It’s Tuesday, and time for Science at ClickSchooling! This morning Homeschool Resource is from The Futures Channel
This commercial website provides some free science videos with printable lessons and activities that help make a connection between what students study (math and science) and how scientists, engineers, explorers and visionaries use it to shape the future of the real world.
Age Range: 9-18 (Grades 4-12 approximately, with parental supervision)
This commercial website provides some free science videos with printable lessons and activities that help make a connection between what students study (math and science) and how scientists, engineers, explorers and visionaries use it to shape the future of the real world.
The idea is to inspire kids to consider careers in the science and technology industries. Each week the website features a selection of new movies that are available for free for two weeks. Movies that are available anytime. When you get to the site, you’ll see the currently featured videos. To find other free videos, look under “Real World Movies” on the menu and click on the various topics that include:
- Agriculture
- Animals
- Architecture
- Earth Science
- Environmental
- Science & Technology
- Space Science
- Transportation
- And more!
When you click on a topic, a new page opens with a menu of movies in that category. The free film will say, “Now Playing.” There are about 15-20 free movies available on the site at any given time, and all include downloadable/printable activities to enhance learning. The movies are about 2-6 minutes in length. The movies that are NOT free will say, “Available by Subscription.” You can also purchase DVDs that contain the most popular movies. But you don’t have to buy a thing to access the free videos.
Be sure to check out the “Educator Resources” as well and is a great way to introduce kids to various fields of science and technology and see how applied in the real world.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie, and David Cates
