Electricity: A 3-D Animated Demonstration Series (8-part series, 18–34 minutes each) Mastery of electrical concepts and laws is necessary to any understanding of physics and its applications. This powerhouse series—eight engaging programs covering all the essentials of electricity—is hands-on enough for both the electrical shop and the physics lab and theoretical enough for use in the science classroom.
Physics: Forces at Work (13:15) This Science Screen Report explains the forces that come into play when a cyclist puts on the breaks, a pitcher throws a curve, and an airplane takes to the sky. Focusing on such concepts as acceleration, terminal velocity, friction, and balanced and unbalanced forces, the program also delineates Newton’s laws of motion and Bernoulli’s principle of pressurized air and fluid behavior. (13 minutes)
Principles and Laws of Motion (18:18) To study and understand the motion of objects in space, students need to build a foundation of knowledge in a wide variety of physical science phenomena. This program demonstrates typical mechanics situations common to many physics courses, such as circular motion, projectile motion, straight line motion, and inclined plane motion. (18 minutes)
Gravitation (29:16) Although gravity is the weakest of the fundamental forces, it is nevertheless the most universal—and the easiest to demonstrate! This program demystifies the properties and behavior of gravity with the help of real-world illustrations and animated graphics.
(29 minutes)
Physics: The Standard Deviants(r) Core Curriculum Series (10-part series, 17-34 minutes each) This creative ten-part series, adapted from the popular series developed for students to enhance their test-taking skills, is designed to reduce the gravity of physics by combining serious academic content with a humorous presentation style.
The Physics in Baseball (27:07) When you use baseball to demonstrate the principles of physics, your students will see science in a whole new way.
