DAILY SCIENCE VIDEOS FOR CLASSROOMS

Daily Science Videos for Classrooms

Start every day with a trip to the frontlines of science, exploration, conservation, engineering, and adventure. Our Daily Dives bring the newest discoveries, breakthroughs, research, expeditions, technology, conservation stories, and more, into your classrooms.

Every weekday morning, we premiere a new 5-10 minute video, paired with a question so your students can dig deeper into the story. Many educators use our new Daily Dives to start their day or as an activity for students who finish early. 

We want your students kept up to date with the people and stories pushing the boundaries of our knowledge and understanding of our planet and beyond!

Find all of our Daily Dives below and on our YouTube channel
