When all else fails, you can always use a movie to fill a few class periods.
As you already know, there are countless videos that can be connected to science curriculum. Some featuring hard core science, others popular theater-run movies with science content. And while not a substitute for hands-on learning and thinking, they do provide a nice way to change things up every so often.
If/when you go with a movie, I highly recommend you check out Movie Sheets. There you will find worksheets to accompany movies, created and uploaded by other science teachers.
The films are sorted by science topic, which is useful if you're unsure what to show but want something to fit your curriculum.
But, if you have a move-in-hand that you want to show, you can search for that title as well.
Many films have more than one worksheet available, so you can choose the one that best suits your needs. Or, you can choose the best part of each worksheet and create your own.
The best part of the Movie Sheets database is that the list of movies runs the gamut: NOVA videos, Bill Nye videos, the Eyewitness video series, animated features and Hollywood action flicks.
