Top 10 Video: Finland is the Best Educational System in the World (Science Subject)






Finland is one of the Country which focus on the Best Educational System.
This video is the summary of all videos that can be used in Science learning method.

Top Ten Videos : How to build water rocket




This video is very interesting because it focus on practical method and encourage student to applied theory into experiment. This video emphasize on the theories of pressure and aerodynamic. Even the experiment may quite costly due to launcher equipment, we strongly agreed that this video can make science more fun.

Top Ten Videos : Fun With Science (Sound)




This video focuses on sound. What makes this video interesting is the way the host uses animation to make the subject interesting. Portraying everything he say in animation makes not only what he says interesting but also would make it easier for the viewer to understand what he is explaining.

Other than that, the host uses songs with lyrics that are simple to make the video fun. Viewer could sing along and indirectly understand what is being thought.



Top Ten Videos: Easy Understanding on Matter




It is easy to understand when learning Matter by watching this video. The video from the start provides clear information in simple sentences that is understandable for all ages including school students. With presentation delivered like a storyline and using examples from our surrounding environment, the viewers especially students can digest and learn the topic in just 4 minutes compared to have classes in school for learning a single topic. This video also can be as a tool aid for teachers in helping their teaching in schools. So enjoy the video!!

Why ranked at #7?
The video somehow is attached with disturbing sound. The video does not present enough with colorful presentation which can promote children as attracted learning material. Furthermore, it is also does not have command in language, only focus on presentation without supportive audio instruction compared to another similar video discussing the same topic about matter which is ranked #2. However, the video still provides with careful and precise information about matter within 4 minutes, which teachers will usually cover the topic in school for two or three class periods.

Top ten videos: Matter

Want to know the difference between solid, liquid and gas? Here is a simple way to learn all these things. Kindly useful to know about matters in general. The video is subjected to science education.This video is beneficial for primary and secondary schools' students.

Despite of its poor quality of sounds, all of us agreed that the video is some what very clear in terms of the level of understandings. Considering that it is emphasized on schools' students, this video might be very helpful.

However, another sources of information such as text books, lectures and experiments are required for additional knowledge.

Top Ten Videos : PhotoSynthesis




What do Lights and Carbon Dioxide share in common? Yup, they both are recognized in the process of photosynthesis.


The video of photosynthesis , can relate student 's prior knowledge on photosynthesis, an important process for any plant with chlorophyll phytochemical.





In the video, the author even goes beyond to explain why forest are needed in the process. Such pity for us in IIUM, to actually goes backward, in the process of 'avoiding' collateral damage to the properties, ignorantly.

I think this video deserved to be rank at number one. the movement of objects in the video is helpful in aiding audience's understanding. The explanation are clear too. Both elements of audio and visual are supplicant for the sake of education purpose.

Top Ten Videos : Moon Creation (materialist View)



One of the subtopics learned during Science in Form One in Malaysia Secondary School is the reintroduction of solar system.


Among the solar object, is the moon itself. Here, is the stop motion video, explaining the moon creation, in simpler way of understanding it, from the materialist creation point of view.

A better way to use this video, would be, during the first 3 minutes class introduction to the solar system itself,  before the class lecture even begins. Such term, can initiate class interest.

Student can even indulge in buzzed session prior to the video, of course, under certain questions inspected  by the teacher.
