Wolf Pack Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I know there are probably some great resources for history/science/art/math/Shakespeare etc on YouTube or other video sites, but it's overwhelming to try to dig them out. Got any favorite channels or videos for your elementary kids? This isn't super "educational" but my k5 and 7 year old love doing the art hub for kids drawing videos 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cintinative Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 (edited) I have not personally watched these but someone I know just mentioned they use these for a history supplement: Crash Course History (not to be confused with Drive thru history). It's free on Youtube. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBDA2E52FB1EF80C9 World History I Ugh. Just started watching video 1 and there was a sex reference.

zarabellesmom Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 (edited) I'm not going to do links because I'm on my mobile and it would be a pain, but a basic youtube search will turn up our favorites: SciShow Kids SciShow Space It's OK to be Smart Crash Course Kids All of the videos are science related (our favorite) and are pretty short. We use them to start our day over breakfast. What I need are some ideas for history videos that are short (10 minutes or less) and would appeal to my youngest--age 8. She's pretty sensitive to violence and doesn't like to read about history. Anybody have any ideas?

fralala Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I found Art with Mati and Dada on the recommendation of someone on these forums, and my kids love it. They also love the Art for Kids Hub. I love that I can get the old Schoolhouse Rock videos on Youtube, and the kids get a kick out of them. Other than that, I mostly lean on it for French resources-- Bookbox and Monde des Petits. I am really excited to try the science recommendations listed by PPs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cintinative Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 We watched these when we did Physics. He's quirky and I think that is fun. Unfortunately I am not seeing all the videos on YouTube. I think I got some elsewhere on the web. Dr. Carlson Science Theatre I really like the Coursera How Things Work course by Bloomfield for Physics as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saddlemomma Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I use these for my DD (going into 8th): One Minute Apologist Spirit of Health - these were used during DD's Medicinal Herbs class last year. Crash Course - Astronomy, History, (World, US), Economics, Govt/Politics, Philosophy, Psychology, Anatomy/Physicology, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Ecology) History Tube: History, Science, and Educational Documentaries Discovery Science Reasonable Faith & Dr. Craig Videos - Apologetics, Philosophy, Worldview Reasons to Believe - Science Apologetics Stand To Reason - Classical Christianity, Philosophy, Worldview Artists Network Beyond Science - DD loves mysterious phenomena, so I include a couple each week that pertain to our science (like black holes and such; not the ridiculous ones) Christian History Made Easy Ancient History Socratica: Educational Videos Fast Break Spanish - we will start using this year. Learn Classical Hebrew Brightstorm - high school study videos - I use some now and will be prepared for HS Minute Physics Dwane Thomas - we don't do Latin anymore, but thought someone may like this. MIT K-12 MyWhyU - Pre-Algebra & Algebra Naked Bible Channel - Dr. Michael S. Heiser; Hermeneutics Dr. Ryan Reeves - Historical Theology for Everyone Sick Science: The name explains it all! Yes, it's a lot, but I don't use all of them all the time. DD is very visual. I just draw from the list sporadically to add interest and something different for DD. However, I do use the Apologetics sites quite a bit to facilitate understanding of a concept. In addition, DD LOVES Dr. Heiser, so I try to include his lectures in her Bible/Apologetics studies regularly now. I hope some of you can use them too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garga Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Bill Nye the Science Guy. Search for them by "Bill Nye the science guy TITLE". Fill in the title of the episode to find them. You can get a list of the titles on wikipedia. Sometimes they're hard to find, unless you know the title and then it's a snap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bensonduck Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 We have recently begun enjoying The Singing Grammarian - Koine Greek declensions and conjugations set to music. Very well done and the songs are amusing.
