Out of This World Physics Demos

Don Pettit has been producing regular science education videos while stationed on the International Space Station as part of his Science Off The Sphere series. They are fantastic! I think science lessons would be much more fun if we got to do them all in microgravity.

In the video above, he demonstrates wave oscillations on water droplets using a laptop speaker. More great videos can be found here, including antibubbles and dancing droplets.
