I love using using videos in instruction. To be useful they must be under 7 minutes. I thought I would start a list of favs and maybe others could share too
Student are often think that any and all radioactivity is deadly. I like to use this video to show that it can also be useful around the house

How Does a Smoke Detector Work[/url]
This video could be used in a lesson about radioactivity or one about the periodic table

Here are the clips I use in my until on atomic structure
1. Where do the elements come from?

2. The building blocks of matter[/url]
In this episode we learn that the Greeks knew about atoms and how Mendeleyev's periodic table was among the first clues that the atom had a deeper structure.
3. Discovery of the electron
4. Rutherford

I love to use short clips also. PBS LearningMedia has some good ones as well. The site is free, but you need to register to download media. Here are two I'm using in my high school atomic structures unit. They are clips from A Science Odyssey.
Atoms: The Space Between
Quantum Mechanics
They've got good ones for biology and physics as well.
(If the links don't work, go to the main page with the PBS LearningMedia link above and search for the names; they assign me to the WV state PBS group)

Here is a collection of short videos on the elements. The Periodic Table on the main page has a link on each element symbol to a video about that element.

Chris,
The weblink you gave on the Periodic Table is wonderful. Each individual video is very informative about the atomic structure of the element and how that element is used in the everyday world.

Explore a series of human stories around the naturally-occurring elements. Part of the 94 Elements project.
94 Elements is a new web-based global filmmaking project, exploring our lives through the lens of the elements. Become part of the project now at www.indiegogo.com/94elements
There are 94 naturally occurring elements, from Hydrogen to Plutonium. Together they make up everything in the world. The stories of the elements are intimately connected to the stories of our own lives. Everything we use and create is made from them. Our own bodies are mostly made from just 6 of the elements. They affect our lives in countless ways, and their stories reveal our relationship with our resources and the patterns of our economies. Visit the project website at www.94elements.com

In my web searching this evening, I just discovered a new series of videos that I think my students will enjoy....
They are from PHD Comics. Here is one explaining Dark Matter.
My children also really like the Vlog Brothers (John and Hank Green)...though I think you may have to screen them for classroom purposes. Their Crash Course videos teach about many of the fundamental principles in Chemistry. To date there are 33 of them, but I think there are plans for more.

Here are some tips of how to better use a video in a classroom:

Here are some cool videos that could be used in the classroom:

(The Slow Mo Guys are me personal favorite and I think kids would be really engaged in these videos)

Thank you for the link to how to use video more effectively.
I also watched the other links. I liked to one on surface tension.
How do you use the one with the rubber bands around the watermelon?
