Sick Science. Specializes in simple but awesome at-home science experiments.
MinutePhysics Covers a ton of topics; students especially like the ones related to space. Check out the one that answers the very important question, “is it better to walk or run in the rain?”
MinuteEarth A big hit with earth science concepts
Brusspup Has crazy science illusions (The videos vary in quality, with the more recent ones being the best.)
Bill Nye the Science Guy. You may be watching YouTube, but you can still go retro with old Bill Nye the Science Guy episodes and clips. Bill Nye appears in many recent videos, too, but it’s fun to watch these again with my kids. A list of clips is here
Veritasium. Great for those of you that like to explore and switch topics. The videos are varied, there are interviews, test your knowledge challenges and science explanations. If you are a dare devil, watch the video about rocket science.
Periodic Videos. This channel has a video for each element, plus loads of extras. I particularly like their slo mo videos. Also: check out the hair.
Cornell Lab of Ornithology. This is for the bird nut. People are caught watching these videos for hours.
