Wood Lake Publishers (they do Seasons of the Spirit) has two videos called:
Parables From Science - OUT OF PRINT
and
More Parables From Science - OUT OR PRINT

Description: These videos come to us from our Whole People of God friends in Australia! The videos feature Australian children's television personality, Dr. Deane Hutton of The Curiosity Show. Dr. Hutton uses sometimes amazing, sometimes surprising science experiments to illustrate Bible truths. In each video clip, he performs the experiment on camera and then offers instructions for doing the experiment yourself.

Review: These are great. They are compilations of a tv show that was originally broadcast in Australia. The host scientist demonstates a scientific principle using simple everyday objects (usually simple everyday). Then he draws a biblical principle. Following the actual demo there is also an explanation where the science guy describes the supplies and how the demo is set up. There is also a more indepth explanation of the science if necessary.
These are not videos to show to the kids but to watch and learn how to set up your own demonstration. Some things an entire class could recreate others you would 'do' the demonstration for the class.

I based a lesson I posted on the call of the disciples on the demonstration from the video on magnets. We had a great time talking about what 'attracted' people to Jesus.
