Thing #18 YouTube

I think this rap about the Large Hadron Collider is great! It shows the potential for using songs and raps as both a tool to present information and as an assignment for students to show what they have learned.
Show all


This would be a great clip to show mass movement.




There are how to videos for all kinds of things on YouTube. In this video, you can learn how to change a tire on a bike.



This video is about the best dogs ever, Rhodesian Ridgebacks. You have to watch a short commercial first though and embedding is disabled so you have to use a link.

I also checked out Teacher Tube to see if there were any videos I could use for elementary science. You really have to wade through a lot of videos that aren't very good to find something you can use. Makes me think about my own attempts to make teaching videos. I also wondered about some of the clips from commercial videos that were posted. Are they legal? Anyway, the kids that made this video on erosion did a nice job. I can see having students do something like this at the end of a unit. It would be a time hog though so I don't know how practical it would be. Maybe 4th grade could make them in May to review the main science concepts they need to retain for 5th.
