There is a fun article in yesterday's New York Times about an MIT
physics professor who does compelling demonstrations of basic physics
principles in his wildly popular classes.  Apparently some of his demos
are available to view on youtube and his videotaped lectures are
available free at the MIT website - it looks from the article like these
could be of interest to science center educators.  I haven't had a
chance to view his stuff yet, but from the article, I'm eager to go look
this weekend.
