Videos/Activities
I recommend students watch a video(s) before I present the topic in class.  I don't spend a lot of time lecturing, so these videos supply some background knowledge for the activities we will do in class.   I recommend all of the Amoeba Sister and Crash Course videos on Youtube.
You'll notice I have many BrainPop videos listed below.  BrainPop is a subscription website that has excellent science videos, as well as history, English, math, arts, etc.  Each video has a quiz and additional learning material associated with it.  Horizon Charter School offers a discounted subscription price.  You do not need to purchase a subscription to BrainPop, I just wanted to let you know about this great site.   Some of the videos are free to watch without a subscription.
