PBS Science Videos

PBS.org has a wealth of educational resources that educators can use (and all free!).  For science activities, PBS Kids has three excellent shows: SciGirls, DragonflyTV, and Zoom.  Each show has videos (on Youtube), suggestions for teachers to run the activities in their classrooms, and suit primary school ages.  Ideally, have a specific science topic you are teaching about, and do a search to see if any of the three shows has resources on it.
