Wild Kratts-Mom of a Croc-Part 2 of 2-Animation
In part 2 of this video, the Kratt Brothers continue their investigation of a mother croc's nesting rituals. A soft shelled turtle lays her eggs where the croc eggs are laid because she knows they will be safe.the crocodile hatchlings call to their mom to rescue them from the nest. Mom is super careful as she picks up the alligator and turtle babies in her mouth and carries them to the water. The brothers save the babies from predators. This is a good teaching resource for a science lesson/unit
Vertical Angles
This video explains how vertical angles always come in pairs. They share a common vertex but they cannot share a side. Vertical angles are congruent, which means they have equal measures. (1:10)
Wild Kratts-Mom of a Croc-Part 1 of 2
The Kratt Brothers explore reptiles such as the Nile crocodile, hippopotamus, monitor lizard, and soft-shelled turtle. Most of this video is an animation about a mother croc. The Kratt brothers watch and discuss the nesting rituals of the mom croc. Facts about nesting are shared. This is a good teaching resource for a science lesson/unit on reptiles and would work well in conjunction with a story/basal on alligators, turtles, and/or reptiles. This is part 1 of 2. (14:06)

American Revolution: The Causes
The American Revolution was triggered by taxes placed on the colonists by the British. This 2:48 long video is a good overview of the events that happened during this time period. The importance of John Locke is explained and the importance of a government working for the people. A good overview, but is not sufficient to provide enough research for more intense study.
Constitutional Amendments Passed and Rejected
The process of creating a constitutional amendment is explained, and recent ratified amendments and rejected amendment proposals are listed along with their dates of ratification or rejection. If you start this six minute video to the two minute section the more useful section starts. There are a lot of interesting facts and a timeline of these amendments might help students understand the subject better. There are a lot of amendments that were rejected that could result in an interesting discus
The Law of Sines
One method for solving for a missing length or angle of a triangle is by using the law of sines. This video describes how the law of sines, unlike the law of cosines, uses proportions to solve for missing lengths. The ratio of the sine of an angle to the side opposite it is equal for all three angles of a triangle. The law of sines works for any triangle, not just right triangles. (00:53)
28 Jan 2011: Crisis in Egypt
Baker Institute founding director Edward P. Djerejian, who previously served as U.S. ambassador to Israel and to Syria, is interviewed by CNN about the riots in Egypt, and what the ramifications might be for the Middle East and the United States.
Corresponding Angles
This video explains how corresponding angles can apply to either two polygons or parallel lines cut by a transversal. In both cases, corresponding angles are in the same position. If the two polygons are congruent, then the corresponding angles are also congruent. If the two lines are parallel, then the corresponding angles created by the transversal are congruent. (1:25)
Alternate Interior Angles
This video describes how alternate interior angles are formed by a transversal intersecting two parallel lines. They are located between the two parallel lines but on opposite sides of the transversal, creating two pairs (four total angles) of alternate interior angles. Alternate interior angles are congruent, meaning they have equal measure. (1:12)
Alternate Exterior Angles
This video describes how alternate exterior angles are formed by a transversal intersecting two parallel lines. They are located "outside" the two parallel lines but on opposite sides of the transversal, creating two pairs (four total angles) of alternate exterior angles. Alternate exterior angles are congruent, meaning they have equal measure. (1:04)
