I'm buried under a couple of pieces of work right now, but I did want to share a couple of fun science videos.
Here is a great example of magnetic levitation via superconductivity.
Those Mythbusters guys had a great time trying to make a giant Newton's Cradle using wrecking balls. It didn't work well (and I assigned a homework problem looking at why this was the case).
I just heard yesterday that there's a full-length version of the theme song to the Big Bang Theory. Pretty educational, though the lyrics imply that there'll be a Big Crunch, and we now know that's unlikely (see this year's Nobel in physics).
Here is a cool collection of videos, from minutephysics. Good stuff!

I'm curious what the Newton's Cradle homework problem was.
