These short videos would work well in a middle school Earth science classroom or even grade 4 or 5 science class studying rock formation. After studying rock layers, Mount Everest could be introduced- most students have heard of this mountain before and the videos containing interesting facts of the mountain would probably peak the students' interest and add some great discussion to the curriculum at hand. - Jen Renz
ReplyDeleteAnother mentor text I often used in conjunction with the Reading Street program in my third grade classroom was "Hottest Coldest Highest Deepest." These videos would be perfect additions to that week's unit on nature's wonders. From the longest river to the deepest lake and the highest mountain, this text discusses many of the world's record holders. Students are fascinated by the measurements and records these landmarks hold. Students are most impressed with the diagrams included that put many of these measurements into relative terms comparing heights and depths to the average man's height. What it lacks, however, are vivid photographs of these natural wonders. These videos would certainly enhance students' interest and understanding of the vast beauty and size of Mount Everest.
