Science videos for kids to use in a primary classroom. My favorite YouTube Science channels to find educational videos for kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grade!
Science Videos for Kids
Starting your new science topic with a fun video is a great way to get students excited about learning. Using science videos throughout your study can help reinforce what you’re learning and lead to better student comprehension. Here are a few of my favorite YouTube channels that have a variety of science videos for kids.
#1 Happy Learning
Great educational videos all mostly five minutes or less! There is even a Happy Learning Espanol channel.
#2 Peekaboo Kidz
Dr. Binocs makes exploring science topics fun.

Kids Academy has more than just science videos, but if you type “science” in the search bar, it will show just science videos for kids. Here is a fun one about forces and motion.
