Many of the following videos were gathered by Kelly Christian Academy - MFW 1850 to Modern Times Blog but were in a different order and were specifically for the science in the My Father's World 1850 to Modern Times science (World of Science) and not Apologia's Exploring Creation with Chemistry and Physics so I'm not sure yet if they will match up exactly.  As we go through the book I am matching what I feel works best and adding my own.

Lesson 4 Videos

All About Crystals in 5 Minutes - My source stated the following about this video - "nice pictures; not fond of the narrator. I do NOT agree with his last statement!" After watching the video, I have to say that I agree with all of the above statements.  (Watch after page 66)

If you have Netflix Instant you might enjoy watching Inside De Beers.  The Netflix description of this video is as follows:  "This volume of the Bloomberg series takes viewers from DeBeers's Botswana diamond mine (the richest in the world) to its London headquarters."
