Year On Earth
A year on earth is measured by one complete trip around the sun. Seems simple enough but there is a problem. The earth doesn't travel in a path around the sun that returns it to its starting point. So how do we know when the year starts or ends? This video answers that question by describing the various way a year is measured. Video is of good quality and is appropriate for middle elementary school, middle school, and high school. Run time 09:28.
Shadows, Lunar Phases, and Eclipses
This animation shows several angles of the rotation of Earth, the orbit of the Moon about the Earth, and the orbit of the Earth-Moon about the Sun. The appearance of both the Sun and the Moon can be affected by the shadows cast by the Earth and the Moon in the sunlight. Because the Moon’s orbit has a slight tilt (with respect to Earth’s orbit around the Sun), usually the New Moon misses the Sun in the sky and usually the Full Moon misses the Earth’s shadow.

Digestive System
The digestive system controls the chemical and mechanical breaking down of food into molecules that can be used throughout the body. It includes organs such as the esophagus, stomach, and small and large intestines. There are two stages to the digestive system: mechanical and chemical. Mechanical digestion involves the physical breakdown of food while chemical digestion uses enzymes to break the chemical bonds holding polymers together. (05;20)
Digestion Questions
This ten minute video is an animation of a "game show" called "Digestion Questions." The characters are cliche'd and over-exaggerated high school students (the cheerleader, the slacker, and the nerd), and the purpose is comedy-learning. I recommend you consider muting the sound and stop the video after each question and ask the students to answer before the character provides it. The voices of the characters could be distracting.
