Note that "free" means no charge to download, but that doesn't mean copyright free. At the very least you will need to cite where you got these clips (same as citing a written source of info in an essay) if you are sharing your creation with your teacher/class; if you are going to post your creation anywhere public then you must ensure you do have the right to use publicly, or use and remix if applicable, the clips you download here as well (as give the proper attribution to the original artist).
