All of my sites have to do with Science:
http://www.brainpop.com/science/seeall/
This site is great because it has cartoon video clips about science. Also, the main site, brainpop.com, has a variety of subjects to choose from. This site would be extremely useful for teachers as a supplement to difficult science lessons. For instance, some of the free videos range from Kinetic Energy to Penguins. These videos will help students understand the material and will be enjoyable for them to watch.

This site provides more information on astrophysical information. There are videos on Kepler's laws that would be beneficial for teachers to show to their classrooms. These would help reinforce the learning and understanding of the formulas by showing a visual representation.
http://dsc.discovery.com/beyond/?clik=www_nav_beyond
This site gives real footage about different science topics. Some show wildlife in its natural habitat while others demonstrate other forms of science, like physics. These videos would entrall students because they are real, therefore, they can relate to them.
I understand why finding effective video clips is important for my classroom. It will supplement my lessons and will give the students a different way of learning the material.

I found one of the examples under the first link. An interesting animated movie. Will be very good resources especailly for younger kids.

The second one is another type (more academic) and it's from NASA. And it'll help kids to see something very 'large' (like a solar system) on the screen.
The discovery is one of my favorite! I found that the feature "search video" is very useful. If the teacher would like to search for a certain topic, they could enter the keywords. Also, the quality of the video is good.
I picked your third link as my favorite posting because I think that it's important that you can grab these little video clips to show in the classroom and that they would be interesting to the students and effective in teaching.
