NBC Learn


NBC Learn provides many of the video resources of NBC to K-12 learners and educators. I found out about these resources when I read a blog post about "Science of NFL Football". I clicked on the link provided to find out more about these videos and lessons centered around football and discovered that NBC Learn, which produces the videos and lessons, has created several video lesson series for K-12 learning. Not all of the videos and lessons are about science. There is a series titled "Finishing the Dream" which contains over one hundred video clips from the civil rights era. NBC Learn also has produced hundreds of mini-documentaries (each two to six minutes in length) that focus on Early American history. These mini documentaries are a part of NBC News Archives on Demand, a subscription service that provides full access to all of their content and lesson materials. You can however register for a 30-day trial, during which you could download content that you want to use. If there is not enough science for you in "Science of NFL Football", then check out "Science of the Winter Olympic Games" which explores the physics, biology, chemistry, and math behind the winter games.
