Southern School Desegregation 1957-1962: Interviews
This 3:28 long video features Jefferson Thomas, one of the "Little Rock Nine," narrating what it felt like to be the first black students at Little Rock's Central High School. The video shows white mobs, paratroopers patrolling the streets, and soldiers escorting black students into Central High School. Elizabeth Eckford, another of the nine pioneering students, describes the treatment she received, while footage of the crowds around her is shown. This is an exceptional video to show students ab
The Money Masters, 2/2
This is a lengthysecond episode of Part 1 of the YouTube video (01:46:21) that discusses the U.S. debt and the U.S. Banking system. There are some controversial statements in this video. This information would have be clarified by a high school economics instructor.

Look It Up
This video segment from Between the Lions features a catchy song that celebrates an important function of literacy: access to information. It also shows the wide world of print, and all of the knowledge that can be gained from it.
Predicting Earthquakes
This video segment, adapted from QUEST, describes the extraordinary research that scientists are doing to help demystify and possibly better predict earthquakes.
Garden of Eating
Students are asked how poor weather conditions affect the cost of fruits and vegetables.
Testing Intelligence
In this video segment from Nature, scientific experiments test how ravens think.
The Grand Challenge
This lesson introduces the MRI Safety Grand Challenge question. Students are asked to write journal responses to the question and brainstorm what information they will need to answer the question. The ideas are shared with the class and recorded. Students then watch a video interview with a real life researcher to gain a professional perspective on MRI safety and brainstorm any additional ideas. The associated activity provides students the opportunity to visualize magnetic fields.
Model Greenhouses
Students learn about the advantages and disadvantages of the greenhouse effect. They construct their own miniature greenhouses and explore how their designs take advantage of heat transfer processes to create controlled environments. They record and graph measurements, comparing the greenhouse indoor and outdoor temperatures over time. Students are also introduced to global issues such as greenhouse gas emissions and their relationship to global warming.
Energy Basics
Demos and activities in this lesson are intended to illustrate the basic concepts of energy science -- work, force, energy, power etc. and the relationships among them. The "lecture" portion of the lesson includes many demonstrations to keep students engaged, yet has high expectations for the students to perform energy related calculations and convert units as required. A homework assignment and quiz are used to reinforce and assess these basic engineering science concepts.

2 Comparison of flexibility in the national curricula in England, Wales and Scotland In order to compare the two curricula we need to consider the issue of flexibility. The flexibility of interpretation of literacy frameworks and guidelines by teachers, schools and local education authorities appears to us to be the clearest identifiable difference between these literacy curricula. Adams has compared the process of development of national curriculum guidance across the UK: The 5–14 Programm Talking and listening The emphasis on talking and listening in English Language 5–14 was greeted with genuine surprise in schools, despite policy documents since 1965 advocating the importance of planned contexts for talk and of accepting and developing the language children bring to school. Improved standards in talking and listening, measured by AAP surveys and a selection of HMI school reports, came when teachers corrected the mismatch between their practice and the balance required by the Guidelines.<
