This site has a lot of video resources from the US on several curriculum areas such as Science, English, Maths and The Arts. I have personally used many of the videos for Science on water and plants. You do need to register to use the site, but registration is free and with no obligation.

The following is the websites blurb on what they are all about.....

EdPod presents a mix of education stories, from early childhood to the end of secondary school. It's a jargon-free look at the experience of educators, researchers, parents and students. EdPod examines new education ideas, and asks whether things could or should be done differently. From the classroom to the staff room and on to the home - EdPod brings you the latest ideas about learning.
