Social Studies (US History): How did the US and Canada create the border?

I am not going to lie, I have never considered this question.  I did, however find that the answer to the border creation between the US and Canada to be quite entertaining and very informative.  CGP Grey has a Youtube channel full of Social Studies information that you might find interesting and willing to share with your students.  In this visually discusses how the US and Canada agreed upon the current borders.  In some instances they still don't agree.  If you are teaching a class a little bit about how the two countries interact this might be an interesting educational video to show.  Grey does an excellent job discussing the facts using historical maps and pictures.

Statistics: Child mortality rates 1960-2013

I am a huge fan of Hans Rosling and his statistical work.  Statistics don't lie or have emotion, so if they are gathered properly we can study and understand human events better.  In this video, Hans discusses how there is a myth that the "undeveloped" countries are still having huge child mortality rates.  He demonstrates that the world is getting better and smarter, even in countries like Ethiopia.
