Hundred Years War - The Battle of Castillon - 17th of July 1453
The Battle of Castillon (17th of July 1453), the last big battle of The "Hundred Years War" marks the total victory for the French and the Kingdom of France. The four minute video does not have narration and is a series of graphics that explain the battles and the leaders involved. The video is not good enough to stand alone and needs an explanation before showing.

Theo Jansen is the Dutch creator of what he calls Kinetic Sculptures; where nature and technology meet. Essentially these sculptures are robots powered by the wind. The video was an ad for BMW in 2007 and could be used for various lessons on scientific inquiry, wind power, or engineering. Run time 01:05.
Genes direct the development of a growing embryo. But not all genes in a cell are active at any given time. Sometimes a cell's location in the developing embryo determines which genes get turned on and which genes stay inactive. This video segment from NOVA: "Life's Greatest Miracle" explores the developmental process of an embryo beginning just two weeks after fertilization. Closed captioning included. Run time 07:47.

All objects with mass attract and are attracted by all other objects with mass because of a force called gravity. The strength of gravity is proportional to the mass of the object. We are pulled to the Earth by it's gravitational forces but we also pull the earth towards us. Because we are much less massive than than the Earth, our gravitational pull is not strong enough to have any affect on it. Gravity pulls us towards Earth such that we accelerate at 9.8 m/s^2. &n
