We’ve compiled our most up-to-date list of science videos for graders. In these educational videos, students will learn about the different states of matter, various animal types, the world of engineering, balloon experiments, and understanding weather vs. climate.    *Educators get free access to [Boclips Classroom](http://app.boclips.com/classroom/register) to share these videos directly with students in an ad-free, distraction-free platform.

And, kids can  investigate the three different states of matter - solid, liquid and gas.    Moreover, this video for third graders connects science with everyday life. For instance, earth is mostly covered in water, with only a small portion being land, but only 1% of water on Earth is drinkable. And, water can exist in three different states of matter: solid (ice), liquid (water), and gas (steam).     What Animals Wear [![3rd grade science - what animals wear ](https://www.boclips.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202024-09-10%20at%2010.36.11%20AM.png?width=658&height=368&name=Screenshot%202024-09-10%20at%2010.36.11%20AM.png)](https://app.boclips.com/videos/651d352aef7ab846dc838099)   In this video, “[What Animals Wear](https://app.boclips.com/videos/651d352aef7ab846dc838099),” Jessi shares examples of different kinds of body coverings that occur in a wide variety of animals. This video talks about showcases spiders and snakes, so if your third graders are a little squeamish about certain kinds of animals, you’ve been warned. However, there are some cute animals featured toward the end of the video.      ## What is Engineering? [![3rd grade science - engineering](https://www.boclips.com/hs-fs/hubfs/3rd%20grade%20science%20-%20engineering.png?width=679&height=380&name=3rd%20grade%20science%20-%20engineering.png)](https://app.boclips.com/videos/65c356f180a7f930f070fec3) Get ready to embark on an exciting journey through the fascinating world of engineering. In this educational science video designed especially for third graders, we'll unlock the secrets behind engineering and dive deep into the amazing world of problem-solving, innovation, and creativity.   In “[What is Engineering?](https://app.boclips.com/videos/65c356f180a7f930f070fec3),” students will learn about the role of engineers in developing technologies that impact daily life and recognize the types of engineering disciplines and their contributions to society. They’ll get an appreciation for the importance of engineering in creating infrastructure and modern conveniences and how to apply it in solving real-world problems.     ## Make a Balloon Rocket [![3rd grade science - forces](https://www.boclips.com/hs-fs/hubfs/3rd%20grade%20science%20-%20forces.png?width=583&height=325&name=3rd%20grade%20science%20-%20forces.png)](https://app.boclips.com/videos/5eecb500231524048daceae3) In “[Make a Balloon Rocket](https://app.boclips.com/videos/5eecb500231524048daceae3),” Jessi and Squeaks will teach students how to make their very own rocket. They’ll learn about the concept of air taking up space and shaping the container it is inside.   Kids will discover how to make a balloon-powered rocket using simple materials like string, a straw, tape, and a balloon. This science video for third graders encourages experimentation and exploration to discover how different factors, like balloon inflation or design changes, can affect the behavior of the balloon-powered rocket. ## High Five Facts - Climates [![3rd grade science - climate](https://www.boclips.com/hs-fs/hubfs/3rd%20grade%20science%20-%20climate.png?width=617&height=347&name=3rd%20grade%20science%20-%20climate.png)](https://app.boclips.com/videos/645241a479003504005d21ef)   This video, “[High Five Facts - Climates](https://app.boclips.com/videos/645241a479003504005d21ef)” explores five fun facts about climates and how to differentiate between climate and weather. This science video for third graders teaches students the various ways that climate affects the distribution and livelihood of plants and animals. Children will comprehend the factors that contribute to climate change, both natural and human-induced and then identify some of the wettest, driest, hottest, and coldest places on earth.     ![blog_post_author_default](https://www.boclips.com/hubfs/Boclips%202023%20assets/logo-icon.svg) #### [Tasha Shelton](https://www.boclips.com/blog/author/tasha-shelton) Tasha Shelton is the Partnerships and Licensing Lead at Boclips, where she fosters relationships with content partners, acquires new content, and curates video collections for customers.
