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.

This professionally-made video continues the lesson on Chinese word order in a complex sentence. At the beginning of the video, the instructor teaches that location comes before the object in a sentence. Some examples from this section include: There is a cup on the table. There are many painting in his house. There is a lot of snow on the roof. In the second part of the video, the teacher addresses the word "it" in the English language. (02:59)

The water cycle is the constant movement of water through the Earth and its atmosphere. Water on the ground evaporates, becoming water vapor. The vapor rises, becomes clouds, and then falls back to the Earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hail. Learn more about the water cycle with this cartoon animation from StudyJams. A short, self-checking quiz is also included with this link.

This short video is an animation of an apple's journey from the tree to the ground, decaying, sprouting and growing into an apple tree over time. The sun shines, the rain falls, and a tropical season cycle is shown (no snow). There is no narration, so an educator showing this to young students would have to supplement the video with information. This is a great resource to help build background knowledge and to help make real world connections between nature and the classroom. (01:48)

The Earth has four major air masses, two cold ones and two warm ones. When those air masses run into each other, the place where they meet is called a front. Fronts are resposible for all kinds of weather like snow and storms. Learn more about air masses and fronts with this computer animation from StudyJams. A short, self-checking quiz is also included with this link.

This video from ACS features Diane Bunce, Ph.D, professor of Chemistry at Catholic University of America. She demonstrates several holiday activities and experiments, first addressing the procedures for each activity and then discussing the chemistry concept behind it. The activities include: snow globes - viscosity and density, bounding snow balls - polymers and cross-linking, and holiday cards - polar and non-polar reactions. These "holiday" activities could easily be adapted to other times of the year. Although the activities seem appropriate for elementary level, the explanations given by Dr. Bunce are certainly for upper level chemistry classes. (07:37)

The tiny town of Chewandswallow was very much like any other tiny town except for its weather which came three times a day, at breakfast, lunch and dinner. But, it never rained rain and it never snowed snow and it never blew just wind. It rained things like soup and juice. It snowed things like mashed potatoes. Sometimes the wind blew in storms of hamburgers. Life for the townspeople was delicious until the weather took a turn for the worse. The food got larger and larger and so did the portions. Chewandswallow was plagues by damaging floods and storms of huge food. The town was a mess and the people feared for their lives. Something had to be done, and in a hurry. This read aloud is a great resource to help build literary skills in the classroom. (08:37)

This is a short and simple explanation of where precipitation comes from. The video is set in a classroom where a teacher explains about clouds, rain, snow, etc. This would make a great introduction to studying rain. It also compliments the Common Core Test Exemplar poem "April Rain Song" which is about the rain. (01:32)

From the mountains to the coast, this series focuses on the water system known as the Connecticut River, one of 10 designated American Heritage Rivers. Filmed in the ecosystem and supported by The Connecticut River Education Initiative. Water. About three feet of it falls as rain and snow in this part of New England every year. In cities and other developed areas, much of it runs off rapidly, down into catch basins and storm drains, where it races through pipes and discharges into our rivers. In forested areas, it's a different story. Just where this rainwater flows depends on topography. With its hills and valleys, the earth is divided into watersheds or river basins, each one isolated from the next.

There are two basic elements to an avalanche: a steep, snow-covered slope and a trigger that causes a weak layer within the snow pack to collapse. This video segment adapted from NOVA reveals that the shape of the ice crystals of snowflakes within a snow pack is also a critical factor. How well the crystals bond together determines how strong a snow layer is and therefore how stable the snow pack is. Closed captioning included. (04:03)

This is a brief clip (that ends abruptly) of a documentary looking at the wildlife of the most stunning mountain range in the world, home to snow leopards, Himalayan wolves and Tibetan bears. Snow leopards stalk their prey among the highest peaks. Concealed by snowfall, the chase is watched by golden eagles circling above. On the harsh plains of the Tibetan plateau live extraordinary bears and square-faced foxes hunting small rodents to survive. In the alpine forests, dancing pheasants have even influenced rival border guards in their ritualistic displays. Valleys carved by glacial waters lead to hillsides covered by paddy fields containing the lifeline to the East, rice. In this world of extremes, the Himalayas reveal not only snow-capped mountains and fascinating animals but also a vital lifeline for humanity. (01:44) Narrated by Sir David Attenborough.

With more than 29 million cubic kilometers (7 million cubic miles) of ice and snow, the Antarctic Ice Sheet is so massive that its weight depresses the underlying crust by 900 meters (nearly 3,000 feet). New snow that collects on the ice sheet's surface causes the ice beneath it to spread out and move along the slope of the land. In this video segment adapted from NOVA, a team of glaciologists carves into one glacier on the East Sheet to monitor the nature and speed of its movement. Closed-captioning included. (03:33)
