This video considers peoples’ understanding of gravity and through these ideas shows that it is a force of attraction between masses.  Some of the detail is covered in other Veritasium videos.

This video explains the term spin.  It introduces the idea of a magnetic dipole in electrons and shows how, in an external magnetic field, electron spins can be aligned or opposed (different quantum states).

However, when considering just two electrons coupled together the possible quantum positions becomes...

This very basic video shows what people believe water is.  It might be useful as a discussion point.
