Why it was recommended

Everything that oscillates at roughly the same frequency and has some coupling synchronizes.

What it covers

A Harvard lecture demonstration in which five metronomes on a movable board gradually fall into synchronization through coupling. Removing the coupling lets them drift out of. It is for a general viewer who does not plan to take a prerequisite first.
