Classhook allows you to search for video clips from popular TV shows and movies that are educational and relevant to your topic.  There are filters to narrow down your search based on grade level and clip length.  

This looks like a great resource to find relevant and engaging video clips to enhance your lessons.  

I searched for Solar System and found short clips from TV shows like National Geographic,Ready Jet Go!(PBS Kids), Ice Age, Bill Nye, Animaniacs, The Ellen Degeneres Show,  Magic School Bus, and Beakman’s World.

I searched Characters for ELA and got results that included clips from Pay it Forward, Matilda, Despicable Me, The Big bang Theory, The Breakfast Club, etc.

For Fractions I found results from Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Maths Mansion, Cyber Chase, etc.

For The Industrial Revolution I founds clips from America The Story of Us, Newsies, Seabiscuit, The Prestige, The Simpsons, The Great Gatsby, Titanic, and Gangs of New York.

You can get access to all the clips with a free account.
