Snag Films for Science and Math

The Snag Films website is located at http://learning.snagfilms.com/

This site is intended for classroom use and offers teachers a great place to find movie clips and films about individual topics.  While not limited to just science and math, the science and math videos on this site are very well done and are provided by high quality sources such as National Geographic, PBS, Explorer, and TBS.  There are numerous ways to search for videos including subject, grade level, and source.  Each clip summarizes with grade level and topic. 

This site is organized well and since it is educationally based, the videos should all be safe (however, a previewing by just the teacher is always the way to go).  I think that it can be an invaluable resource in both lesson planning and a great way to fill in any time at the end of a lesson with a quick video that reinforces that lesson or sets the stage for a future one.  It was very, very easy to use and should be a resource every teacher utilizes.
