How many times to we tell our children to put on warm clothes during the
winter so that they won't get a cold? This video does an excellent job visually presenting and discussing the effects of the common cold. Why are we really more likely to get sick in the fall and early winter? What is causing the illness to spread so easily during the cold season?
In this science video, we see how a mosquito behaves, a little bit about the history of mosquitoes, and the possible side effects from a mosquito's bite or sting. If you are teaching a science lesson on parasites, then this video would be a good one to introduce the blood sucking mosquito.
This video explores why some people get allergies more often then others. What are allergies anyway? Did you know that people with good hygiene are more likely to form allergies or that having a pet as an infant might actually help you avoid getting allergies?
