"TED-Ed's mission is to capture and amplify the voices of great educators around the world. We do this by pairing extraordinary educators with talented animators to produce a new library of curiosity-igniting videos. A new site, which will launch in early April 2012, will feature these new TED-Ed Originals as well as some powerful new learning tools...we are happy to extend an open invitation for the nomination of educators and animators and the suggestion of lesson ideas.

Do you teach science? If so take a look at this series which looks at superpowers and explores them. The six videos explore Flight, Immortality, Invisibility, Super Strength, Super Speed and Body Mass.
There is a lesson available for each superpower that is divided into four sections: Watch (the video), Think (questions students answer - a combination of multiple choice and open answer), Dig Deeper (resources for further exploration) and Discuss (a forum is available online). You may also choose to flip the lesson and make it your own.
These are many great videos on TED-Ed that are available and we know our students are engaged when they watch videos. Take some time to explore the videos at TED-Ed and consider using them in your classroom.
