Paul Andersen is a science teacher and a technology specialist in Montana, and has this great video on Metacognition. In this video he provides ten tips on increasing comprehension.
He also has an amazing number of other resources available on his website http://www.bozemanscience.com/ including science videos, other educational videos, and a journal. He recently presented a TEDx talk about how to use game design to improve student learning. Great resources and food for thought.

Scoop.it!
"One of the great things about teaching today is the wealth of educational videos that are available on the web. No longer do we have to flip through catalogs, order a VHS cassette, wait for it to arrive, and hope that it is as good as the catalog made it sound. Now we can quickly access and screen educational videos. In fact, there is so much available that the challenge is sifting through it all."
Beth Dichter's insight:
Richard Byrne has put together a great list of 10 websites that provide excellent videos for science. Sites include: * The Spangler Effect from Steve Spangler Science (demonstrations of science experiments) * Gooru - a website that has been mentioned in this Scoop.it. "Gooru is a service that aims to provide teachers and students with an extensive collection of videos, interactive displays, documents, diagrams, and quizzes for learning about topics in math and science." If you have not taken the opportunity to check out Gooru it is worth your time. * MIT Tech TV which has thousands of videos. More information on these sites and seven additional sites is available in the post!

Kids science, math, social studies, history, geography and other educational videos, lessons, quizzes and educational games for K-12 grade kids that make learning fun and interesting.

If you are looking from some short (as in 1 - 2 minute) videos that may help you begin a science lesson check out Ask Smithsonian, located on the Smithsonian website.
You will find over 40 videos available. The topics vary, from What is the Origin of Applesauce to Is Quicksand Real to Why Do Bugs Die on Their Back. You will also find some videos that are applicable to social studies, such as How Did King Tut Die.
