Math videos help teach both basic and complex mathematical concepts, and watching them can help supplement a child's math curriculum. Simple, whimsical math videos will use puppets and cartoons to teach math while more complex concepts will be taught by professors on screen.
Science videos cover topics in-depth that are covered more lightly in a curriculum. Younger children can watch videos designed to cover more basic topics, such as the water cycle, rock types or geography. These videos often use a whimsical-sounding narrator and colorful scenery. Older children can watch in-depth science videos that cover more mature subject matter, such as global warming, the oil crisis or natural disasters.
History videos can cover history topics more deeply through use of archival footage, vintage photographs and reenactments that children would not see in a textbook. These videos can discuss a historical event more deeply, covering information that a curriculum might miss.
Literature videos focus on topics ranging from classic literature to creating a great written sentence. Videos on literature keep children's attention because they discuss not only the literature but also the time periods when the works were created. These videos can also encourage students to write their stories based on the tips and tricks learned.
