I always knew Discovery Education was great for all kinds of videos to show students. I recently discovered they have a whole lot more to offer.
I'm teaching summer school and wanted some extra things to go with a lesson about magnets. I found a cute video that explained magnets to my rising 1st graders. My students really enjoyed watching The Blue Dragon: Magic Metal?
While searching I also can across a neat song! They loved Music Makes It Memorable: "Magnets". This song uses swing dancing to teach the concept of magnets. Partners attract by pulling together and repel by pushing away. We made up our own dance, basically just attracting and repelling!
I also found some Smart Notebook activities. We used one where the students could sort what a magnet will or will not attract.
I'm so excited to find these activities and can't wait to find other activities to use this year! Take some time to explore, it's more than just videos!
