Interactive Science Menu Featuring Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Earth Science Topics.
This Google Slides lesson uses short, curated videos to explore science concepts connected to Valentine’s Day themes through a structured student-choice format. Students select from a set of video-based investigations and analyze each topic using guided questions.
Students choose from approximately ten science topics and:
watch a short, kid-friendly video
answer content-based and reasoning questions
explain the scientific mechanisms behind familiar Valentine’s-related phenomena
Topics include examples such as:
animal courtship and bonding behaviors
how candy message hearts are manufactured
biological and chemical processes related to attraction and communication
and other holiday-themed science phenomena
The lesson is organized as a choice board, with a recommended number of activities to complete while allowing flexibility based on time and instructional goals. Each holiday icon links to a slide with a video and related questions, and a navigation icon returns students to the main menu.
This lesson is designed to support:
application of science concepts to everyday contexts
explanation of real-world phenomena
engagement through structured student choice
short-form analysis of multimedia science sources
It functions well as:
a seasonal science activity
an enrichment or review task
a low-prep digital choice board lesson
The structure allows students to investigate multiple science ideas while practicing explanation and interpretation across a variety of short, focused topics.
PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOUR SCHOOL/DISTRICT ALLOWS YOUTUBE ACCESS BEFORE PURCHASE.
