We are excited to announce our new partnership with YouTube EDU and the YouTube for Schools project. Students and educators now have access to our entire library of science experiment videos in the classroom. No more work arounds or third-party sites to try to show videos in the classroom. YouTube listened to what educators and parents wanted and created something that will forever change the way teachers use videos in the classroom.
To join YouTube for Schools or learn more about the program, visit www.youtube.com/schools For detailed step-by-step instructions on how to sign up, please read this YouTube Help Center article. It’s no secret… teachers want (and need) access to YouTube in their classrooms for a multitude of great reasons. With hundreds of thousands of videos available at their fingertips, YouTube has become a

1. Who is Bradley Mayhew – Tell us about yourself
Iʼm an Aquarius, I love being outside and taking long walks on the beach at sunset…Technology is a HUGE part of my life. At home we have an iMac, MacBook Pro, MacBook, Apple TV, two iPhone 4s, an iPad, and an iPad 2. All of them are connected in some way. Iʼm obsessed with utility apps for my iPad . Anything that allows me to control something from another location is awesome. Other than that, I am a movie and TV buff. Currently I own over 1200 movies and 150 seasons of various shows… and yes, I can access all of them on my iPad from across the country (thanks StreamToMe)!
2. What do you do at SSS and how long have you been here? Iʼve been doing work for the company since May of 2008, and officially hired on in September of that year. I met Steve while attending Magic in the Rockies in 2006 and ran into him a few years later while working for Apple. My first task after being hired on was to ingest 20 years of

As we wrap up 2008, I’m excited to report that we’ve added more than a hundred new videos to our ever-growing library of cool science videos and science fair project ideas. We are told that this science video library represents the most complete collection of science activities, experiment ideas and science demonstrations online to date. Thanks to everyone for your feedback and suggestions for future segments. I liked the e-mail that said, “Spangler videos are like Pringles… you can’t stop at just one.” Pour yourself another cup of coffee and dig in.
Bradley Mayhew is an amazing photographer and video editor who joined our creative team earlier this year. When he visited our video storage area on his first day on the job, he started to understand the true scope of managing this video archive. There are over 240 science segments dating back to 1990-1997 when I hosted the weekly Wonder Why? science segment on NBC’s News for Kids. Many of these segments can be seen on the Steve Spangler Science YouTube Channel under the classics category. Bradley also uncovered countless hours

Lynn is a mother who decided, a year or so ago, to “unschool” her daughter, and her blog, A Life Worth Living, tells her readers how this is unfolding for her family in the UK.
Last April, Lynn found our link on a friend’s blog, clicked on it, and discovered us! ” . . . I went onto a website I had found that had a link to Steve Spangler Science, and found lots and lots of new experiments to do. . . some I have heard of before, some I haven’t. I also like the fact that you can watch a video clip of quite a lot of the experiments.”
Thank you, Lynn, for your kind words about our website!
When the phone rings, we never know quite what to expect. The phone rang and on the other end was a senior producer at the Ellen Show (you know… Ellen DeGeneres). It seems that this producer had been watching a few of our science videos and wanted to know if Ellen would have fun making huge clouds with liquid nitrogen, shooting potatoes, whipping up a batch of slime or learning how to make toilet paper fly. My response was “yes” to all of the above. But maybe it’s best if you help us decide which science experiments would be most fun to do with Ellen. Of course, the goal of the segment is to show parents how to make learning fun… and what could be more fun than 50 gallons of Insta-Snow erupting on the set?
Now this doesn’t mean that I’m automatically on the show… they’re just interested. So, what cool science demos should I pitch to the producers at the Ellen Show?
