Here in Maine it finally has felt like spring for the entire week. We’ve had hot and sunny days as well as warm and rainy days. In other words, lawns are starting to look green. This is a great time to share a new SciShow Kids video that covers a handful of topics related to the science of spring.

The Science of Spring explains to students why birds sing more in the spring, why it rains a lot in the spring, what makes plants grow, and why bugs begin to hatch in the spring.

The video is a bit too long for my liking, but it is broken up into four clear sections so you could use just a section of the fifteen minute video in your classroom.

On a related note, I recently held a webinar all about blending technology into outdoor lessons. If you missed it, you can get the recording right here.
