Bill Nye said about the Joy of Discovery is awesome. It is the joy of discovery that makes every human being a scientist. We explore, test, hypothesize and form conclusions. Watch this video with your students to see if they agree with what was said. The images and videos attached to this video are beautiful.
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.
In this short National Geographic science video, we get to take a look at how deadly and awesome some eagles can be. This eagle enjoys reying
on sea snakes. The video's footage is awesome showing how the eagle scans the ocean for prey with it's excellent vision, and then in a single swooping attempt it can pull the snake right out of water. This would be an excellent video to show during a unit on predator and prey relationships.
This is an introduction to population distributions. It talks about the three different population distributions: aggregated, uniform, and random. The video contains neat footage of animals and plants living in different locations of the world.
If you are teaching about how predators and prey interact then this video is awesome. It shows a monitor lizard and a cobra fight and defend themselves while trying to eat eggs. Great introductory video.
This scientific video from BBC is really neat. It shows a few different types of fish that use luminescence to attract prey and obtain their food.
This is an interesting video that describes some problems with the aquatic food web that contains certain types of trout.
This video would be a great one to use if you are going to introduce the food web and predator/prey relationships. It has some great footage of animals chasing each other around.
This is a great video to share in with your students. The video explores some scientific evidence that plants can learn and can remember. But how? They don't have brains. This video demonstrates some pretty unique and awesome behaviors of the plant kingdom.
A hearty bowl of cereal gives you the energy to start your day, but how exactly did that energy make its way into your bowl? It all begins with photosynthesis, the process that converts the air we breathe into energizing glucose. This video details the highly efficient second phase of photosynthesis -- called the Calvin cycle -- which converts carbon dioxide into sugar with some clever mix-and-match math.
