Ideal for students, the series provides animated and dynamic content to explore how life functions, evolves and interacts with the environment. Perfect for Spanish speakers, multilingual students, or cross-curricular ties with biology and world language classes. Be aware - some of the videos include short advertisements before they begin. As these videos are hosted on YouTube, if your school does not allow YouTube, this site would not work well for you.

In the Classroom
Assign research projects where students expand on a Crash Course episode, presenting findings with additional information. After watching a lesson on a specific topic (e.g., genetics), enhance learning by having students create concept maps using Circlyapp, reviewed here to visualize relationships between ideas. Have students watch a Crash Course video and write a reflection or summary of key points. Follow this with a class discussion to reinforce understanding.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
