For example, this is a GCSE one. The voices on it are a bit boring, but the information is there. The video is like a Q&A with definitions and annotated pictures. However I do not think the video is really classroom friendly as it is a bit boring.
However, I found these next two which are a bit more fun and hopefully more memorable! They could be referred back to in latter lessons and be remembered due to the simplistic pictures and one the second one due to the music.
This one is by far more simplistic, but could be played a few times and talked through to show how a glacier is made. Students could then create their own simplistic drawings and annotations alongside in their books to remember how a glacier is formed. Could set a task e.g. pick the three/four key moments in glacial formation and draw them as simplistically as seen in the video. (Video needs to be started from about 33 seconds in. The intro is pointless).

(For some reason, the blog cannot find the video but the link should work!)
This second one has more detail and words which would need explaining either during or before. The video also explains glacial movement so depending on what is needed only half or all the video can be used or even used over two lessons. Same idea as above, but maybe with a higher age group or once the basics have been covered. The two videos could even work together to get students to memorise how glaciers are produced. (Video only actually 3 mins 20 the rest is just credits. The video has the Benny Hill music playing continuously. However, as stated above, even though it would drive you crazy, it should hopefully be a memory prompt for some students.)
