We thank PAESTA members for adding some of their "go-to" online videos that showcase particular Earth and/or space science concepts for their students. Our early submissions include videos about how sediment moves in a stream, to a clarification of the terms "weather" and "climate", to answering the question, "why is the solar system flat"?

If there is a particular video topic you are looking for, PAESTA webmaster Eric Aitala has built us an excellent "Search" engine. We currently tag the videos by Earth systems, but users can also search by grade and with any text.

You can visit the PAESTA website and click on the "Resources" menu, then "Favorite Videos". Or you may visit the page directly - http://www.paesta.psu.edu/favorite-videos

The only way this collection can grow and increase in its value is if YOU, our PAESTA membership, submit the videos you have shown and describe how you have used them with your students. It is a very simple online form for you to complete, tested by PAESTA members. In addition, with each video entry, you have the ability to upload a student worksheet or any other handouts you use with the video. No video is too short or too long to suggest, and the context for how you use the video is key for others to implement the resource.

Detecting landslides from space. Big ice sheets doing big things. Biological consequences of nuclear disasters. These are just some of the topics of lectures recorded and provided online for the public by the Library of Congress.

STEM professionals from federal agencies like NASA and USDA, universities like Johns Hopkins and Georgetown, and institutions like the American Museum of Natural History discuss Earth and space science, computer science, and life science. Teachers can bring these diverse voices into classrooms not only to address core disciplinary ideas but also to illustrate the practices of science and engineering.

Join a crowdsourcing effort to identify short clips in hour-long lectures than teachers can plug into a lesson, a flipped classroom, or even a homework assignment. Check out more details here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_9ngIQXeU2ZAiH3G8MQ1mUqHJPz2jqZP4BoDPKkcXCs/edit
