YouTube+videos

What videos could we use, and what would we ask the students to do after watching a video?

Sofar channel: http://br.youtube.com/watch?v=1TJWb06p71k&feature=PlayList&p=B8E79C294140B7D2&index=6 (one of three) connections to sound waves in the ocean (looks very good, and I used to babysit this guy's daughter). Links to fiber optics.

Lots of links that look like they might be interesting. Many seem to be related to sound. http://www.colorado.edu/physics/phys1240/phys1240_fa07/links.html

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lXLOXyPBPg This video on optics looks well directed at high school students. Mention of "nanometers". A bunch of engineers say how cool it is to be an engineer. There is a part II to this video.

Also, "how camera lenses are made"
