Here are a couple of my favorite series.

Science of NFL Football
While I'm not a huge football fan (actually, I'm far from it), I do live in the south. This means I encounter a large majority of students interested in sports, and more specifically, American football. As teachers we know that relating to students' interests is an important part of helping them learn, and that's why I love this series — it directly relates to something that many students have a passion for. In this video series students learn about the science behind this popular sport. Along similar lines, also check out Science of NHL Hockey and Science of the Summer Olympics. These STEM videos would be great for integrating science into Physical Education courses, too.

Engineer Guy
This fun series features engineer Bill Hammock as he uncovers the scientific reasoning behind many common inventions and technological advances. Learn about everything from smartphones to soda pop cans, and how science played a role in each modern day invention.

Take a look at this video library and see what you think. Can you see using some of these STEM videos with your students?
