Crash Course Kids is a YouTube video series designed to make science accessible and exciting for late elementary school students. The site opens with a 36-second introductory video that outlines the philosophy of the endeavor. From there, readers may like to select Playlists, where they can find videos grouped by categories, such as Space Science, Earth Science, Engineering, Life Science, and Physical Science. Videos are uploaded every Tuesday and Thursday, so there is plenty of fresh content on the site. Recent additions have covered such topics as the constellations, engineering games, severe weather, the wonders of dirt, and even the nature of dinosaur urine. For educators looking for a way to bring science to life for 4th and 5th graders, this excellent YouTube channel will provide welcome resources.
