Understanding energy usage requires knowing more than how much energy it takes to charge your cell phone. Scholars learn each text sent uses energy as does each video, game, and phone call. They observe the larger grid of data transfers...

Introduce middle school scientists to scientific variables and the scientific method with a musical video. The song is a delightful parody of One Direction's "What Makes You Beautiful." It belts out the definitions of controlled,...

No one wants to be average, so mathematicians use the term mean instead of average. The video explains how to calculate the mean, how to calculate the percent error, and why this information is important. Finally, the video considers the...

How can your class determine the relationship between experimental data? Learners discover how to express direct and inverse relationships through examples and sample problems in a video. The narrator takes data from tabular to graphical...

How do chemists use solubility data? Chemistry scholars learn the usefulness of solubility curves and how they are generated. The seventh part in a series of 14 discusses the solubility rules, plotting solubility data, and how pupils can...

The third practice in the Next Generation Science Standards applies analyzing and interpreting data. The video explains why this is important to scientists and many different ways to organize data. Then it moves on to discuss how to...

It's story time! Show your class how to use a distance-time graph to tell a story. They learn to draw and analyze a graph using distance and time data. The story then continues to compare velocity and time. 

Have scientists considered that the sun heating up might be a cause of global warming? The sixth of seven videos on the factors that affect the climate explains and tests this theory. It includes data collected from satellites, weather...

With so much information floating around about global warming, how can we tell what's really going on? Examine the evidence through a video from Veritasium to sift through everything we hear. The narrator presents convincing data when...

As we get older, we age, our bodies and minds deteriorate, but this isn't true of all species. The video begins with why we age and what biological processes cause aging. Then it covers research on worms, mice, and other animals that...

A conversion graph makes quick work of determining unit conversions. A video lesson demonstrates how to create and use a conversion graph. Learners then demonstrate their understanding with provided practice problems.

Rain, rain go away, come again another day! Learn to observe and track the weather in a weather journal. Young meteorologists learn the basics of how to get started and the tools needed to be successful.

Do meteorologists and climate scientists use the same tools? The final lesson in a 13-part series on Exploring Energy compares and contrasts climate and weather. It describes the scientists who study each, the tools they use, their...

Chances are you benefit from computer algorithms every day. Viewers learn about algorithms and how they can be useful in sorting. They watch as the narrator sets up and uses a selection sort, a merge sort, and a graph search algorithm in...

The Next Generation Science Standards list obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information as the eighth practice. Explaining the importance of reading and understanding scientific information, a video on the NGSS stresses...

Some scientists believe the earth is already over its carrying capacity for humans. The video explains what a carrying capacity is and the limiting factors to consider. It also teaches how to calculate growth rate, interpreting growth...

What is coral bleaching? Tackle a trendy topic with a narrated animation. Through a combination of video and illustration, the narrator introduces viewers to a coral reef, then goes inside a coral polyp to show its symbiotic relationship...

More carbon dioxide exists in the atmosphere than ever in human history. An informative video introduces the topic of global warming as part of a larger playlist. It looks at possible causes such as Earth's orbit, Earth's moving axis,...

Linear scales are the standard that most graphs and data use. Converting data to a logarithmic scale can be tricky, but a video presentation thoroughly describes the process. Using visual imagery and specific examples, the lesson...

How many hours should be in a day? One species of drosophila naturally prefers a 24.5 hour day, while another strongly prefers a 19-hour day. An animation and graph share data from each of these species when exposed to the typical light...

In 1896, Svante Arrhenius discovered the connection between human carbon dioxide emissions and global warming. Over 100 years later, it is worse than he predicted, yet the science continues to support his findings. Now we know there are...

Nuclear energy saves more lives than it harms. A powerful video explains the great things about nuclear energy and why we should increase nuclear power plants. It highlights the benefits for global warming and a new way to make nuclear...

While scientists seem to agree about global warming, is it just related to increases in air temperature? The video explains that global warming is related to ground temperature, air temperature, and, most of all, ocean temperature. It...

With a human population of 7.6 billion and counting, how do we tackle the population problem? Examine the data using a video from an extensive science playlist. The resource explains why the human population began to increase rapidly,...
