Trail of Tears: Cherokee Legacy Native American Indian
May be difficult for some students to understand at the beginning. Mostly images. At best a seven minute video that sets the tone for the forced movement of these Native Americans
Trail of Tears
This student-made video uses artist renderings to tell the story of the Trail of Tears.
Civil War Uniforms: Union
This video shows what the Union soldiers wore and the material that was used.
George McClellan "Who Am I"
This video displays facts about George McClellan. The video can be used to review important facts George McClellan. (Amateur video with loud music.)
The Physics of Pulleys
The science of how the forces on pulleys sort themselves out. English captions are at the bottom of the screen. The words are small so the viewer may want to open the video to 'full screen'.
How Elevators and Pulleys Work
This is a short (01:08), but well-done, simply-animated video (with narration) that shows how elevators and pulleys work.
Our World: How Pulleys Work
In this NASA video segment an aerospace engineer explains how pulleys work and how they are used to lift and transport the space shuttle. (03:07)
Introduction to Momentum - Khan Academy
What momentum is and a simple problem involving momentum. This video, which is suitable for high school students, starts with a black screen because the instructor, in his conversational tone, uses it as a 'chalkboard.' Instructor uses different colors for clarification. Run time (09:18)
Momentum: Ice Skater Throws a Ball - Khan Academy
A simple conservation of momentum problem involving an ice skater and a ball. This video, which is suitable for high school students, starts with a black screen because the instructor, in his conversational tone, uses it as a 'chalkboard.' Instructor uses different colors for clarification. (06:00)
Two-Dimensional Momentum Problem
An example of conservation of momentum in two dimensions. This video, which is suitable for high school students, starts with a black screen because the instructor, in his conversational tone, uses it as a 'chalkboard.' Instructor uses different colors for clarification. Run time 10:35.
Two-Dimensional Momentum Problem (Part 2) - Khan Academy
An example of conservation of momentum in two dimensions is finished in this segment. This video, which is suitable for high school students, starts with a black screen because the instructor, in his conversational tone, uses it as a 'chalkboard.' Instructor uses different colors for clarification. (09:32)
Distance Time Graphs vs. Velocity
this video is an explanation of what velocity time graphs and distance time graphs are and how to interpret them. Thanks to Talal for help in making this video.
Inertia
The rise of Galileo and his fall from grace. Copernicus conjectured that the Earth spins on its axis and orbits around the sun. Considering its implications, a rather dangerous assumption that prompted rather risky questions: Why do objects fall to Earth rather than hurtle off into space? And in this heretical scheme of things in which the Earth wasn't at the center, where was God? Risk
Conservation of Momentum If The Mechanical Universe is a perpetual clock, what keeps it ticking away till the end of time? Taking a cue from Descartes, momentum -- the product of mass and velocity -- is always conserved. Newton's laws embody the concept of conservation and momentum. This law provides a powerful principle for analyzing collisions, even at the local pool hall.
Adding Two-Digit Numbers
This video provides a brief demonstration of how to add two-digit numbers, using 12+19 as an example. (0:55)
Introduction to Addition with Carrying
This video teaches adding a 2-digit number to a 1-digit number with an introduction to carrying. The narrator of the video walks you through the mathematical computations with the Paint Program.
The Cactus - Home Prickly Home
From DragonflyTV. Mark and Alex, are junior docents at the Arizona - Sonora Desert Museum. They do presentations for museum visitors about the plants and animals. This video touches on severa, especially the saguaro cactus. The kids conduct an investigation to see if the holes in the saguaro cactus are always on the same side.
Sedimentary Rocks - by StudyJams
Sedimentary rock is naturally formed in the earth's crust. It is formed when sediment deposits form layers, compact, and then cement together, creating new rock. Sedimentary rocks are used for building materials, and sometimes they even contain fossils. Learn more about sedimentary rock with this slide show from StudyJams. Vibrant pictures are set to music with information written under each photo. A short, self-checking quiz is also included with this link.
National Geographic - How Volcanoes Form
A volcano is an opening, or rupture, in a planet's surface or crust, which allows hot, molten rock, ash, and gases to escape from below the surface. (03:06) This is a clip from a larger segment.
Wind Farms
Farmers look at wind energy as a way of going green.
