SciShow is a popular series of videos on YouTube where science questions are answered and explained in just a few minutes. In March 2015, the team behind SciShow introduced SciShow Kids with videos designed especially for the youngest scientists among us. Hosted by Jessi Knudsen Castaneda, these short videos are aimed at elementary school learners and often feature hands-on activities. For example, one recent episode, Spin a Wheel with Sunlight!, teaches young learners about solar power by demonstrating how they can build a solar powered pinwheel using tin cans. Other recent episodes include How Do Fish Breath?, Build a Beehouse, and Explore the Rainforest. The inclusion of kid-friendly experiments makes this video series especially useful for elementary science classrooms, summer school classrooms, and youth programs.
