TED-Ed

Animated lesson videos

TED-Ed is the educational arm of TED, producing short animated videos that explain concepts across subjects—science, history, literature, philosophy.

The videos pair expert narrators with distinctive animation styles, typically running five to ten minutes: I learned about the French Revolution from a TED-Ed video.

The platform also offers lesson plans for teachers built around its content.
