Here is a $300 physics video series for free.      educator.com                                  username: normanhighschool   password:  tigers

Here’s the ENTIRE Physics course at Yale:  Lectures, problem sets, keys to problem sets.  This is amazing.  Who needs Askey anymore?

Here’s the ENTIRE Physics course at MIT: Everything you need.  Oh if you need me, I’ll be lounging at home sipping on a big cup of coffee while contemplating the future of teaching.

Leonard Susskind (Stanford University and rival of Stephen Hawking) (see an example of the rivalry) goes over some of the big ideas in Classical Physics in a series of 6 lectures at Standford.  Warning: This is old school (2007)  teaching although he is good about stopping to answer questions. He’s a true genius, but with a brooklyn plumber’s accent and sensibility.  These lectures come from This Stanford Website.
