Sun in the outer regions of our Solar System orbiting the planet Saturnlies a mysterious world. Enceladus is enveloped in ice. Because nearly all of the sunlight that manages to hit its surface is reflected back into space, its one of the brightest objects in the solar system. It turns out that this distant outpost may harbor subsurface oceans and pre-conditions for life. (18:41)

Like the speed of an advancing race car driver, the winds in the outermost “lane” of Jupiter’s Great Red Spot are accelerating – a discovery only made possible by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, which has monitored the planet for more than a decade. (02:21)

New Horizons is the first mission to the Kuiper Belt, a gigantic zone of icy bodies and mysterious small objects orbiting beyond Neptune. This region also is known as the “third” zone of our solar system, beyond the inner rocky planets and outer gas giants. Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Maryland, designed, built and operates the New Horizons spacecraft, and manages the mission for NASA’s Science Mission Directorate in Washington. The Year of Pluto - NASA New Horizons is a one hour documentary which takes on the hard science and gives us answers to how the mission came about and why it matters. Interviews with Dr. James Green, John Spencer, Fran Bagenal, Mark Showalter and others share how New Horizons will answer many questions. New Horizons is part of the New Frontiers Program, managed by NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. (58:33)

Massive stars fuse heavier elements in their cores than lower mass stars. This leads to the creation of heavier elements up to iron. Iron robs critical energy from the core, causing it to collapse. The shock wave, together with a huge swarm of neutrinos, blast through the star’s outer layers, causing it to explode. The resulting supernova creates even more heavy elements, scattering them through space. Also, happily, we’re in no danger from a nearby supernova. (12:17)

This music video uses upbeat music to help teach the layers of the Earth. The inner core, outer core, mantle, and crust are repeated in the lyrics several times as well as many facts about each layer. Lyrics are not included on the screen. The music style is current and similar to music students are listening to on the radio. (02:45)

Every animal has a color of its own. "Parrots are green, elephants are gray, pigs are pink." But chameleons change color wherever they go. "On lemons they are yellow. In the heather they are purple." One chameleon is not pleased with his changeable appearance. He thinks, "If I remain on a leaf, I shall be green forever, and so I too will have a color of my own." Of course, what he doesn't take into account is the changes wrought by autumn, and soon the green chameleon is yellow, then red, and then tumbled to the ground for the long black winter night. It isn't until he befriends another older, wiser chameleon that our hero begins to find inner peace, even as his outer surface is transformed again and again. This is a great teaching resource as it helps to bring literary characters to life (2:33).

Powers of Ten is an adventure in magnitudes. Starting at a picnic by the lakeside in Chicago, this famous film transports viewers to the outer edges of the universe. Every ten seconds we view the starting point from ten times farther out until our own galaxy is visible only as a speck of light among many others. Returning to Earth with breathtaking speed, we move inward- into the hand of the sleeping picnicker- with ten times more magnification every ten seconds. The journey ends inside a proton of a carbon atom within a DNA molecule in a white blood cell. (09:01)

According to theory of plate tectonics, Earth is an active planet — its surface is composed of many individual plates that move and interact, constantly changing and reshaping Earth's outer layer. Volcanoes and earthquakes both result from the movement of tectonic plates. In this interactive activity produced for Teachers' Domain with images from NASA, see the relationship between earthquakes and volcanoes and the boundaries of tectonic plates.

You are given three red segments and three blue segments, with each blue segment matching a red segment. Each segment can be dragged and rotated. Drag the end point of one segment to coincide with the end point of another segment of the same color; they will snap together. Then drag the end of the third segment of the same color onto a free end of the first two. By rotating the outer segments of your three, you should be able to get their free ends together.

The Golden Rectangle is a plot created by starting with a rectangle, chopping off successive squares, and drawing quarter circles with a radius equal to the side of the square that was cut.
The center of the spiral is obtained by intersecting a diagonal of the largest rectangle with a diagonal of the second-largest rectangle.
Using this virtual manipulative you may:
-Start plotting
-Pause the plotter
-Clear the plot
-Turn the outer rectangle
-Hide the inner squares
-Display the spiral center
-Change the size of the outer rectangle
There are more instructions to the right of the manipulative.

The flag of Indiana is shown against a blue sky. The field of the flag is blue with nineteen stars and a flaming torch in gold or buff. Thirteen stars are arranged in an outer circle, representing the original thirteen states; five stars are arranged in a half circle below the torch and inside the outer circle of stars, representing the states admitted prior to Indiana; and the nineteenth star, is larger than the others and represents Indiana. The outer circle of stars are arranged so one star appears directly in the middle at the top of the circle, and the word "Indiana" is placed in a half circle over and above the star representing Indiana and midway between it and the star in the center above it. Flag adopted 1917. State song, “On the Banks of the Wabash, Far Away” by Paul Dresser. With this video you can see the flag and hear the anthem. Good for all students.

This video takes a voyage into the nucleus into one of the cells of life. The camera goes through the outer cell wall, cytoplasm, and then tiny parts of the cell, but the final destination is the nucleus. Video goes on to explain that there are 23 DNA molecules, these are your chromosomes, 46 and they come in pair. Explains where they come from, content of chromosomes, chromosomes shape, how big a chromosome is, what they look like, and discusses a government website that explains what a chromosome does or causes. This site also shows genetic disease profiles. Also, the video discusses how other creatures have different numbers of chromosomes. Run time 04:15.

This short video gives excellent real life footage of a sea urchin in its natural environment. The purple sea urchin is an aptly named species, easily identified by the strikingly vivid, purple spines that project from its rounded body. These conspicuous spines are attached to a hard outer body wall, known as the ‘test’. Also attached to the test are suckered, tentacle-like appendages, known as ‘tube feet’, which are used in locomotion, feeding and respiration. This is a great resource to help build background knowledge and to help make real world connections between nature and the classroom. (1:09)

Students learn to multiply two binomials together using the F.O.I.L. method: First, Outer, Inner, Last. For example, to simplify (2x + 3)(x -- 5), take the product of the First terms, which is 2x^2, plus the product of the Outer terms, which is --10x, plus the product of the Inner terms, which is +3x, plus the product of the last terms, which is --15. So the problem reads 2x^2 -- 10x + 3x -- 15. Finally, combine the like terms --10x + 3x, to get --7x, so the final answer is 2x^2 -- 7x -- 15.

This short video gives excellent real life, close up footage of a Peppery Furrow Shell in its natural environment in the sandy bottom of ocean. The peppery furrow shell (Scrobicularia plana) is a bivalvemollusc with a thin, flattened, rounded shell. The outer surface of the shell may be white, grey or yellowish, and has fine concentric lines, while the inside is always white. This is a great resource to help build background knowledge and to help make real world connections between nature and the classroom. (0:25)
