YouTube Resources for Kids
My boys and I learn science online. They love their online school, but using YouTube videos, they can find things they want to learn and share. Here are my top suggestions for kids of all ages:
Richard Feynman
For us, everything starts with Richard Feynman. I have been reading Feynman to my kids since they were 5 years old. Great books to read to kids include The Pleasure of Finding Things Out and Surely You’re Joking, Mr Feynman, and What do you Care what Other People Think? Other books are more technical and too difficult for bedside reading, but those stories are fantastic, especially if you can fake a Feynman accent.
Then there are videos, here is a selection:
The Character of Physical Law, Part 1
The Character of Physical Law, Part 2
The World from Another Point of View
