I like showing video clips in class because I think it's a good way to grab my students' attention and spark curiosity. When I can, I like finding clips from old TV shows and movies (not necessarily old to me, but old to our students, lol).
I usually just save videos I like to a YouTube playlist or bookmark them so I can find them later. What I have been doing lately is to include them in PowerPoint presentations so that I don't forget to show them. The problem is that I usually don't want to show the whole clip. Sometimes I will include a note to myself in the presenter notes of where to start and stop. There are lots of sites out there where you can clip videos to specific times if that works better for you.
Here are some that I use in my Chemistry class to help you get started because we all know a search of videos about chemistry is going to give you so many results (many that aren't good for the classroom). Share with us some chemistry videos you've used.
| Acid/Base Neutralization | Strength of Acids |
| Electrochemistry | Phase Change |
