The apparent weight of an hourglass – If you want to challenge yourself, or an expert in physics, consider this: If an hourglass weighs $W$, and it is flipped over and placed on a very sensitive scale with its sand falling steadily, will the reading on that scale be greater than, less than, or equal to the weight of the hourglass?

The witch scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail A culturally-insenstive, funny comedy with a vague and incorrect reference to buoyancy...but funny nevertheless.

PhET Simulations

These links to colorado.edu are playful interactive computer simulations for a variety of phenonmena:

moving-man (phet.colorado.edu) (java)
Learn about position, velocity, and acceleration graphs. Move the little man back and forth with the mouse and plot his motion. Set the position, velocity, or acceleration and let the simulation move the man for you.
simulation: equation grapher (phet.colorado.edu) (HTML5)
"Discover how changing coefficients changes the shape of a curve. View the graphs of individual terms (e.g. $y=bx$) to see how they add to generate the polynomial curve. Generate definitions for vertex, roots, and axis of symmetry. Compare different forms of a quadratic function. Define a curve by its focus and directrix."
