You may find these free resources to be useful:

FuseSchool has 52 videos on physics on YouTube. Most last between 3 and 5 minutes. The level is a bit low for this class, but it may be a good place to start. You can see many of them presented topic by topic on my Physical Science resource page.

Classical Physics (physics without quantum mechanics or relativity) with Professor Dave.

Modern Physics (quantum physics to understand the very small and relativity to understand gravity and the very fast). With Professor Dave.

www.freesciencelessons.co.uk/videos has many good videos for chemistry, physics and biology for about grade 10 level (they are designed for British GCSE level).

On YouTube, search for Paul Hewitt videos (high school level, but the videos are old). For example here or here.

Resources by topic

Waves and oscillations

See this chapter on physicsclassroom.com
The 'Wave Motion' video below is designed for younger kids, like all 'FuseSchool' videos, but might be worth a look (4 minutes).

This video is similar to the one above but it does not explain 'Hooke's Law'. Hooke's Law says that the force exerted by a spring is directly proportional to the displacement of the end of the spring away from the equilibrium position. We call the constant of proportionality the spring constant, k, which really just represents the stiffness of the spring. So we get the equation F = -kx where x is the displacement of the end of the spring. There is a negative sign since the force of the spring is always in the opposite direction to the displacement. If the spring is stretched to the right, for example, then it will pull back to the left towards the 'equilibrium position'.

Electricity

Electrostatics

This 10 minute video below is good but you don't need to know about 'charging by contact' or 'charging by induction' for my course:

Here is a chapter on electrostatics at physicsclassroom.com.
Good videos about electric fields here and here.

Current Electricity (electric circuits)

Here is a chapter on electric circuits at physicsclassroom.com.
Here's an excellent 8 minute video about current electricity at just the right level for you. Don't forget that 'potential difference' is another way of saying 'voltage', and that 'voltage' is the energy gained or lost by each coulomb of charge when it moves from one point to another in a circuit. Voltage = Energy / Charge V = E/Q Also, know that current (I as in India) is the charge Q in coulombs passing a point in a circuit each second I = Q/t Combining the two equations we've just seen, we can get an equation for electrical power. We've already learnt that power = energy transformed per second or energy transformed divided by time (remember doing an experiment to find the power of your legs?) Power = Energy / time If we multiply voltage by current: VI = E/Q x Q/t = E/t = P (power) so power = voltage x current P = VI
