ESL vocabulary lesson http://www.teachertube.com/view_video.php?viewkey=963395fbab4a85d0b8f8
Although obviously homemade, this video is a wonderful example of ESL instruction using video implementation. It is a great jumping off point for you to use in your classroom, creating your own videos for vocabulary lessons, or even encouraging your students to create their own! (1:52)
Ruben's Tube Physics Experiment http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpovwbPGEoo
The classic physics experiment involving sound, a tube of propane and fire. Created for Flash Forward 2006, but useful in any case where you are not allowed to have fire. I push through the tube 449 Hz then higher frequencies, then some jazz and then some rock. This is real life sound visualization. (2:48)
