Immovable Object vs Unstoppable Force - Which Wins?
Take Newton's second law of motion to a new level by considering an un-acceleratable object with infinite mass. The idea is mind-blowing, but it is thoroughly explored in this clever video clip! Challenge your high school physicists by...

Pendulum Catch - Sick Science! #013
What a fun demonstration! Show the video, or better yet, have your physics learners construct this hex nut pendulum and test it themselves. Then have them discuss in groups why the single hex nut wraps around the finger. See if they can...

Newton's Laws of Motion
Classical mechanics are introduced and Newton's Laws of Motion are explained, one at a time. Consisting mostly of still frames and a narrator's voice, this video is difficult to pay attention to. Rather than show it in the classroom,...

Video 5 - Acceleration, part 2
A continuation of a previous video (linked on the webpage), this pays close attention to time and acceleration, using an animated train to demonstrate the concepts. Pupils will like the animation, but might need more explanation on what...
