The Busy World of Richard Scarry-Imagine That - Elevator
In this video Huckle and Lowly Worm ride an elevator. An elevator is a machine that moves people up and down. The video shows how an elevator works. Elevators help us to move lots of things. This is a good teaching resource for a unit on simple machines (pulleys, levers, etc.). Elementary students will enjoy this video (1:06).
The Busy World of Richard Scarry-Imagine That - X-ray Eyes
In this video Huckle and Lowly Worm learn about x-rays. If you had x-ray eyes you could see an inside view. An x-ray machine takes a picture to see inside of you. Airports check your luggage with an x-ray machine. This is a good teaching resource to help build background knowledge for elementary and/or special education students. This video would work well in conjunction with a thematic unit on community helpers, health, and the human body. (1:06)
