https://joechem.io/videos/25 for video on jOeCHEM and attached worksheet + solution (below video on jOeCHEM aka the link). In this video, we take an inside look at the Diels Alder Reaction, dissecting its transition state. With a concept known as The Endo Effect (which stabilizes the transition state through conjugation) we can better understand why Diels Alder products exhibit the regiochemistry (where the chemistry actually happens) that they do and how it allows us to use the "In and Out" Rule approach to predict products.
