Schoolhouse Rock celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. It is a series of animated musical educational music videos that aired during Saturday morning children's programming on U.S. television network ABC. Topics covered include grammar, science, economics, history, mathematics, politics and environmentalism. On this page, I have created links for grammar, science, math and history. I will add to this page from time to time to include other subject areas. Click on the pictures to go to the video. (NOTE: If the link is broken, you can go to You Tube. (updated 2/6/23)
I do not own the rights to these videos. You can purchase the set from Amazon or other online retailers.
