The National Science Foundation (NSF) supports the work of scientists from the Monterey Peninsula to Maine. Along the way, these dedicated individuals take photos, shoot video, create animations, and so on as part of their work. In the multimedia gallery section of the NSF's site, visitors can peruse over 250 images, videos, and audio clips that document everything from black holes to the science of NHL hockey. Visitors can search the multimedia here, or they can just look around at their leisure. First-time visitors should not miss the video on kinematics or the fabulous "Cabinet of Wonders," which houses the collection of Alfred Russel Wallace, the celebrated British naturalist. It's easy to see how these could be great complementary materials in a college classroom for any number of science courses.
