Bill Nye the Science Guy on Crying
This first video is definitely appropriate for teaching purposes. While the clip is taken from a specific episode, it is still less than 10% of the entire thing. The person who put up the clip also stated which episode/series that he took the clip from. This would be something that I would feel comfortable using in the classroom.
2nd Video-
"Cell Respiration"-Cellular Respiration Song
I found this to be a great example of a educator keeping to the copyright laws. The teacher took a popular song and arranged his own lyrics to it. In his description of the video he was very clear on the purpose of creating and posting this video. He also was sure to give credit those (the Black Eyed Peas) who he based his work off of. He could have included a link to get the real song as well, but since it was for educational purposes it is not necessary.
Hey good job! Just keep in mind, that "educational purposes" only falls into fair use *in the classroom,* and putting it up online is only okay if it's only accessible to your students, and only during the time that they need to study it!
