National Park Service's Snow Desk provides a fascinating look at the science of snow and the winter landscape of Denali National Park. This resource features short, engaging videos and articles tailored for upper elementary and middle school students. Your students can learn about the different types of snow crystals, the insulating properties of the "subnivean zone," and how wildlife survives harsh Alaskan winters. The site also includes interactive elements, such as "Ask a Scientist" archives and data-driven explanations of how park rangers measure snowpack to monitor climate change. It is a perfect fit for science or geography units focusing on weather, ecosystems, or environmental stewardship. If your district blocks YouTube, then the video may not be viewable.
tag(s): conservation (109), ecology (118), ecosystems (102), preK (322), snow (23), weather (177)
In the Classroom
Introduce this site during a weather or ecology unit to engage students in real-world scientific fieldwork. After watching the "Life Under the Snow" video, enhance the lesson by having students create a visual representation of a subnivean habitat. Students can use Canva for Education, reviewed here, to design a digital infographic or labeled diagram showing how different animals use the layers of snow to survive. To extend the learning, ask your students to act as park rangers and share their findings with a broader audience. They can curate a collection of their favorite snow facts and additional research links using Wakelet, reviewed here, creating a collaborative digital resource for the entire class to explore. This approach encourages students to move beyond passive viewing and become active creators and curators of scientific information.

The Open Culture article The Ancient Astronomy of Stonehenge Decoded highlights a video and discussion about the astronomical significance of Stonehenge, showing how its massive stones were likely arranged with careful alignment to the sun's movements at the solstices. It explains that although the builders did not understand modern astronomy, they clearly observed natural phenomena such as the sun's rising and setting points throughout the year for agricultural and ceremonial purposes. The piece also notes that both summer and winter solstice alignments draw modern-day interest, connecting ancient astronomical observation with today's celebrations and interpretations of this prehistoric site. If your district blocks YouTube, then the video may not be viewable.

Begin with a short discussion about seasons and daylight. After viewing the video, have students identify how Stonehenge aligns with the sun during the solstices and explain why this would have mattered to ancient people. Show images or short clips of Stonehenge during the summer and winter solstice. Have students list visual clues that support the idea of astronomical alignment, then share their observations in small groups. Using simple materials such as paper circles, sticks, or a flashlight, have students create a small model demonstrating how the sun aligns with Stonehenge during a solstice.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

The author shares a variety of engaging activities, including defining and illustrating key terms (persistence, excellence, indifference), comparing concepts using charts and Venn diagrams, analyzing characters from books, and completing reflective writing. These can be used in whole-group or small-group settings to help students build this important habit of mind. The article also connects educators with additional Habits of Mind resources and encourages a mindset of steady effort and resilience.

Step into the eye of the storm with UCAR's Learning Zone--an engaging, student-friendly resource that brings the science of extreme weather to life. Designed for middle and high school learners, this interactive site covers a wide range of storm types, including thunderstorms, tornadoes, hurricanes, monsoons, and winter storms. Each topic is presented through accessible explanations, vivid diagrams, and real-world examples that help students understand the atmospheric conditions leading to severe weather events. Educators will find a wealth of classroom-ready materials, such as simulations, animations, and activities, to support inquiry-based learning and align with science standards. Whether you're teaching about the formation of lightning or the impact of storm surges, the Learning Zone offers a comprehensive toolkit to make storm science both understandable and exciting.

After reviewing the main types of storms on the website, have students complete a sorting activity where they match storm characteristics (e.g., high winds, low pressure) to the correct storm type using cards. Assign students to track a current storm (hurricane, tornado outbreak, etc.) using online weather maps and news reports. They log daily changes and connect observations to storm formation concepts learned on the site using Book Creator reviewed here or Google Slides reviewed here. Using storm diagrams from the site (e.g., hurricane anatomy), students label parts of the storm and explain what's happening in each section, reinforcing their understanding of storm structures.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
