I’ve lost this link, not once but TWICE!  Spent 30 minutes already this morning trying to locate it yet again.  Didn’t have it listed on here, but on my school website.  And I have no idea WHY, since it’s my favorite site to use.

One of the things that kids ask often when studying the interior of Earth is “How do they know that?”  This site explains how we know what goes on inside Earth in pretty easy-to-follow terms.

Found this one on a fellow science teacher’s website and asked where to get it.  Thanks for assist there, my friend!  I’m using TeacherTube because I could embed it from there.  You can find it on YouTube as well, but I couldn’t do the embedding so opted for this instead.  Either way, it’s a great video to introduce Earth Science to your class.

Take a look and see if you can use any of these.  Though I don’t think I’d want to class time to watch all of them, I do think there’s good material here for class use.

Mr. Flick asked that we update his site with a new URL so you could have access to his songs all year round.  He has a link on that page for his Youtube page as well.  Great job, Mr. Flick

Cute songs written by a teacher to help his class remember things.  Very well done.

However, as far as good information in an abbreviated format, this works. It would be another good thing to use for webquests or just during lecture in class.

It’s about locations on earth where we’re learning about our origins as a planet. I’ve listed it under earth and life science for now. It helps to incorporate some geography skills in with the science, which is always nice.

These are the seasons, a regular change in temperature, that repeat themselves every year, more or less regularly….

It even shows how fast they rotate and a comparison to Earth. You may have to install Shockwave Player to run the simulation. Have fun traveling the universe.
