The Lorax - The Last Tree Falls ClassHook 2021-08-11 | For more educational clips from television and movies, visit us at https://www.classhook.com.The Lorax confronts the Once-Ler, who has been cutting down Truffula trees to manufacture Thneeds. The two witness the cutting down of the last Truffula tree, marking an end to the viability of the Once-Ler's business.This clip can be used to teach about the environment, more specifically the effects of deforestation on a habitat. The lack of Truffula trees transforms the forest into a barren wasteland devoid of minerals for soil to support plant growth. It also adversely affects the air quality for the residents of ThneedVille, as evidenced by the worker's coughing. This may be due to the town's carbon omissions and the absence of trees to balance its presence in the atmosphere. Additionally, the wildlife that once lived in the forest can no longer stay there and need to migrate elsewhere to ensure their basic needs are met.Deforestation is a significant concern in the Amazon Rainforest. This is because of commercial motives similar to that of the Once-Ler: the desire to profit off of raw materials sourced from the forest. While this in itself is not necessarily negative, the unsustainable nature in which it is performed is a cause for concern and adversely affects the environment.Have you used this clip in one of your classes?

Hocus Pocus - Action-Reaction Forces ClassHook 2020-10-28 | For more educational clips from television and movies, visit us at https://www.classhook.com.Winifred struggles with Max in an attempt to drain his life force and resurrect herself and her two sisters. Winifred calls for her sisters to help, but Max's friends intervene.This clip can be used to teach about Newton's Laws of Motion in physics classrooms. When the Sanderson sisters fly toward Winifred, Max's friends pull on the rope to stop them, in what turns into a tug of war. This encounter illustrates each of Newton's Laws of Motion:First Law: An object continues to move at a constant velocity unless acted upon by a force. This is shown when Winifred's sister flies to her rescue and is stopped by Max's friends tugging at the rope.Second Law: More force is required to accelerate larger mass. While tugging on the rope against one witch, Max's friends start to pull her towards them. But when the witch's sister grabs her hand, she adds more mass, and the tug of war is at a standstill.Third Law: For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. This is shown when Max's friends let go of the rope. The force they generate from their tugging transfers into force in the opposite direction when they let go, causing the witches to fly away quickly.Have you used this clip in one of your classes?

Dragon Ball Super - Pilaf Teaches Trunks Math ClassHook 2020-07-20 | For more educational clips from television and movies, visit us at https://www.classhook.com.Trunks, Pilaf, Shu and Mai are in math class, and the teacher calls on Trunks to solve a math problem. As Trunks thinks out loud, Pilaf interrupts him and explains the correct approach. This clip is from the episode, "Hope! Redux Awaken in the Present, Trunks."This clip can be used to teach math, more specifically order of operations. The math problem is (1000 - 900 * 0.5). Trunks attempts to subtract 900 from 1000 first, but Pilaf interrupts him and correctly states that he must multiply 900 by 0.5 first then subtract the result from 1000. To make his point more tangible, Pilaf uses an example involving a sale. If an item is 50% off, you would discount it first then subtract the amount of money you have (1000) by the discounted price (900 * 0.5 = 450). Pilaf's arithmetic is correct, and he arrives at the correct solution: 550.
The Munsters - What Really Matters ClassHook 2020-06-23 | For more educational clips from television and movies, visit us at https://www.classhook.com.Grandpa Munster gives Eddie a magic potion that will make him grow six inches overnight so that the kids at school don't call him by his nickname, "shorty." However, this concoction actually causes Eddie to grow a beard. While eating dinner, the Munsters find out that Eddie's beard dissolves in water. This clip is from the episode, "Eddie's Nickname."This clip can be used to teach about social acceptance and self-esteem. Herman tells Eddie that it doesn't matter what he looks like and that "what does matter is the size of [his] heart, and the strength of [his] character." This clip suggests that we should not judge others by how they look but by their inner qualities and how they treat others. Herman's words suggest that we should accept both ourselves and others for who they are and reserve judgment only after getting to know someone. After all, you might find a new friend.
Malcolm in the Middle - Deweys Dominoes ClassHook 2020-05-20 | For more educational clips from television and movies, visit us at https://www.classhook.com.Hal recreates an elaborate dominoes setup that Dewey had created, and he realizes he doesn't have his video camera to record it. He steps away and accidentally triggers the first domino to fall. This clip is from the episode, "Cliques."This clip can be used to illustrate potential and kinetic energy in physics. While at rest, the dominoes have potential energy. When one domino is knocked over, its potential energy is converted to kinetic energy, or the energy possessed by the domino when it is in motion. This conversion is the reason the domino chain continues once the first domino is knocked over.Have you used this clip in one of your classes? Let us know in the comments below!
The Flintstones - Arnold Keeps Freds Business ClassHook 2020-05-14 | For more educational clips from television and movies, visit us at https://www.classhook.com.Fred encounters Arnold, the paperboy, and pays him for his newspaper. Fred tells Arnold he would like to cancel his subscription, but Arnold convinces him to stay a customer by changing his weekday and weekend rates. This clip is from the episode, "The Little Stranger."This clip can be used to teach about math and mathematical logic. Fred pays 45 cents each week for the paper (5 cents per day and 15 cents on Sundays). Arnold's special rate is 6 cents per day and 10 cents on Sundays, for a total of 46 cents each week. To Fred, it seems that he'd be paying less, but he's actually been tricked into paying more.This clip could be used in a classroom activity. Students can calculate the amount that Fred pays each week for both of the rates and determine which of the two rates is cheaper. As a class, you could discuss why the special rate is perceived to be cheaper than the previous rate, and more generally, how perceived value is defined.Have you used this clip in one of your classes?

He explains the instruments that we use and defines days, years, and months in astronomical terms. This clip is from the episode, "Time."This clip can be used to teach about astronomy and time. Using his "Time-keeping Motion Machine of Science," Bill explains that the modern definition of time is based on different astronomical events. He illustrates that a year is one Earth revolution around the sun, a month is one Moon revolution around the Earth, and a day is one Earth rotation on its axis. Understanding and measuring time has many practical applications. For example, farmers will know when to plant certain crops so they can harvest them at the appropriate time of year.Have you used this clip in one of your classes? Let us know in the comments below!
The Simpsons - Wind Energy ClassHook 2019-09-02 | For more educational clips from television and movies, visit us at https://www.classhook.com.Homer purchases wind energy and takes his home off the grid because he is frustrated with the electric company.

This clip is from the episode, "The Squirt & the Whale."This clip can be used to teach about alternative and renewable energy, more specifically wind energy. Wind energy is considered to be a more sustainable form of energy when compared to traditional fossil fuels. However, since it is highly dependent on weather conditions, its reliability is variable: if there is no wind, the turbine will not generate electricity. As shown in the clip, the Simpsons experience intermittent access to electricity when performing everyday tasks.Have you used this clip in one of your classes? Let us know in the comments below!

Vanessa explains that bees are necessary to help flowers, fruits, and vegetables flourish. Since the bees aren't working, they aren't pollinating the plants and helping them to reproduce. She further mentions that this has negative effects on the entire ecosystem. If plants aren't able to survive, then the animals that rely on them will have difficulties surviving.Have you used this clip in one of your classes? Let us know in the comments below!

Sally's encouragement is an example of a growth mindset because she understands that Lightning can improve his skills beyond his current abilities. She knows that, with time, training, and effort, he will again become a competitive racer. On the contrary, Lightning depicts a fixed mindset because he feels that his skills are inherently limited, and he feels hopeless to improve.

This scene illustrates that fuel is derived from natural, and sometimes unexpected, sources. Additionally, Chug references several biofuels in his conversation with Sparky: those made from switchgrass, soybeans, and algae. Ethanol can also be derived from these sources. It can be understood why Chug prefers corn-based fuel: it's the most widespread biofuel.Have you used this clip in one of your classes? Let us know in the comments below!
Cyberchase - Powering The Motor ClassHook 2018-03-20 | For more educational clips from television and movies, visit us at https://www.classhook.com.The CyberSquad needs to power the ship's motor in order to stop Hacker. The group calculates which of its power crystals will be within the acceptable threshold to power the motor but not burn it out. This clip is from the episode, "A Piece of the Action."This clip can be used to teach about comparing fractions and converting fractions to percents. Jackie reads the instructions for the ship, and they state that the ship will be powered only with a crystal that contains between 65% and 85% orange power stripes. The kids count the number of stripes on each crystal to get the fraction of the crystal that is orange. They then find a common denominator for each fraction, which ends up being 100. Once they determine the fraction for each crystal, convert the fractions to percents in order to easily compare the values. Finally, they find the crystal that is within the range indicated in the instructions and take off.Have you used this clip in one of your classes? Let us know in the comments below!
Ice Age - The Migration ClassHook 2018-03-13 | For more educational clips from television and movies, visit us at https://www.classhook.com.All of the prehistoric mammals begin their annual migration to avoid the cold winter. Manny the woolly mammoth, however, travels in the direction opposite of every other mammal.This clip can be used to teach about animal migrations. The prehistoric mammals migrate to warmer climates to increase their chances of survival. Mammals may migrate for one or more reasons, including greater availability of food and other resources, mating purposes, and simply because they cannot survive in colder climates. Manny travels in the opposite direction because his species is well adapted to the cold. The woolly mammoth's fur keeps it warm, while its short tail and small ears minimize heat loss and prevent frostbite. Unlike the case for the other mammals, it is strategic for Manny to travel in the direction of the cold.Have you used this clip in one of your classes? Let us know in the comments below!
Born on the Fourth of July - Syracuse University Rally ClassHook 2018-03-01 | For more educational clips from television and movies, visit us at https://www.classhook.com.In an anti-war rally at Syracuse University, students gather to protest the United States' involvement in the Vietnam War. When they ignore the warnings from law enforcement, they are met with excessive force.This clip can be used to teach about the Vietnam War, more specifically the sentiment of the United States home front toward the war. The Vietnam War was highly controversial, and a large percentage of the population of the United States did not believe that it should participate in the war. Especially after the Kent State shootings, university students in particular heavily leaned in support of the anti-war efforts, partially because they were the ones eligible for being drafted. The students in this clip make clear through their words and actions that they are against war.Have you used this clip in one of your classes? Let us know in the comments below!
Les Misérables (1995) - Letter to Wife ClassHook 2018-02-28 | For more educational clips from television and movies, visit us at https://www.classhook.com.While in prison, Henri Fortin talks to an accountant who briefly describes his time working on the Eiffel Tower. Afterwards, Henri and the accountant argue about the letter Henri would like him to write for his wife.This clip can be used to teach about descriptive writing and demonstrate how to pronounce common phrases in French. Henri Fortin tells the accountant to write a letter to his wife for him, and he wants the letter to contain only the phrase, "Je t'aime," which means "I love you" in English. The accountant argues that the letter will be monotonous and that it should instead paint a picture in his wife's mind. Strong descriptive writing will accomplish this objective, as it allows the reader to imagine the setting that the author has established; however, Henri's current strategy for the letter establishes no such setting. The accountant further suggests that the letter should be something that Henri's wife cherish and will want to re-read several times.As the two men's discussion is in French, this clip demonstrates how to pronounce the phrase, "Je t'aime" along with many other common words in the French language.Have you used this clip in one of your classes?
