Give this clip a go in your class at the end of the school year and watch the brains weep out of the kids ears... || media type="custom" key="11486792" || 1 Second Movie Montage This clip is a montage of all the really good entries in the 1 second movie contest. Really amazing clips here for creativity. || media type="custom" key="11446980" || 10 Quirky Science Stunts Science is so hard to inspire kids with if you aren't interested in the world from a scientific perspective. Thats why i love these videos. Follow the links from the clip to see the other science stunt clips that you can easily do in the class. || media type="custom" key="11433792" || The Power of Green This clip is a glimpse into how much of the world of movies is done using Green Screen technology...the same technology you have the potential to use in the classroom.

Or just get them to work out how much money is involved... || media type="custom" key="11229696" || The Worlds Population So we cracked 7 Billion...nice work humans. This video gives a really good visual explanation of how humans have become so plentiful. || media type="custom" key="11095502" || The Divided Brain I love these RSA videos because they are always rather complex but 'the pictures' help me understand. Beautifully done, this video looks at our brains. Something that we generally know very little about. || media type="custom" key="11005514" || What it's like to be an All Blacks Fan In NZ we are celebrating our first Rugby World Cup win for 24 years. To say that rugby means a bit to our country is a pretty big understatement and we have just hosted the World Cup...so it all means quite a bit to win. It was a very close win. 8-7. A great video to get the feeling of tension that majority of NZers watching the game felt. || 1. media type="custom" key="10692982" 2. media type="custom" key="10693028" || This is the last week of term 3 in NZ.
