=This page lists video clips useful for teaching physics.=

Physics Pre-Lecture Videos:
 * This list of physics videos was originally created by the folks at the University of Illinois. They cover a variety of topics.
 * []

HippoCampus has a lot of physics video topics. Some have questions built in to the video.
 * []

[|APlusPhysics] has video mini-lectures covering entire physics courses. Also available on the [|APlusPhysics YouTube Channel] and, if you have a Roku box for your television, the [|APlusPhysics Roku Channel].
 * [|AP Physics 1]
 * [|AP Physics 2]
 * [|AP Physics C: Mechanics]
 * [|AP Physics C: E&M]
 * [|Honors Physics]
 * [|NY Regents Physics]

[|Physics Video Database] on the [|APlusPhysics] Community. More than 500 physics videos, organized by topic, and growing. Please feel free to submit more!

Khan Academy:
 * While they lack clarity, and sometimes mistakenly lead folks to common incorrect misconceptions, Khan Academy does exist. Their material is posted here:
 * []

MIT has some video lectures presented by a variety of folks:
 * [|Walter Lewin is entertaining]:


 * Direct Measurement Videos:** Direct Measurement Videos are short, high-quality videos of real events that allow students to easily explore, measure, and predict physical phenomena. I use them as formative inquiry activities and then summative exercises towards the end of the unit.

[|Colliding Particles - Hunting the Higgs] This is a new (2009) collection of videos describing the process of science by showcasing the work of three physicists. Has great teacher resources, including student activities, power points and downloadable videos.

[|Science 360] This is a collection of videos ranging topics from RFID tagging to NASCAR. Sorted by topic. In particular, I like the interview with Professor Muller at UCB about his Physics for Presidents course, and why it is important for our leaders to understand physics.

Science With Mr. Noon [|YouTube 10 minute clips]and [|full lectures on Yahoo! Video] These clips show classroom physics activities, Fermilab lectures on Modern Physics, and behind the scenes tours of Fermilab particle physics experiments.

 * PBS's Nova Episode Magnetic Storm:**
 * Magnetic Storm questions (.pdf): [[file:NOVA - Magnetic Storm.pdf]]
 * //from Francie Cashman//

This clip shot with a Casio EX-F1 shows that the end of the meter stick has an acceleration greater than g (1.5g) and that at about the 67 cm point, the acceleration is equal to g. Shot by Dan Burns with the help of Rebecca Nixon.media type="file" key="CoinsOnRuler.MOV" width="352" height="352"
 * Falling Meter Stick with Pennies on top in Slo-mo:**


 * **Links to great physics videos and video archives around the web** - St. Mary's Physics Video Links


 * St. Mary's Physics YouTube Channel - "Old School" physics videos and demos


 * Tutorials for creating a YouTube Channel for your class - []


 * **"Show me the Physics"** YouTube Channel - [] - Tony Mangiacapre - physics06@stmary.ws


 * **Physics for Future Presidents**. This course offered at UC Berkley is for non-physics majors. It examines a number of topics from nuclear physics to the physics of stealth that all relate to current topics. There is a popular book written by the professor and all of the lectures are posted here. If you click on //Show More,// you can even download the videos. [|Physics for Future Presidents]
