In my endless search for educational TV viewing which my kids just LOVE, I came across this site. It has an enormous amount of educational ( ok some are dubious in their claim) tv shows, video clips and music. FREE to view! I was sent here in my search for Magic school Bus episodes we havnt seen yet but havnt even looked at those yet! ( apparently they are ALL there) We got hooked on the science clips, atoms, molecules etc.
Do check it out you are bound to find something. We use this sort of stuff for filling in otherwise wasted time, like when I brush the girls hair or when they are ready a few minutes early, even sometimes while they clean their teeth. We also watch ALOT of educational tv stuff in the car.
Anyway here is the link http://sqooltools.com/edvideos/index.html
Thanks so much! My son has been hooked on molecules, atoms and elements for some months now.
You are probably already aware but I thought I would post some for others.

And of course
Ooooohhh, NICE! Love that it is organized by subject for quick access. Thanks for sharing!
We also use great video clips from the BBC–Class Clips is a resource for teachers where you can quickly search more than 9000 BBC educational video clips (by age for content!) to find what you need:
Oh its always good to share! I got one more new one from your links! Thnkyou lovely ladies :biggrin:
This video from youtube is quite nice. It helps children to learn the periodic table in a funny way: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0zION8xjbM
I have tried to write a reply three times, but everytime I get near this page my kids want to watch that clip again! Apparently it is a hit! Thankyou :yes:
You are very welcome! I am not surprised your kids loved it, I do it too.
In spanish there are also nice educational videos. For example this one is about Mesopotamia:

(I added the second part of the episode).
I love this thread. You have hooked me up big time!!! Thanks so much. It is so lovely when friends share. 
Hinata, you are a gem! :yes: We loved that link too. Thankyou and Karma to you 
I added all their clips to our favourites. My son watched this one and absolutely cracked himself laughing at their funny eye brows. He watched it twice back to back, laughing each time. I must admit I had a giggle too lol But we loved the content…and even though I cant follow the words (I dont speak spanish, but I want to teach it) I can follow some of the conversation. So I am sure my older kids will love it too.
These are truely brilliant! I REALLY like them. They will entertain kids of a very large age group. Your addition to this thread is VERY appreciated Hinata. Please add any other gems you find.
Thank you, that´s very flattering. In that youtube channel there are other videos that belong to the same series. For example this one is about Ancient Egypt.

In youtube I´ve also found animated Shakespeare tales. I am not sure if that´s suitable for young children though.

lol lol lol lol Come I’ll Manacle Thy neck and feet together" hmm my kids would get a kick out of it. “mum whats a manacle” “here I will show you” lol lol lol I might pre view that one.
So with my really limited spanish I found a number of the videos in the series. Thanking them for giving me numbers (1/2. 2/2 very helpful!)
Jaykob told me he understood some of what they were saying. I asked him if he wants to learn to speak like that, and he very excitedly said YES YES YES! Cool :biggrin:
