The Crash Course has over 45 videos on topics ranging from Anatomy to Zoology, Artificial Intelligence to Outbreak Science. There are the more common topics one might want to learn about, like Ecology, Films, Geography, and much more. All videos are free to watch. Each video also includes a short description (some with lesson stem ideas). Crash Course videos are hosted on YouTube. If your district/school blocks YouTube, they may not be viewable. The good news for teachers whose schools block YouTube is that you can download the video if you fill out a form. Go to the Download tab from the top menu, select Students & Teachers, scroll down the page, and follow the directions.

In the Classroom
Introduce this site on your interactive whiteboard or with a projector. The site is excellent for introductory material on any topic you're starting and for giving students some background knowledge. Use Acclaim, reviewed here to organize and annotate the videos you plan to use. Crash Course is also great for your early finishers. Allow them to choose a topic they want to investigate or know more about.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Gauth uses AI to provide homework help in math and science topics, including chemistry, physics, calculus, and more.

Gauth then provides a step-by-step response with a detailed explanation of the answer. Find additional explanations by selecting Copilot, which is built into Gauth's platform, or by choosing from suggestions for related questions.

In the Classroom
Include Gauth with your other math and science support resources for students. Demonstrate how to ask questions and analyze the responses as a learning tool. Be sure to discuss the ethical use of AI tools with students as a learning tool and not a substitute for completing assignments. Encourage students to provide proper attribution when using Gauth. Share Gauth as a flipped learning tool for students to use as they begin to understand new concepts, then ask students to apply that knowledge to problems without using AI resources. Have students demonstrate how to solve problems by creating a video explanation with Free Screen Recorder Online, reviewed here.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
