I'm an award-winning science and social studies teacher from Louisiana, and I want to share my lessons with the world. Oh, and I wear a lab coat to work every day.
Most videos are from my flipped classroom. The older Earth Science and World History videos are great... but they're also based on a textbook. The newer videos are created and developed myself, and align to NCSS (Social Studies) and NGSS (Science). If you want to purchase the materials, check out my TeachersPayTeachers page: www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Loren-Klein
There's plenty more over here, including my Phenomenon Explained (Science) and Little State Big History (Social Studies) series. While they're Louisiana-focused, anyone anywhere can learn about the world from them.

I just now found this video, and you, Loren. First time viewer, subscribed before the end of it! I have lived and worked most of my life all over the Canadian Shield and know it well: born in Sudbury Ontario, grew up around Parry Sound, worked out of Kenora for a while and dove back and forth more times then I can count. Stopping on Lake Superior to do some rock hunting is how I break up my trips. Thank you for all the info you shared I like learning something new about places I am familiar with. I can't wait to check out the rest of your videos
I think I’m your alter ego
Arrogance of man in the pursuit to control nature …….. for a bit anyway
No I hate this
I just discovered these videos. Well done past Mr. Klein!
I was going to save your video, but I cannot now. Please learn how to properly pronounce the word: "Nuclear". >> NU-CLE-AR << It is really quite simple. Why do so many people speak sloppy english? That is what I really want to know.
"Drill, baby, drill"
Are you sure that the body of the helicopter spins with the rotor blades direction of spin or opposite? Remember the effect of the torque created in the spin of the rotor?
That was so interesting!
Awesome videos. I love seeing the history and geology of my back yard, South Louisiana. That shirt is awesome!
2:41 That's veritasium's grandpa.
The New Miderd Earthquake made the Mississippi River run back words .
wait where is Endergonic and Exergonic. And like Exothermic is the release of thermal energy and Endothermic gains thermal energy
oh loren where do i even begin
"Take that, flat earthers." Nice. <g>
The delta first started forming up by New Madrid, Missouri at the end of the Mississippi Ebayment. That was a basin that became flooded with sea water after rifting forced South America away from North America. Myron Cook's YT channel has three great videos about that and how sediments formed most of Texas and Louisiana.
The Atlantic Magazine has an excellent article online about how the Mississippi almost reverted back to its old channel in 1973. The Mississippi River channel routinely moved east to west then back to repeat the process. Lake Charles was formed the same way as Lake Ponchitrain when the delta was north of Houston. Louisiana's gulf coast was constantly being washed away with higher ground being created as annual flooding deposited more sediment on the lowlands. That has stopped due to modern flood controls. Those controls have allowed the Atchafalaya channel to become quite deep to provide a faster outlet to the GoM. The ACoE figured a failure of the dam at one end would have so much water rushing thru that the rest of the dam structure would've been swept away. The massive constant flow of water would cut the old channel deeper and wider so 99% of the Mississippi would flow into it, leaving the channel south of it as a giant mudflat with a small river running thru the center.
Greedy Oil companies?.......... Damn, that was a lucky guess!
You sir, had already spoken of my interests in hurricanes in Louisiana history. Now i passionately listen to your awesome, again energetic and well-narrarated other love: The Teche Campaign. My work at 60 years old seldom allows me to peruse these subjects but WOW. My great great grandfather was commanding a battery section of the 5th PELICAN battery that day at Bisland. Colonel Leopold Armant also of St James parish was his best friend.
TYSM
You sound like a weather reporter! 1:00
Thanks for the nice presentation 👍 De VU2RZA
Did yll fix it up since the hurricane is the pictures updated
I’m surprised you didn’t include more BS like one side of the bridge is 3inches long to compensate for the curve lol
The north shore is not over the horizon, it is just further than one’s eye can see!!! Take that globist
The 't' is silent in 'Bonnet'. Pronounced "Bonny". You're welcome.
NUCLEAR!!! There’s no second u in nuclear
The Canadian shield is a beautiful place. I have place on it.
I feel like letting the mississippi river slowly and controlled switch to the atchafalaya river would be smart as a whole to even cut cost of maintaining the current system and allowing new cities to build in a spot where it won't flood every year or every other year like new Orleans
I love all the Battlefield Louisiana videos. Do you have any plans for videos on the 1864 Red River Campaign? 160th anniversary is this year.
I love all battlefield Louisiana videos
Time for a better mic
Its called "al looong", not 'allung'. along.
4:58 Anyone offended by this? 😅😂
loren,you know as well as i and many others know the reason the mississippi river is losing water is because a man named shreve(for his own greed) promoted the diversion of the red river into the atchafalaya basin,which at that time wasnt as large as it is now,thereby diverting the amount of water going into the mississippi river to less than before that occured.
What was NOT discussed is the small-but-possible event of an avulsion through Bonnet Carre to Lake Pontchartrain. This would help the gradient, and take a lot of strain off the system whilst at the same time maintaining the status quo at Baton Rouge and New Orleans. It would kick the can of an Atchafalaya avulsion several hundred years into the future. Not a permanent solution, but there isn't one because even an Atchafalaya avulsion would, in time, silt up and there would be another avulsion. That is in the nature of deltas. A substantial "encouraged avulsion" through Lake Pontchartrain coupled to the already-planned increased flow along Bayou Lafourche might give some centuries of stability IMHO.
After this video was made, the statue of Gen. Mouton was in fact taken down. It now resides at Camp Moore in Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana.
The Canadian shield is reason lake superior never gives up her dead. And why Wasaga beach exists on Georgian bay. The group of seven painted Canadian shield eons ago. Bobby Orr's uncle had a butcher shop on the shield as well. It has existed for quite some time now.
I would LOVE for this switch to happen. And I live in New Orleans. We need to rebuild our coastline.
The US economy is much more important than Louisiana's coastline which has been washing away ever since the deltas had reached the GoM.
Thanks for sharing the video. Very informative!!!❤❤😂❤
You'd probably be better off describing the gunboats as "steaming" up the waterways, as opposed to "sailing." That's how the crews would have.
Me noticing this video is labeled for middle school but I'm watching it before reading about the engineering in my 200-level college geology course WOW. Absolutely blessed middle schoolers! And me--I need AV info delivery before I can comprehend text so thank you!!
Your thumbnail just screams "Captain Canada!". And yes the Shield is the core of North America along with the Wyoming and Slave Cratons. The rest to the south and west are just Johnny come lately's crashing the party.
Love this teacher. If he fascinates now, I envy the kids that are lucky enough to be in his class now. I had no more than 3 teachers like him throughout graduate school and I still remember them. This guy is a natural teacher.
0:40 and there’s those stinking Asian carp
In May 2014 early 2015 a survey group looking to put in an old wig and a Gulf of Mexico off of New Orleans found three sunken German submarines from the Second World War with all of the equipment intact look that one up
Thanks from michigan
Thanks for making this video, was in the middle of reading the battle in the bayou country by Morris Rapheal and thought maybe someone might of made video and here you are. Much easier to understand what happened. Loved ❤ the video. Might have to stop in area next spring to check it out.
yea mr. klein. current student here
brian?
You’re welcome:)
