Science YouTube Channels To Subscribe for Teaching Kids All The STEM Skills

We all know that screen-time is the biggest problem for children that every parent is trying to solve. Since avoiding it completely is a hypothetical scenario, then why not utilize this screen-time for learning new STEM skills. YouTube has a whole other world of educational content you might not be exposing your children to. Here are those channels where children learn less about unboxing toys and sorting M&Ms, and more about physics, chemistry, biology, and blowing stuff up using the scientific method. The videos here are fun in that dangerous sort of way, so parent supervision required.

1. Sick Science: Extraordinary Science teacher, Steve Spangler, shares tons of interactive experiments safe to do at home or in the classroom. His ideas are full of exploring all concepts of chemistry and physics, kids of all ages will enjoy these videos.
2. Brusspup: Their science experiments combine illusions and concepts using science to make amazing optical illusions. In some videos, there are experiments that will cause children to laugh. Some are fascinating enough to amuse adults too. There are experiments that children and adults will want to do together at home.
3. Minute Physics: It has a wide range of videos covering almost all aspects of physics, such as gravity, space, “should we walk or run in rain” and so on. The highlight of the channel is that the videos are precise and to the point.
4. SciShow: It has all the science questions you can think of under the sun or maybe above it too. Their videos range from why cats purr to why bruises change colour. Some of the videos on this channel are aimed more towards older kids (5th grade to 10th grade), but there are many that are useful and interesting for younger kids as well.
5. Periodic videos: It doesn’t get science-ier than this. Just look at the host’s hair. Periodic Videos offers detailed explanations of every element in the Periodic Table and reports on Nobel Prize-winning experiments. Their videos are not just for kids but adults too, like a slow-motion chemistry reaction videos of exploding hydrogen bubbles filmed with high-speed cameras at close range, now who would not like that.
6. HooplaKidzLab: A great channel to go-to for last-minute science project ideas. The videos are suitable for all ages. Though the video duration might look long, every video covers all experiments related to one science domain.
7. NASA channel: Lastly, a channel where you find everything that is happening beyond earth and on earth. You’ll find over 2,000 videos on this channel, featuring everything from behind-the-scenes reports to footage of specific space expeditions.

I hope these channels are amazing for kids who already love science, but they’re great for adults too. You’ll love watching these videos and might even begin to plan your own experiments based on what you’ve seen. Many of the YouTube videos also include ingredient lists and recommend adult supervision.
