I can't find a good page for this but starting next Monday, June 25, famed MIT physics professor Walter Lewin is giving a series of eight physics lectures, free and open to the public. They are Monday and Friday at 11am on MIT's campus. The topics are:

Gravity, Pendulums and the Conservation of Energy
Trajectories in Moving and Accelerated Reference Frames
The Wonders of Electricity and Magnetism
Super High-Voltage - Why is the Sky Blue, Why are the Clouds White and Why are Sunsets Red?
The Hidden Beauty of Rainbows
Resonance and the Sounds of Music
