Linked Lists (single and doubly linked), stacks, and queues are explained on this page from Visu Algo. The site is more than a simple animation of the data structures - it allows students to interact and perform different operations (insert, remove, find, etc), then displays the pseudo-code to achieve the result while showing an animation of the data structure.

Visu Algo is another site which offers animated visualizations of common computing algorithms. The great thing about their animated sorting algorithms is the ability to display pseudo-code next to the animation and have it run step-by-step, following each line of code as it is processed. Really useful for helping students better understand code.

CS Field Guide has an extremely comprehensive page about searching and sorting algorithms, including clear explanations, animated examples, and interactives. It covers algorithm efficiency and cost.

The Searching Boxes game from the CS Field Guide makes for a good lesson starter and can help students understand the need for different searching algorithms. Once they have tried part 1, students could try Searching Boxes Part 2 and try to devise a better search algorithm.

Using a combination of playing cards and simple computer animations, this video clearly explains the bubble sort and merge sort algorithms step by step. It also compares the speed of each algorithm of data sets of different sizes.

The second half of the video examines the complexity of the algorithms, introducing 'Big O' notation and highlighting how bubble sort's complexity is a major drawback on large lists.

This is another interactive to help students learn about sorting algorithms. They must use a set of virtual scales to test and compare the weights of 10 jars. Students must then line the jars up in the correct order at the bottom of the page. There are, of course, multiple ways to solve the problem - some more efficient than others. CS Field Guide have a similar game.

Another page with animated examples of various sorting algorithms, including bubble sort (standard and optimised versions), merge sort, and insertion sort. The animation speed can be increased or decreased to help visualise the process.

This Harvard CS50 video tells you everything you might want to know about the binary search algorithm. The video includes a detailed step by step explanation, plus pseudo code, and an example data set.

This Bubble Sort video does exactly as its name suggests - explaining the algorithm clearing with the aid of diagrams. Although it is labelled as "Java", it is relevant to all computer science students.

There is also a good explanation of the algorithm (including why it is very inefficient) plus step by step diagrams here.

A lot of Joe James' videos feature on this site, simply because they are very clear and concise. His coverage of the insertion sort algorithm is excellent.

Harvard's CS50 Insertion sort is another good example, while TutorialsPoint has a set of clear diagrams.

Harvard's CS50 Merge sort video uses a really clear approach - numbered plastic cups which are moved around as we step through the algorithm. The same approach is used in all of their sorting algorithm videos, making it easy to compare different sorting algorithms.

Joe James' Merge sort algorithm video is also very clear.

For Merge sort in particular, step by step diagrams can be very helpful in understanding the algorithm. TutorialsPoint has a good set of diagrams, plus pseudocode.
