Hi Everybody,
Could you please point me to some good video courses on Physics for the High School level and generally of the introductory level?
What I could find meanwhile are: "How Things Work: An Introduction to Physics" from Coursera
and "Intro to Physics" from Udacity.
I am looking for something which is accessible for my 14 y/o son with a good, but pretty non-advanced knowledge of school math (which in his age and in Canada practically means no knowledge of math at all), but on the other side which does not much compromises on teaching some basics of science and ideas and not just entertaining kids. I want him somehow to start seeing beauty and intellectual depth of physics (even at High School level), not necessarily get immediately a good control on the subject (like being able to solve textbook physical problems), but to get some push so he could have some minimal, at least, interest and respect to physics.
Practically, any High School video course will go, I'll anyway need to do my selection, so what I said above is more about my attitude than what you need to take into account when proposing me some course.
Thanks in advance.
