Andy Warhol Napkin Drawing
The subject of this video produced for Antiques Roadshow is a food-stained napkin with doodles of butterflies signed by the late, 20th Century pop-artist Andy Warhol. The napkin may have come from Diana Vreeland, one of Warhol's closest friends back in 1983 and 1984. Kathleen Guzman, appraiser of paintings and drawings, appears confident that the signature is genuine and suggests an astonishing value for the napkin if the owner were to get it authenticated by the Andy Warhol Foundation.

Groundwater Animation
Groundhogs sing us a song about Groundwater. Concepts cover the historical path of water, uses of water and dangers groundwater faces in this 3:43 video. Teachers may wish to have a word wall with those words that students may have difficulty understanding.
Being safe when you cross the road
A one minute cartoon that shows students what precautions to use before crossing a street. The stop, look, and listen message are given. A good introduction to this topic.
How to Use a Compost Bin
There are a couple types of compost bins you can use along with materials such as leaves, flowers and any types of weeds. This two minute video shows how to make and care for a compost bin in your garden. I have one at school that the students use and it provides a great lesson in recycling.
Niger: Feeding the Hungry
Food distribution is one part of NGO strategy to help Nigeriens through crisis times like the 2010 food shortage. As the approach to development changes and development workers look for strategies to reduce native dependency on foreign work, food distributions are changing as well. Some, like this one, have reduced-price strategies as incentive for farmers to practice new planting patterns.
Medical Treatment for Niger's Malnourished
Niger's 15.8 million people are served by a sparse collection of medical staff—about one doctor for every 30,000 people. Some doctors and nurses are Nigerien, trained to help their own; some are from surrounding African countries, and some come from the United States to work with the under-served. From small clinics like the World Vision clinic near Dakoro in eastern Niger to larger hospitals like Galmi, the ill effects of malnutrition color healthcare routines and treatments.

Live like an Animal
In this activity, students design an innovative human shelter that is inspired and informed by an animal structure. Each group is assigned an animal class, and they gather information about shelters used by the animals in that class. After researching the topic and brainstorming ideas, students build small prototypes (models) of the structures. Finally, they present their products, explaining what attribute of the animal structure influenced their design.
