The Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology website has collected materials on Biomechanics which include exercises/demos and sometimes movie clips. This includes work of Steve Vogel and others:

Here are two labs that we used at UNH that are more or less based on Vogel. The first uses different shapes of pasta and has the students measure modulus of elasticity and breaking strain.
Solids_lab_elastic modulus of pasta
The second is a lab to think about flow and viscosity
FluidFlow_lab_viscosity and flow
