This short video gives excellent real life, close up footage of young Snowy Owls in their natural environment. Perhaps one of the most instantly recognizable of all owls, the snowy owl is characterised by its distinctive white plumage, which gives it good camouflage against the snow. This is a great resource to help build background knowledge and to help make real world connections between nature and the classroom. (0:39)

Thanks to his mother's support, John Snow rose from humble beginnings as a coal miner's son and apprenticed to a doctor in Newcastle. As a young man, he treated many patients during the cholera epidemic that struck Newcastle. He noticed that the traditional explanation for cholera's spread - miasma from graveyards and swamps - could not explain its appearance in Newcastle where he treated patients. He took that knowledge with him to London, where he formally studied medicine and achieved the highest honors in his profession in only a year. His formal study of anesthesia earned him such great recognition that on two occasions he was trusted to work on the Queen. But then cholera broke out in London again. Snow wanted to prove miasma didn't cause it and find the real cause, so he interviewed patients and doctors across the city. He theorized that the diarrhea which came from cholera also helped to spread it. He even wrote up a case study where one street whose well water mixed with sewage had a huge infection rate while across the street their neighbors with pure well water barely suffered at all. Confident that he had found the cause, he published his findings, but the medical community was not thoroughly convinced. (07:34)

The story of John Snow, the epidemiologist, is one of the most cliche stories in the history of medicine. Very few sources tell the full story of the 1854 cholera epidemic in London and the Broad Street Pump. (30:17)

John Snow's report on the causes of cholera provided yet more evidence of the dangers of filthy cities. Cities had always been unhealthy places to live, generally with a higher death rate than birth rate, but fixing them just wasn't the focus of an agricultural world economy. The Industrial Revolution in the 1700s brought more people to the cities, and suddenly, cities had to grow in order to maintain the vastly expanded manufacturing and shipping operations of the new era. Edwin Chadwick published a report about the sewage in city streets and clearly explaining the need to remove it. His report led to legislation that created local health boards and drove the construction of complex sewer systems. These sewers were massive, expensive undertakings that, even today, remain the foundation of many large modern cities. They reduced diseases across the board and saved countless human lives, part of a legacy that John Snow would be proud of. (06:34)

Maps have the power to change minds, as the 1861 map that convinced Lincoln to end slavery proves. Maps also have the power to save lives. One such map, the John Snow map, ended a cholera outbreak and revolutionized epidemiology. Dr. John Snow’s cholera map of London charted deaths in the Soho neighborhood during the 1854 cholera outbreak. (10:38)

A groundhog bursts into song about hibernation, then a chipmunk sings about semi-hibernation, followed by a duet with a woodpecker. There are also appearances by a butterfly, caterpillar, spider, deer, and hummingbird. Silly song that students will enjoy. Great teaching resource for learning about what animals do in the winter (1:44).

This is a very short video of geese taking off in a field. It is an amazing shot that ends up looking like a wave of birds (one boy shouts "it looks like a tidal wave!" and it totally does). This can be used to compliment the poem "Something Told the Wild Geese" (00:25).

A cute, funny and very short story song based on the rhyming couplet poem by Kenn Nesbitt. The video was created by Eric's wife, Roseann, in a similar style to "The Elephant Song", made simply with MS Paint, a mouse, Sony Vegas Studio and a lot of patience (and some lack of patience!).
