Sixty Symbols

While looking for videos of Chladni plates for my presentation on sound, I came across a site with a lot of well produced videos on common physics topics. Called Sixty Symbols, it is a series from the University of Nottingham physics department. Most run from 7-9 minutes long and usually feature a demonstration of some sort. Like the PheT site, some of the videos are better than others and a few of the professors they talk to seem ill-prepared. Other videos are much more intriguing, my favorite so far is the one on Schrodinger's Cat. The level of the talks seem a tad high for my 9th graders, but may fit well in a science class.
