One of the best lectures that gives basic science knowledge (actually it is physics) is a semester of lectures given by professor Richard A. Muller. These lectures were for "Physics for Future Presidents", given in Berkeley, University of California in 2006.
When I first saw them (which was many years back, I think before YouTube was popular), I was at awe! Imagine an average kid from India, China or Africa, able to see one of the best lectures delivered in one of the greatest university and by the best of the professor!
I hope all the kids of the world understand that it is a great privilege to listen to such lectures provided by the professor. Thanks Prof. Muller, UC Berkeley for these lectures!
Now my kids are in early teens and I convinced them to see these lectures, they find it enjoyable and keep them fairly interested, though my youngest find it soothing and doze of before the lecture is finished. One of the amusing things happened was Prof. Muller was waving to one of the person who dozed in the class, at the same time my youngest was also dozing off. It was amusing as it appeared that he was waving at my daughter!
