This resource is a short film of a Salisbury High School student's summer experience in The Sciences School. Colin explains the program in detail, citing what makes this program a life-long best learning experience. (17:31)
Adding Negative Numbers Using a Number Line
In this video they are showing how to add negative numbers. The first thing they do is to show how to do this using the number line. They show many different examples,some of the examples contain negative numbers. Video is good quality and good for all students as review or initial learning of the concept.
Adding Negative Numbers Using a Number Line
The video starts with a review of general subtraction. Using the commutative property for addition they show how a + b = b + a, then they move into subtraction. When you subtract and you get a negative, you need to add more to the negative number to get the same answer. For example 7 - 2 = 9, so 7+ (-2) = 5 and 7 - 2 = 5, it is discussed what is the same in the last two equations. Adding a -2 is the same as subtracting 2. Other problems are then done. Video is good quality and good for all
Introduction to Order of Operations Part 2
This is a continuation of part 1. The problem they are working on was introduced in part 1, they are working through all the rules of order of operations. They are continue to work on examples. Video is good quality and good for all students as review or initial learning of concept.
Multiplication Facts Song (simple squares)
Mr. R.'s multiplication song about 2 x 2, 3 x 3, 4 x 4, etc.    Memorize these simple square numbers to make learning the times tables easier...see more of Mr. R.'s math resources at http://mathstory.com
A Poem for My Gold Fish
This is a short poem that demonstrates the concept of Phonemic Awareness - Rhyming. At the end of the video there are questions that students answer. Teacher/Parent can stop and discuss. Video is good quality and good for all students as review or initally learning the concept.
Science Olympiad Scrambler Brakes
A common event at Science Olympiad competitions is the Scrambler. The Scrambler must be a vehicle designed to use a falling mass to transport an egg a particular distance that students will be informed of only at the time of the event. This video displays a fairly simple braking system that is very beneficial to student success. Run time :20
Density Current
This segment of the Ocean Odyssey series describes how the salinity and temperature of the ocean increases its density. Produced specifically for students and is suitable for elementary and older students.Â
(This is an Emmy award-winning series of instructional programs that introduces students in grades 3-5 to NASA and integrates mathematics, science, and technology through the use of Problem-Based Learning (PBL), scientific inquiry, and the scientific method. The series seeks to moti
Percent of Increase, Decrease, and Discount
In this video word problems are completed using percent increase, percent decrease, and the amount of percent discount. Â Several examples are modeled using a step by step approach. Â Video is good quality and good for all students as a review or initial learning of the topic.
Applications of Percent
In this video they show to use a percent structure to solve many percentage problems. The structure is "A percent of a total is a portion." Then they break it down into an equation, percentage times total is equal to the portion. They go through a number of examples. The formula is good and can be used at any level, but the word problems are definitely pre-algebra. Video is good quality and good for all students as a review or initial learning of the topic.
Subtraction With Regrouping
This video is an interactive whiteboard presentation demonstrating how to subtract using regrouping (called trading). The video demonstrates subtracting with 10 rods and unit cubes. Very visual learning model. Sound is a bit scratchy. (3:38) Â
Finding Volume using Rectangular Solids
In this video about volume they discuss what volume is, the equation to find volume for a rectangular solid is length time width times height. The problem they do breaks up a figure into different pieces. This what they did, they broke the figure up into three different solids, the first solid is 20 inches by 20 inches. In the second figure they had to figure out the length using subtraction. Then they show you the dimension of the shape. The width for the figure is 3 inches. Then they figured o
Volume of a Cylinder
The Instructor uses an electronic sketchpad to demonstrate how to find the volume of a cylinder. Â This video gives the formula for finding the volume of a cylinder. It then applies the formula to two cylinders that are already drawn on the screen. Video is good quality and good for all students as review or initial learning of the concept.
Volume of a Rectangular Prism
The Instructor uses a geometric electronic sketchpad to demonstrate how to find the volume of a rectangular prism. In this video the formula for volume of a rectangular prism is given. They remind you that a rectangular prism is simply a box-like shape. They then solve two different examples. Video is good quality and good for all students as review or initial learning of the concept.
Volume of a Pyramid
Students learn that the formula for the volume of a prism is length times width times height, so the volume of a prism that has a length of 25 inches, a width of 4 inches, and a height of 9 inches, is 25 times 4 times 9, or 900 cubic inches. Students also learn that the formula for the volume of a cube is side length cubed, and the formula for the volume of a pyramid is 1/3 times the area of the base times the height of the pyramid. Students are then asked to find the volume of prisms, cubes, an
How Old Should Kids Be When Learning to Read?
There are a wide range of ages for children to start learning how to
read, but children usually start learning how to read in the first
grade. Discover ways to teach pre-reading skills to children who are
four or five years old with help from an English specialist in this video.
