PBS LearningMedia (http://www.pbslearningmedia.org) is a repository of digital teaching materials, offering free videos, interactive games, images, and lesson plans for K-12 teachers. It can be used as a quick resource for adding content to a lesson, or you can register for a free account and use their Lesson Builder/Quiz Maker tools or create a Storyboard for students to explore. The website makes it easy to browse by standards, grade level, or subject to find content for your lessons and with PBS as the sponsor, you can be confident of the quality of what you will find. A quick search for 3rd-5th grade science resources netted a 3 minute video on hydroelectric power and the Hoover dam, an interactive website on coral reef connections, and a short plant experiment (Leaf Me Alone).
