Science Videos

Water covers more than 3/4 of Earth's surface. Watch this animation to learn about the water cycle and how the water cycle affects weather and climate.

Introduce young kids to the physics of sound. Watch this video to learn how objects and animals make sounds with vibrations. Can you think of some other loud and soft sounds?

Did you know most rain in the United States starts as snow? This video explains how water changes state during precipitation, resulting in snow, sleet, hail, or rain.

Explore force, friction, and the movement of objects. This video demonstrates how a student in a wheelchair uses force throughout the day to move objects. Students will learn about contact forces, balanced forces, and unbalanced forces.

Learn about the life cycle of insects. This video explains how caterpillars go through a complete metamorphosis to become a butterfly.

This science video explains the stages in the life cycle of a monarch butterfly.

Watch and learn how scientists use the scientific method to find answers. Do seeds need water to grow? To answer this question, students will make a hypothesis and conduct a science experiment following the steps outlined in this video.

Let's examine bird beak anatomy. Which bird beak can crush seeds – a Heron's or a Cardinal's? Watch the animation in the video to answer this question.

Why does the shape of the moon appear to change? This science animation explains the phases of the moon.

Which cup of kernels will produce the most popcorn? Encourage students to make a hypothesis, then watch the video to see the answer.

Plants grow in different climates. Use this video to compare the growth of the water lily, cactus, orange tree, and morning glory. They are alike and different in many ways.

This video demonstrates how water changes physical state from a solid to a liquid to a gas.

This video demonstrates how magnets attract some metal objects.

Watch this video to learn about food chains. A food chain shows how energy moves from one living thing to another.

Watch this video to learn about light and heat, two forms of energy. Energy makes things move or change.

This animation demonstrates Newton's first law of motion, also known as the law of inertia.

This animation shows several stages in a butterfly's life cycle. Pause the video between each stage to compare stages and make predictions.

This science video demonstrates how a graduated cylinder can help scientists observe and measure the volume of a liquid.

A food chain shows how energy passes from one living thing to another. Watch this video to learn how plants and animals get energy from the sun and each other.

Use this animation to help students visualize the day and night pattern.

Many plants grow from seeds. Watch this video to learn about the life cycle of a tree and a flower.
