PhET is a great resource for interactive science demos/animations. One example I’ve used for physics: create a skateboard ramp and watch as the skateboarder moves according to the conservation of energy. You can download and use the demos offline, but you need to keep your Flash updated, which can sometimes be a hassle.
Science animations is a simple website, but some of its animations show concepts clearly. There is more math used than in PhET, but it should be useful for first-year undergraduates or upper year high school students.
Hyperphysics is a good resource for people learning physics. It assembles most physics topics into a concept cloud, which helps illustrate connected concepts. The aesthetic is very modest. It has mostly text, but also simple diagrams and figures that support each core idea.
Clipgrab has been a reliable and useful tool for downloading YouTube videos for embedding into PowerPoint. There’s lots of tools out there for this, and this free one works well for me.
