These video clips are from various educational television shows and documentaries. Watching a brief film clip on topics such as Acid Rain, Dinosaurs, Mummies, Penguins, Rotting Food, Zoo Veterinarians, etc., can spark an interest in a science topic.
If you enjoy the film clips, you can purchase the videos at the website – or look for the titles at your local public library or through your video/DVD rental store or plan.
You can also try the FREE hands-on lessons and activities provided in the “Teacher Guides.” Designed for classroom use, easily adapted to homeschooling, and you don’t have to watch a video to learn something from them.
The site also offers “Science Try Its” that are mostly straightforward ideas and suggestions for ways to think about and explore various science topics and concepts – great when you run out of views or need a jump-start.
This site is well-organized. You can browse the science categories or enter a keyword in the search mechanism to find information on any science topic of interest

You can view the stunningly beautiful artwork created by masters like Raphael and Michelangelo that included in the Museum’s collections, and zoom in for details of paintings, frescoes, and other artwork. Information on the pieces provided as well.
The artwork will appeal to many ages, exploring the sites requires the ability to read. You use a computer keyboard, making this an excellent website for family explorations.
View the virtual tours; your browser must have Java activated.
- Starter – Learn the basics of piano such as music notation, notes, and terms, fingering the keys, and more.
- Intermediate – Build upon the starter lessons and expand the knowledge base in musical studies with chords and more.
- Advanced – Learn about the different genres of music and a more in-depth understanding of music.
Lessons can include images, text, and sometimes audios. The student is encouraged to have a small keyboard in front of them as they go through the experiences so that they can learn the material.
Whether your student is a beginner or more advanced student, there is a lot to be learned with these free online piano lessons.
Thank you,
