Ok so it's easy to get lost in uTube for quite some time....... There are really some wonderful video clips on it that I use in my science class. Often though I find my videos from universities. I like to use video clips for demos which are too dangerous for me to do in the classroom or are too expensive for me to purchase.
I also love the animations which show biological processes and make them much more understandable. I show this video clip to my AP Bio students at the beginning of the year with the music http://www.studiodaily.com/main/technique/tprojects/6850.html It's really fun to watch and I assure them that they will understand the video by the end of the year. Toward the end of the year I play this version http://multimedia.mcb.harvard.edu/media.html which has a voice over identifying the parts and the process in the cell. The students are amazed at what they have learned after the second playing.
Honestly, I think that some of the video clips and the animations for science have really helped explain some very difficult concepts. They have also helped me to understand topics better so that I can explain them in a variety of ways.
