The Eyewitness series and the National Geographic Kids Video series. Not

to forget the Magic Schoolbus series

The RAINBOW videos are excellent.  They are usually about 20 minutes
long and
cover many different topics.  They are somewhat expensive (approx. $100
per
video), but well worth it.  I also like the EYEWITNESS videos (approx.
$25)
good for grades 3+.

Any of the Eyewitness series from Dorling Kindersley,
National Geographic school videos, many of the Reading Rainbow
series, Discovery Channel School videos.

Eyewitness puts out several fine series of nonfiction videos for $12.95
each.

Our teachers like the Really Wild Animals series

My teachers were thrilled with the See How They Grow Videos (No Yucky
stuff) and the National Geographic  Wild Animal Series for children.

I have found the grade 2-3 teachers really like the series from
National Geographic called Really Wild Animals. They are divided into
habitats or geographical areas, mostly.  So far I can esp. recommend
Deep
Sea Dive, Polar Prowl and Totally Tropical Rain Forest.  Reasonably
priced
at 15.00, too.

I like Eyewitness Videos for animals.
   For historical figures, inventors, etc. try the American Hero
Classics from Nest.  Each video comes with an educational workbook and
the stories fit in with character trait curriculum.  Titles include:
George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Alexander Graham Bell, Marie Curie,
Galieo, Harriet Tubman, etc.  Character traits included are:
Persistance, Leadership, Caring, Integrity, Patience, etc.
