  • YouTube videos that open automatically inside the “book”
  • PhET simulations, or other HTML5 simulations

A good video.  Cats on a slippery floor demonstrating inertia.  Direct link:  https://youtu.be/Ev-DcW7q4Pc  If you are reading this book online it will open automatically below this sentence.   Remember you have to be careful wit the copyright of YouTube content, but that is true no matter what you are doing at the College.   This video is from the original artist.   I normally use government videos from NASA, etc, that are copyright free.
