SciShow

SciShow is a long-running science channel created by Hank Green. A team of hosts and writers makes explainers on a wide range of science topics.

Videos cover biology, chemistry, physics, earth science and the history of science. Most are between ten and 15 minutes, with some longer deep dives. The hosts talk directly to the camera, backed up by graphics and clear references to the research. The channel is good at explaining why scientists disagree and how new evidence changes ideas.

Some highlights include:

This video explains the chemistry of mothballs and why they have fallen out of use.

This longer video looks at the research behind a new scientific explanation for the Dyatlov Pass incident, a famous mystery in the Ural Mountains.

This one explores the evidence archaeologists use to decide which settlement counts as the first city.

The channel has over 8.4 million subscribers.

SciShow is broad rather than focused on engineering, but it builds the scientific curiosity engineers rely on. Videos on chemistry link to chemical engineering and materials, and its stories about research show how evidence is tested and checked. It suits younger teenagers and anyone still exploring which science they enjoy most. The archive is huge, so a quick search on any topic will usually turn up a clear explanation. It is a good habit to follow up on the sources mentioned in each video.
