Using breathtaking photographs this virtual tour from the National Wildlife Federation takes students through the world as they learn about beautiful animals while also exploring ways to protect and conserve wildlife.

This virtual tour includes 5 activities and more nature activities to explore.

Produce light by bombarding atoms with electrons. See how the characteristic spectra of different elements are produced, and configure your own element's energy states to produce light of different colors.

Hank begins a series of videos on organ systems with a look at the nervous system and all of the things that it is responsible for in the body.

There’s a question to consider that’s pretty daunting: what is life?
And to try to answer that question, three tools stand out as being especially useful: A book, some experiments, and the microscope! In this episode, Hank talks to us about all kinds of gross things! It's fun!

This week on Crash Course: History of the Scientific Revolution—astronomical anomalies accrued. Meanwhile, in Denmark—an eccentric rich dude constructed not one but two science castles! And his humble German assistant synthesized a lot of new, old, and bold astronomical ideas into a single sun-centered, eccentricity-positive system…

One of the problems with the whole idea of a single Scientific Revolution is that some disciplines decided not to join any revolution. And others just took a long time to get there.

The standard story of the Scientific Revolution culminates with the long life of one man: Sir Isaac Newton—a humble servant of the Royal Mint, two-time parliamentarian, and a scientific titan whose name, along with Einstein’s, is synonymous with physics today.

Hank describes the desperate need many organisms have for nutrients (specifically nitrogen and phosphorus) and how they go about getting them via the nitrogen and phosphorus cycles.

So, what happens to normal stuff (like water) when it goes to not so normal places? What happens if you take a glass of water to the top of Mt. Everest? Or Space? In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina shows us how matter is affected by different pressures and how that make water do some weird things.

North American Association for Outdoor Education offers a rich bank of resources to get students to interact with nature through art and science exploration. There are many cross-curricular activities that can be done in students’ backyards. Some resources include printable material, while others have links to videos and detailed activity guides. While this resource is North American, rather than specific to Canada or Saskatchewan, many of the activities align with Saskatchewan Curriculum.

Each age level find:
- Resource Guides, Lesson Plans, and Teaching Activities
- Interactive Websites
- Apps
- Podcasts & Videos

North Star chronicles the exceptional journey of Laurie Rousseau-Nepton, a young, Quebec-born Innu astrophysicist who’s leading a massive research project at the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope. Drawing on a worldview rooted in a love of nature, as well as her talents as a science communicator, Laurie shares her passion for the study of celestial objects.

Science Background: Substances like Silly Putty are part of a class of materials called polymers. Like other molecules, polymers are compounds, but they are large and may contain tens of thousands of atoms. Compare this, for example, to water, a compound of hydrogen and oxygen that contains three atoms. A good way to visual the difference between small molecules (like water) and polymers (also called macromolecules) is to think of the size difference between a crystal of salt (small) and a strand of spaghetti (larger and longer). Like the strand of spaghetti, polymers are long chains of molecules strung together. These strands can also be tangled up to create a giant mess of polymer chains.

Students in our grade one class find this culminating project a lot of fun as we talk about all the different ways that many recycled materials can be used to create other things that are useful or just plain fun to build! Many of the students create things with the help of the parents, but we ask that the ideas for what to build are supplied by the students themselves, of course parents do like to help with the construction phase in most cases. We have the students come up with the ideas for what they would like to build at school, often using the construction sheet as a guideline to take home for the building
process.

Science Background:
When substances are mixed they may change state or they may change into a new substance completely. Students will observe changes in colour, temperature, volume, and state in this activity.
Materials: 50mL graduated cylinder, bromothymol blue indicator, 3 resealable bags, 2 spoons or scoopulas, baking soda, calcium chloride powder

One of the many things that make Ocean School's content library so special is how our content spans across a wide range of subjects. In the same learning resource, students can learn different concepts related to science and technology, English language arts, social studies, mathematics, and more.

Discover lesson activities, PowerPoints, videos, mp4 clips and much more!

For grades 5-6, 7-8, 9+.

This webpage, one of NASA's fact sheets, describes the role of the oceans, clouds, and aerosols in moderating climate, which has resulted in less-than-expected temperature increases as carbon dioxide levels have increased. It also describes the efforts of scientists to construct computer models to understand interactions between the atmosphere and ocean, and to perform space-based oceanography using the Earth Observing System (EOS). The site features text, pictures, and links to other relevant NASA sites.

New York Times bestselling author Bill Nye shows you how thinking like a nerd is the key to changing yourself and the world around you.

Science is the process and the body of knowledge that enables us humans to know nature. So far, it’s the best idea we’ve ever had.

Website includes books, documentary, shows and much more.

Farmer's almanac for kids... Date, weather, moon phases, night sky, jokes and fun, time travel, animal lovers, weather watch and more. There are free stories and cool activities to explore.

Hank veers away from human anatomy to teach us about the (mostly) single-celled organisms that make up two of the three taxonomic domains of life, and one of the four kingdoms: Archaea, Bacteria, and Protists. They are by far the most abundant organisms on Earth, and are our oldest, oddest relatives.
