I find this a good video to show to help students to better understand Endagered Species and their impacts. This short clip explains population and impacts on protecting endangered species. This is a powerful way to connect several concepts that are difficult understand how they impact one another.

In the rural town where I teach, a TESLA chargint station has been installed this summer. During this school year, I plan to use this map to teach and discuss charging stations and alternative fuel vehicles.

This is a great activity that can be adapted to any major river. I have done this with students of all ages. A great way to introduce Non-Point Source Pollution. I have used this demonstration with all age groups and it has a powerful impact.

I use this site when beginning Nuclear power to show students where Nuclear Power Plants are located. Students may not know where Nuclear Power Reactors are located. As students view the map, we will discuss why they believe the plants are located in various area and not in others.

I use this site for both my Envirothon team and my APES class. In APES I will have students list all the products they can think of that come from a forest. Using this site, we will check their answers and discuss differences how and why the items made the list.

I use this to introduce students to the current population and discuss the difference between the world clock and the USA clock.

I use this to relate non-point pollution, source water resources and hazards to water resources to students. This hits home due to the fact it was in our state and a large part of the state was impacted by this leak.

This is a great example to show students Mountaintop removal.

This was a good video to show the impacts of a nuclear disaster. I use this video to show several major concepts. The dangers of nuclear power, if not maintained, as well as ecological succession. Class discussion will follows on what will happen in the future to this site as well as to the plants and animals that live and feed in Chernobyl.

This is a good short video to explain Fracking to students. Fracking can be challenging to teach. This short TED-Ed video provides an introduction to this type of extraction. Discussion questions are provided to help guide students misconceptions.

This is a good activity to use before and after students go to a stream to assess the macro-invertebrates and their toleration levels. I find this resource beneficial when discussion water quality and ecology. If you are able to take students to a stream, this could be used as an introduction to what they can see. If a stream is not available, then this can be used to teach students what is in a stream and what they can tolerate.

I use this site to teach both Envirothon teams about Soils. I use this for APES students on how to read a soils map, as well the soil science basics.

This is an excellent demonstration for soil erosion. Soil erosion can be a difficult concept for students to understand. This visual demonstration allows students to see and experience erosion and various erosion factors. Follow-up designs could entail how to reduce erosion and design experiments for the ideas.

I find this a teaching tool for endangered species with discussion following about the effects of DDT on Eagles. I will show the Eagle pairs beginning in Feburary and weekly until the "babies" fly from the nest. We will also have discussions if the eggs do not hatch and why that happened.

This is a great visual for my students on the absence of water in parts of the world. Tremendous discussion following this short clip. In a water rich area, this video clip made a tremendous impact on my students views of water resources.
