Researchers at the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Soldier Center in Natick, Massachusetts believe Wi-Fi won’t be able to support the growing number of devices that need a secure internet connection. Luckily, photonic technology, known as Li-Fi, could be the solution, and it will soon be a regular part of your laptop. (3.23)

This video is an entry for the Breakthrough Junior Challenge 2015 which gives a unique visualization of Special Relativity using hyperbolic geometry. (09:35)
I liked the idea of making a video on Special Relativity because I had already explored the use of M.C. Escher’s woodcut Circle Limit III as a teaching tool for explaining the hyperbolic geometry of Minkowski spacetime. The main intuition is that the principle of Relativity asserts that the manifold of frames of reference is homogeneous and isotropic, and there are exactly three geometries associated with this: Sphere (which exists as rotations through space), Plane (which represents Galilean Relativity) and the Hyperbolic Plane (which exists as rotations through spacetime).

This professionally-made music video from They Might Be Giants combines clever, cartoon animation with catchy lyrics to help students learn about the process of photosynthesis. Some of the lyrics include, "Chlorophyll cells take in carbon dioxide. Now that's the air that we breathe out.Combines it with water and exposes it to sunlight and that's how plants can make their own food. Photosynthesis is why plants need light and photosynthesis is why humans need plants. Because through photosynthesis plants make oxygen and humans need oxygen to breathe." (01:58)

This is an animated short 1953 film, with music, adapted from Edgar Allan Poe's short story, "The Tell Tale Heart." Narratied by James Mason, the film has good sound quality and graphic animation (though the screen is black, except for the pinpoint light of one eye, from 3:20 - 4:10). Appropriate for middle and high school students. The film is introduced with the following subtitles: "The film that you are about to see is based on a story told a hundred years ago by america's greatest master of drama and suspense.... This story is told through the eyes of a madman... who, like all of us, believed that he was sane." "A Columbia Favorite," it ends with the mad storyteller behind bars. (07:47)

This seven minute video is an excellent overview of the Greek Gods. A list of the gods so that the students could take notes would be of benefit. Summary:
There are 12 gods and goddesses who reside in Mount Olympus, these gods have influenced everything today such as the battle
of Troy. The War God, Ares, is bloodthirsty and loves war. He is ruthless and feared by many. Another god, Hephaestus, was one of the only ugly gods on Mount Olympus. It is said that Zeus, the god of gods threw him down the mountain because of his unattractiveness. However,he is really powerful and is the god of forges. He crafted the tools and palaces of the Gods. The only god with a mortal parent was Dionyus.He is the god of Wine and Theater. The worlds best poetry was written to him. Apollo was the god of propechy, music, and bow. He is the first god to teach mortals ( us ) to sing and use medicine. Poseidon, one of the big three original gods that defeated Kronos, ruled the Sea. He has a
powerful trident that sets earthquakes and amazing storms to destroy his enemies. Zeus, his brother, is the god of gods and lighting. He has a powerful thunderbolt that can kill anyone including his brother Poseidon. Hermes was the messenger god and the god of thieves and commerce.( interstate commerce! ) Hermes is credited with aiding travelers. The last god is Hades who is the god of the underworld.

Dunk Tank is a math-themed game show created by the producers of Cyberchase and starring Harry from Cyberchase For Real. Using a combination of video and interactive gaming, each program addresses a single topic in the 6th grade math curriculum and students compete with themselves for high scores. Dunk Tank is an independent learning experience for students to complete in 15-30 minutes, depending on their proficiency, and can also be used to support teacher-led instruction. In this interactive, Harry gives an overview of working with fractions, decimals and percents, focusing on how to convert between them. Students play Stop the Pop, a mini-game that challenges students to quickly find equivalent sets of fractions, decimals and percents; watch a light-hearted video about how “50% off” can still lead to major spending; and answer other questions designed to help them further their facility with converting fractions, decimals and percents. Students can access support using a glossary, defining key math terms, and a menu of short segments to re-watch.

Why is it that students can graduate from MIT and Harvard, yet not know how to solve a simple third-grade problem in science: lighting a light bulb with a battery and wire? Beginning with this startling fact, this program systematically explores many of the assumptions that we hold about learning to show that education is based on a series of myths. Through the example of an experienced teacher, the program takes a hard look at why teaching fails, even when he uses all of the traditional tricks of the trade. The program shows how new research, used by teachers committed to finding solutions to problems, is reshaping what goes on in our nation’s schools.

In this program, participants are shown that light energy that has been absorbed by plants during photosynthesis and transformed into chemical energy can now be transferred to other organisms. Energy is contained within food molecules such as sugar and starch made by plants, therefore when animals eat plants, or eat other animals, the energy is passed to them. However, the transfer of energy between plants and animals is inefficient and there are energy losses.

Climactic conditions in each season are not just the result of the tilt of the Earth's axis. In this workshop, they examine the effect of light on the weather. The path of light is followed as it enters the atmosphere, and is absorbed, reflected, and radiated as heat by the land and by the water. A fifth grade classroom is observed as they explore these phenomena.
