See What Science Is All About is a science instructional video program for teachers, adults, or even gifted students. There are two levels (suggested), Grades K-3 and 4-6. The program was produced in 1985 and originally sold to schools throughout the US and Canada. It covers all major science topics in Earth, Life and Physical science and originally was presented on nine videotapes (but now available on YouTube). It provides 14 hours of teacher instruction. Having been recently retired, the program, now digitized, is available FREE to YouTube viewers! Get more background on this program here.

The intent of the series is to provide teachers with important content, science concepts and demonstrate many hands-on activities that one can use in the classroom or in a home-school setting. We hope this will, indirectly, turn many students on to science nationwide. Suprisingly, a number of sharp elementary and middle school students have also watched these videos and become "science experts" !

Although the programs are available for viewing on YouTube, each See What Science Is All About video program and the printed outline is copyrighted. They can be downloaded for individual use but cannot be otherwise copied or distributed by any means or media.

The program presenter, Jack Ross, possesses an acute interest in all aspects of science and has a Masters of Arts Degree in science instruction. He has taught classroom science at junior high, high school, adult education and university extension levels and spent a year as a county level science resource specialist.

The Printed Outline: In 2020, we uploaded the printed outline. It allows you to follow along when you watch a video. No notetaking required! The outline is in pdf and segmented by level and topic. If you decide to watch the entire series, you may find it best to cover one subject at both levels first before going on to the next. Even if you are a primary teacher, this will give you with a comprehensive understanding of the sciences. As an example, watch K-3 Earth Science - Astronomy then watch 4-6 Earth Science, Astronomy, K-3 Geology then 4-6 Geology etc.
