"Crash Course Kids has been my favorite video resource for building background knowledge. Key points are always presented in print, so the videos can always be stopped for discussion and note taking. In an age where students can preview, self-teach and review from a multiplicity of quality of resources, it's important for all of us to start using these resources routinely with our students! "There are also more advanced Crash Course videos featuring Hank Green and the old school Bill Nye vids are also worth using. And of course there are teacher made slideshows for almost any subject out there - from biomes & animal adaptations to advanced chemistry. "The easiest way to bookmark for me is to use the "Watch Later" tab on the Youtube Google app. If your school Internet is spotty, then consider getting one of the freeware Youtube downloaders out there on your PC or Mac at home and bring videos in to school on a thumb drive, some Districts block any software installation to school computers." John Flanagan, 7th grade science, Davidson Middle School

I've just finished viewing the Crash Course Kids video on the difference between weather and climate. Quite entertaining and informative.
