This short video gives excellent real life footage of an Eurasian Crag-Martin at its nest. Belonging to the Hirundinidae, the swallow and martin family, the Eurasian crag-martin (Hirundo rupestris) is perhaps the least energetic of these agile and elegant birds, which are normally known for their supreme abilities in flight. This is a great resource to help build background knowledge and to help make real world connections between nature and the classroom. (0:35)

Astronomers from the University of Maryland, College Park (UMCP) and NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center have uncovered rhythmic pulsations from a rare breed of black hole in archival data from NASA's Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) satellite. The signals provide compelling evidence that the object, known as M82 X-1, is one of only a few midsize black holes known. (02:18)

Though the common ancestor of all modern birds could fly, many different bird species have independently lost their flight. Flight can have incredible benefits, especially for escaping predators, hunting and traveling long distances. But it also has high costs: consuming huge amounts of energy and limiting body size and weight. Gillian Gibb explores what makes birds give up the power of flight. Lesson by Gillian Gibb, directed by Anton Bogaty. (04:31)

This very short video gives excellent real life, close up footage of a Spot-Billed Pelican landing from flight. The spot-billed pelican is relatively small with the typically large bill that characterises this family of waterbirds. These birds have large, expandable throat pouches which are used to scoop up fish from the surface of the water. As their common name suggests, these pelicans possess a spotted bill. This is a great resource to help build background knowledge and to help make real world connections between nature and the classroom. (0:29)
