REF, MIDDLE: Info on videos about space

[Debbie Heitzenrater <DHeitzenra@AOL.COM>]

Hello,

I am a teacher, as well as, a library media student.  I am helping my
school's library media specialist with a "problem".  I work in a K-8
elementary building.  The 7th-8th grade science teacher is wanting some
videos to use with her space unit.  In this unit, she covers such items as
the planets; comets, asteroids, and meteorites; black holes; constellations;
astronomers; and communication attempts with outer space.

Do you know of any "good" videos that cover space or some of the items I
mentioned above?
What are the titles?  What does the video cover?
Have you used the video?  What is your opinion of the video?
Where can it be purchased?  When was the video created?
Is it appropriate for 7-8th grade students?
How could the video be used by the teacher and/or students?

Here are some of the videos I located in catalogs.  Do you have any feedback
you could give me on these titles?
       National Geographic-STV:  Solar System (videodiscs)
       National Geographic-GeoKit Astronomy
       The Astronomers Series (PBS documentary) narrated by Richard
Chamberlain
       Exploring Our Solar System (found in Library Video Catalog by
Schlessinger Media)

Feel free to give me whatever information you can.  Any information will be
greatly appreciated.  This video order will need to be placed within the next
few weeks.  Sorry for the short response time given to you.

I would like to thank in advance those who took the time to consider and/or
respond to my request.
