The
Mechanical Universe Series by PBS: This is an excellent
series produced by Public Broadcasting, JPL lab and the California Institute
of Technology. Each one of these 52 films is 30 minutes long so they require almost an entire class period to show
the whole thing, however you may also cue up the video and show only the part you desire.
D) Laserdiscs
1) Encyclopedia
of Physics Demonstrations (600 2-5 minute videos of experiments)
These discs are very easy to use in class, generally contain quite good
information and are easy for the students to understand.
2) Tacoma Narrows Bridge
3) 250 Films of Physics
Cinema Classics
These discs can be difficult to use in class but the information they contain is good.
