LPT: For high scoolers and new STEM undergrads, this series by Caltech is an essential!

I know it's dated. It was an intro to physics telecourse in 1985, but it really is the best in town.
It is not just a history of of science type of series, it actually teaches and engages with the math building a philosophical understanding of the formulas. Watching this series before your college prepares you with the essential understanding of how physics work. You will have to gain this understanding anyway to master these topics, but instead of going through the wear and tear, this series presents that outcome on a plate of gold.
Unfortunately, I have not known about it in my younger years. It would have saved me hours upon hours of connecting the dots trying to establish an intuitive understanding of the formulas and brute theories. If I 've watched it beforehand, It would have improved my GPA a bit indeed.
