Any science teachers out there...

[Homemadehopeful]

Just wondering if anyone could recommend any good YouTube accounts for fun science related stuff. I'm trying to think of things to engaga my teen DC with science a little more over the holidays.

I don't want them to do actual work but they will both happily watch hours of YouTube so just thinking if I could encourage that to be a little productive at times.

Or a science experiment or project?

Feel like I'm waffling, sorry, just something fun and engaging, that doesn't feel like school work but that they might actually learn something from!!

I'm not a science teacher, but you could try the "crash course" videos on you tube. Dd loved the chemistry one.
Unfortunately, you learn very little by passively watching or reading. It is by doing things with the information, like questions or mind maps that you learn. However, the videos are fun and will inspire them.

My DS loves the MinutePhysics channel on youtube, very entertaining and engaging (I've watched a few myself!)

DD recommends Crash Course
and Hegarty Maths has some science ones

Thanks for these suggestions, I'll get them to take a look.
I have also found a series of challenges on the James Dyson Foundation site which look good so I will get them to choose some of those too

DS2 likes IsaacPhysics. Not videos but problem solving.

Steve Spangler was a favourite in our house but that was in primary school, he does explain why stuff happens. His experiments are on a big scale to be impressive.

Depending on the age of your children and how engaged they will be veritasium on YouTube, V sauce, anything to do with living on board the International Space Station.

I almost forgot Smarter Every Day, Destin the host is a missile flight test engineer and makes some incredible videos including holding a home made Tesla Gun, a huge potato gun which means he holds an explosion in his hands complete with slowmo camera stuff so you can see it all. Of all the things my two watch, this is my absolute favourite.
