CK-12, a website that provides free materials for educators and students across grade levels. This link goes to a new series of physics simulations. However, if you work with students and are interested in finding great free resources that include video, text, audio, images, quizzes and interactives then it is worth your time to explore CK-12.

Beth Dichter's insight:
How well do you know science? How about misconceptions in science that many believe are true? This video will help you (and your students) discover 50 misconceptions in science. If you use it with a class you may want to spread it out over a few days and allow time of discussion!

Climate change is complex. An increase in CO2 causes the earth to warm up, but is that a bad thing? And what does it mean to the Netherlands? Studio Lakmoes designed…
Beth Dichter's insight:
Climate change may still be a controversial subject in some areas. This short video provides a clear explanation about climate change. With the celebration of Earth Day later this month you may find this useful to share in your classroom.

Nurdles are the tiny, factory-made pellets that form the raw material for every plastic product that we use, from toys to toothbrushes. And while they look pretty harmless on land, they can really wreak havoc on our oceans. Kim Preshoff details the nurdles’quest for ocean domination, shedding light on the particular features that allow these pervasive polluters to persist for entire generations.
Beth Dichter's insight:
Have you ever heard of a nurdle? Do you know how they are impacting the ocean and the potential consequences of them? This TED-Ed video shares the history of nurdles (they date back to the 1900s) and their impact on the ocean, and our lives. This topic is one that many students would understand and they could develop a plan to educate their community about nurdles and what can be done. There are many resources provided in the Dig Deeper session that would allow students to explore and learn more. If you teach science, or are looking at issues that impact the globe in social studies, or are interested in teaching students about global issues that have a range of impacts this would be a great place to start.

This video may change the way you view the sun. For the last five years NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) has been taking images of the sun and this video provides views that are breath taking. I have shown this video to students from kindergarten through grade 7 and all want to see it again. There are amazing images with music, and very few words. Try to find five minutes in your day to watch this, and chances are you will find yourself forwarding the link to others.
Quoting from NASA "Watch the movie to see giant clouds of solar material hurled out into space, the dance of giant loops hovering in the corona, and huge sunspots growing and shrinking on the sun's surface."
