Best Science Videos for Kids

By Med Kharbach, PhD | Last Update: May 10, 2024

Science Videos for Kids are the topic of our blog post today!

Science learning does not have to be complicated! Kids are inherently hands-on learners and they would definitely enjoy learning science when they see its application in real life contexts. Hence the importance of using videos and animated content to bring life to science and turn it into engaging learning possibilities in and outside class.

As educators and teachers,  we know how YouTube videos transform boring lessons into interactive and engaging learning activities especially when used with other interactive tools such as PlayPosit and Edpuzzle .

For science teachers, YouTube contains a treasure trove of educational video content that can be used in class to optimize students learning. In this post, I am sharing with you this collection  of some amazing science YouTube channels that provide educational content that caters to the learning needs of kids and young learners. If you teach adult students, check out this list instead.

Science Videos for Kids

Here are some of the best YouTube channels where you can access science videos for kids:

Final thoughts

Science becomes an adventure for young minds when transformed by the power of visual storytelling. YouTube channels like SciShow Kids, Nat Geo Kids, and others offer a gateway for children to explore scientific wonders in a language they understand, full of curiosity and hands-on discovery.

These channels, which I’ve compiled with care, bridge the gap between abstract concepts and tangible experiences, making science both accessible and enjoyable. They cater to various learning needs, from quick DIY experiments on Ryan’s World to in-depth explorations with Mystery Doug. For educators, these resources are invaluable, turning passive observation into active engagement and fostering a lifelong love for learning.
