Finding Points on a Grid Using Ordered Pairs (Coordinates)
In this video, I show you how to plot and locate points on a grid
using an (x,y) coordinate system, also known as ordered pairs. I also
show you how grids are divided into quadrants and how each quadrant has unique characteristics.
Metric Prefixes
In this video the vocabulary,prefixes, of the metric system are discussed. The prefix's meaning is discussed and applied to different numbers. The equivalents are written as fractions, decimals, and scientific notation. Video is good quality and good for all students as a review or initial learning of the topic.
Francis Bacon "Of Studies - Purpose & manner" Recitation animation
Here is a virtual movie of the great Sir Francis Bacon (1561 - 1626) philosopher and statesman and a pioneer of modern scientific thought reciting his essay on his thoughts on the true value of reading "Of Studies - Purpose & manner". Bacon was a radical on the subjects of learning and education. Knowledge in his time was considered to be a static, timeless thing worked out in the isolated contemplation of classic texts (especially those of
American History: The Great Compromise
The "Great Compromise" established the two houses of Congress, allowing the Constitution to be signed and this video help explains how this came about. Poor graphics and lacks any indepth insights. Students need to have help understanding the checks and balance system as well.
America Gets a Constitution: Now What?
After several failed attempts at creating a government, a 1787 convention is called to draft a new legal system for the United States. This new Constitution provides for increased federal authority while still protecting the basic rights of its citizens. This is an excellent video that goes beyond the textbook and shows the changes needed for the Constitution to exist.

2 of 5 -- The Universe - Secrets of The Sun
A quote from the movie: "The sun is the superpower of our solar system, a thermonuclear blast furnace, erupting with massive explosions. At 93 million miles away it would seem that we are safe from the sun's wrath. But are we? With some experts predicting the most violent outbreak of solar activity in modern history it has never been more important to understand the secrets of the sun." This documentary is suitable for older elementary, middle school, and high school students.
Ruminants
How is it that cattle, goats, and deer can grow strong and healthy on a diet consisting of little more than grass and leaves? This video segment explores the incredible efficiency of the ruminant digestive system, a set of adaptations that have allowed these animals to become the most dominant plant eaters on earth. Closed captioning. Run time 03:56.
History of Measuring Systems
Live action movies describing the history of measuring systems. The development of measuring systems is a great human accomplishment. The early Egyptians created a unit of length, the cubit, based on the human forearm. The English and others, used the human foot and grains of barleycorn to measure length. The metric system started with an fascinating attempt to define the metre using time. The metre evolved through a number of incarnations many involving distances taken from the planet. Today
U.S. Customary and Metric Units
In this video Sal Khan discusses the standard units of the United States and the metric system used in many other countries. (05:10) The instructor uses computer software for demonstration.
Metric Unit Conversions
Students learn that in the metric system, all measures of length are based on meters. For example, a centimeter is 1/100 of a meter. And all measures of weight are based on grams. For example, a kilogram is 1000 grams. And all measures of volume are based on liters. For example, a milliliter is 1/1000 of a liter. Students are then asked to solve problems using conversion factors, such as 4,500 milligrams = ____ grams.
Metric Conversions - Shortcut Method
Video shows a fun way to convert numbers in the metric system. Videos gives a way to remember the way to convert.
Basics of the Metric System
Examine the basic units of the metric system as taught by a math teacher. This video starts with the history of the metric system, then shows how they got the rest of the metric system. Video is good quality and good for all students as a review or initial learning of the topic.
5 of 5_The Universe-Jupiter
A quote from the documentary: "Four hundred million miles from Earth exists a mini solar system of over 60 moons rotating around a powerful planet of gas. Its glowing colors and spots hold strange beauty, but contain violent storms and jet streams. Could one of its moons harbor life beneath its icy crust? Does our own planet owe its survival to this massive comic magnet?" This documentary is suitable for older elementary, middle school, and high school students.
Algae Biofuels As America looks for new alternative fuel sources, biodiesel from algae offers a new and innovative solution.  America uses 180 billion gallons of oil for transportation systems and it is starting to harm the Earth. Wind, solar, and hydrogen energy forms are impractical due to size, scale, and cost of locations. This video discusses how the best alternative fuel is bio-fuel. Ethanol’s from corn and crop based biodiesel have p
Solar Power 101 - How Does Sunlight Turn into Electricity Video is short but gives a thorough explanation of solar photovoltaic systems. How do they work? Sunlight is captured and converted from light to electricity. The electricity that is made from the convertor is DC (direct current) and needs to be changed to AC (alternating current) by an inverter. Batteries are attached to the inverter to provide electricity to the house when there is no sun. The inverter provides the electricity
Solar Technology GE researcher Vlatko Vlatkovic discusses solar technology development at GE from the roof of GE's global research center in New York. It is a solar panel test set up. He shows a silicone solar cell and explains how the sun hits the cell and is converted to energy. He explains that the system is still very expensive and not very attractive and how they are trying to produce a more efficient, less expensive, and a better looking u
