Florida Sunshine State Standards and FCAT support

FCAT!

One little word that can strike fear into the hearts of students, teachers, and parents. Trying to cover all the standards, and especially reinforcing standards from earlier grades can be an overwhelming task for teachers, and a dreaded chore for students.

With that in mind, we have listed the standards for each grade level, with links to the videos and science activities that support that concept. Instead of slowly grinding through the standards, we have interesting, memorable, to the point videos that make it easy to remember content. We have hundreds of easy, inexpensive experiments and hands-on activities to make covering the standards exciting for teachers and for students. The list of FCAT resources will continue to grow weekly, as new videos and activities are added.

These are short, science oriented videos that don't fit neatly into other categories. Many are just for fun, as I learn more about the world of video.
