After teaching biology and Anatomy and Physiology for 30 years I retired from teaching in a public high school and took a job in a private middle school. One of the subjects I would be teaching was earth science. I had never taught this subject before. The video labs are terrific. I think the name is misleading. I think of them as a complete unit in a box. I would start by giving the students a pretest which is provided. The students thought the pretests were very hard. I would keep them and after going through the complete set of 12 labs in small groups doing the experiments, and answering the questions provided I would give them the test again. This time they would declare the test was easy. I let them compare the before and after and the feedback was all about how much they learned and how much they enjoyed the process. It did not take much time for me to be completely confidant in my ability to teach the subject. I struggle to declare a favorite video lab. Rock cycle, Minerals, Weather, the sun and our solar system, the universe. All are great.

It is my experience that the manipulatives and activities in this resource really augment student comprehension of the rock cycle. I recommend it highly.Best Deals for American Educational Rock Cycle Earth Science Videolab with DVD
I love this kit. My middle school and high school students found it motivational and fun to do. The video introduces the subject beautifully, and the activities, a full week's worth, are spot on to encourage student involvement in their own learning. Learning outcomes and all necessary worksheets and materials have been carefully and masterfully produced. As a career science teacher, I cannot recommend this videolab too highly. It is also wonderful for less science secure teachers, who will find it has done all of the ground work for them to simply plug in and use. Excellent!
