CNN’s Explain It To Me video series attempts to take complex topics and break them down into clear explanations. One of the videos that I recently watched is Gold. Explain It To Me: Gold explains why gold is a prized metal, why investors like it, and offers some advice for those considering investing in gold.

Applications for Education
Explain It To Me: Gold could be a good video to use as part of an introductory lesson on the value of currency or as part of an introductory lesson on investment.
