CrashCourse offers many YouTube videos that support various historical topics, such as sociology, world history, and much more!
For as long as Hank has hosted Crash Course, he's wanted to host a series about the history of science. We've been asking big questions for a really long time and we've all wanted to explore how we've sought to answer those questions through the centuries. Questions like, "What is stuff?" and "Where are we?" have inspired people all over the world to investigate. So lets dive in and see how we, as a people, have tried to figure this stuff out.
Crash Course Kids combines the same engaging lecture-style content delivery with animated graphics that focus on grade school science.
Topics include Earth Science, Physical Science, Biology, Geography, Engineering, and Astronomy.
These videos are amazing!
Join Jay Smooth next week for the start of our next miniseries: Crash Course Media Literacy!
Students will explore Newton's laws of motion through a variety of activities, including an investigation that involves collisions.
Beginning Mondays in March, we are bringing you Crash Course Sociology. Host Nicole Sweeney will walk you through questions big and small about how we both shape societies and are shaped by them. We hope you'll join us.
Welcome to Crash Course Statistics! In this series we're going to take a closer look at how statistics play a significant role in our everyday lives. Now this a "math" course, and there will definitely be some math, but we're going to focus on how statistics is useful and valuable to you - someone that performs AND consumes statistics all the time. Statistics are everywhere from batting averages and insurance rates to weather forecasting and smart assistants, and it's our hope that when you finish this series you'll get a better idea of the role statistics play in helping us better understand the world!

This is an activity about impact craters. Learners will experiment to create impact craters and examine the associated features. Then they observe images of lunar craters and explore how the mass, shape, velocity, and angle of impactors affects the size and shape of the crater. This activity is part of Explore! To the Moon and Beyond! - a resource developed specifically for use in libraries.
This site offers tons of games , some for learning and some just for fun .
"What is Creatability?
Creatability is a set of experiments made in collaboration with creators and allies in the accessibility community. They explore how creative tools – drawing, music, and more – can be made more accessible using web and AI technology. They’re just a start. We’re sharing open-source code and tutorials for others to make their own projects."

To begin, divide your students into groups of 4 or 5.
Assign each group a different area to discuss the following criteria:
As a group, come up with these 3 characteristics for your made-up culture. 1. Greeting (How do you say “hi” to each other?) 2. Personal Space (How big is your culture’s personal bubble?) 3. What is offensive to your culture and what is something you value highly?

Graphs and charts are great because they communicate information visually. For this reason, graphs are often used in newspapers, magazines and businesses around the world.
NCES constantly uses graphs and charts in our publications and on the web. Sometimes, complicated information is difficult to understand and needs an illustration. Graphs or charts can help impress people by getting your point across quickly and visually.
Here you will find five different graphs and charts for you to consider.
Create a graph using this site.

This is not a video but a guided step-by-step visual guide.
This is a fun activity for students that collect trading cards. It takes a bit of work, but it is well worth it. Visit readwritethink to create the cards. You will have to be patient, and use screen captures and cropping to print the cards and have students glue them together (unless the site has changed since I last used it!). Train one tech-smart student how to do this, and let them be in charge of helping everyone else that selects this activity if possible. You will probably be restricted to printing your cards in black and white, but then you can always have your students colour them and glue them onto coloured paper to add some colour.
If fussing with the web site does not appeal to you - you could always make your own template as an MSWord document, or have the kids make them by hand instead as well.
An example of a Grade 5 level assignment is included below as well as an example.
