"This video uses working simple machines to demonstrate how to calculate mechanical advantage. Suitable for any school program involving simple machines. Demonstrates pulley systems including a chain block."

"This demonstration shows pupils how the seasons on Earth are due to the Earths angular tilt and its orbit around the Sun. It also shows how you can demonstrate the seasons with easy experiments in the class room."

"A junior science class demonstrates a lesson about multicelular organisms using glove puppets with a constructivist approach to problem solving and a blended learning model. This activity has even been adapted by the teacher Roland Gesthuizen to help explore complex topics including technology issues such as cyberbullying, privacy, programming, copyright, freedom and ethical behaviour whilst improving their literacy and social skills. This is a very engaging way to quickly assess student understanding using some simple technology and computer skills without the need for sophisticated digital equipment."

"Demonstration of "Herd Immunity"

"This very popular Information and Communications Technology conference runs annually. The conference program caters for upper level primary and secondary teachers. The conference showcases the most recent information and communications technology used in the science classroom. New teaching and learning ideas and software demonstrations combine with hands-on interactive sessions to give you new ideas, strategies and methods ready for use with your students."

"Students will build a lung model to learn how their lungs and diaphragm work to make them breathe. The lesson features a demonstration on how incomplete combustion of fossil fuels releases particles into the air that can negatively affect human health, and how we can protect ourselves from these effects."

"Tel-Aviv University demos quantum superconductors locked in a magnetic field (www.quantumlevitation.com). For an explanation of the physics behind this demonstration, visit www.quantumlevitation.com/levitation/The_physics.html."

The National Institute for STEM Education (NISE) certifies teachers, campuses, and districts in STEM teaching using a competency-based, academic coach-led online learning platform in which educators produce a portfolio of work that demonstrates proficiency across 15 STEM teacher actions.

Demonstrate moon phases with oreos. Plus other phase ideas.

The blog of science communicator Bill Nye. The site is full of science activities and experiments to try, with video demonstrations and things to download for your class.

"At the Exploratorium, we dissect cow eyes to show people how an eye functions, and look at the parts that make up an eye. In this video, one of our staff Explainers demonstrates a cow eye dissection."

Students play the role of birds, go out on the school lawn, and pick up toothpick "stick worms" which have been previously scattered on the lawn in equal numbers of green-stained and unstained. "Birds" are chased away before the "worm population" drops too low. Back in the classroom, the number of green and non-green "worms" are compared individually and for the whole class. Discussion relates the experience to the elements of natural selection. As presented here, it does not lend itself to demonstrating the effects of selection over multiple generations.

"Fascinating video which shows the solar system to scale measure out across the landscape, demonstrating the vastness of our planetary neighbourhood."

"checking out a few (or all) of these amazing chemistry videos online. Some are funny, some impressive, but all will showcase the true awesomeness of chemistry"
