This video explains simply how weathering and erosion play a part in shaping the Earth's surface.
This video shows how earthquakes happen and how that changes the appearance of the Earth.
This is a short video about different types of landforms and how they are created.
This video is a little bit more in depth than the other videos. It explains a few contrasting ways that Earth's surface changes, focusing on tectonic plates.
This video is a simplified explanation of plate tectonics.
Reflection:
Youtube is a site that I have used for many years and is very straightforward. By using keywords, you can search for video content for most topics. Topics covered range from music to explanations of complex engineering concepts to how to fix things. Because there is so much content and it is all user-submitted content, it does require a bit of sifting. By sifting I mean that it is important to recognize quality and filter out the lower quality videos. Sifting is especially important when compiling a playlist for use in teaching children. Not only must the video explain the content well, but it must also be age-appropriate (in both the way they explain the content and the content itself).
This particular playlist is designed to help teach 5th graders about earth science. The students would be able to access the playlist while at home. Instead of having them read a science book, they would be able to watch these brief videos and see as well as hear how the Earth is affected by geological activity. I would hope that having videos to watch would be more engaging for students than reading from a book. Because the videos are short, the students could re-watch them quickly if they needed to refresh their memories.
