Using a balanced chemical equation to calculate amounts of reactants and products is called stoichiometry. It is a super technical-sounding word that simply means using ratios from the balanced equation. Topics covered in this program include the metric system, balancing equations, molar conversions, mass percent, empirical formulas, and limiting reactants. Part of the "Chemistry" series.

The Magic School Bus is an award winning animated children’s television series based on the book series of the same title by Joanna Cole and Bruce Degen. It is notable for its use of celebrity talent and being both highly entertaining and educational. The class learns how things fly from inside Tim's model airplane. The class discovers how airplane wings and moving air affect lift and flight.
What is a thundersnow storm? Most snow storms form when warm air moves into an area in the winter and rising warm air condenses to form snow. If the warm air rises very quickly, the condensing moisture collides with existing particles in the cloud causing electrically charged areas. When a cloud has charged areas, lightning can result. The accompanying sound is why scientists call these thundersnow storms.
The Standard Deviants discuss the three laws of Sir Isaac Newton. This branch of study is also known as Newtonian physics, and it applies to everyday conditions of speed, time, and gravitational pull. Other topics covered include forces in equilibrium, mass as opposed to weight, inertia, static and kinetic friction, and tension. Part of the "Standard Deviants School: Physics" series.
Visualize the gravitational force that two mass spheres exert on each other. Move spheres in meters, change mass in kilograms, and observe changes to the gravitational forces that m1 and m2 exert on each other.

Aeronautics is the science of flight as well as the theory and practice of aircraft navigation. Any machine that flies through the air falls into the field of aeronautics. This includes helicopters, airplanes, as well as space vehicles such as the SpaceX Dragon and the retired NASA space shuttles. Aerodynamics is a branch of physical science which deals with the motion of air and the way that it interacts with objects in motion.
Moko is an explorer. As he travels the world continent by continent, he makes many friends and discovers many natural phenomena which sometimes delight him, and other times scare him. Each animated episode recounts an adventure and takes an "original story" approach to explaining these natural phenomena. In this episode, Moko thinks that somewhere lies a creature that blows so hard that it makes the boughs of trees quiver and creates the desert dunes. He believes that the clouds flee before the wind comes because they are afraid of the creature. He decides to go look for it. Tired after walking beneath the hot sun, a fresh, light breeze makes his rest more pleasant. However, the creature is actually the Harmattan blowing over West Africa.
Longitudinal waves carry energy through air, water, and solids. They compress and expand the medium in the same direction as the energy is transferred.
Lutetium is a chemical element with the symbol Lu and atomic number 71. It is a silvery white metal, which resists corrosion in dry air, but not in moist air.

Live-action weather footage helps students learn how they can observe the weather. Concepts and terminology discussed include: temperature, air pressure, weather systems, precipitation, and wind.
Kate McMurtry is the branch chief of operations engineering at NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center. Selected as chief in 2014, McMurtry is responsible for planning, directing, and coordinating the technical and administrative functions for the branch. Prior to her current position, McMurtry acted as the branch chief and deputy branch chief for two years. McMurtry started her career in 2004 as a U.S. Air Force officer working in developmental engineering at Edwards Air Force Base, California, for the Airborne Laser Program. Part of the "Women@NASA" series.
Olli has a sore throat caused by pollution, and meets a crazy alley cat with vertigo who cannot stop coughing. Suzie explains how redesigning the town could help clean the air. Part of "My Little Planet" series.
Hurricanes are one of the most powerful and destructive forces on Earth. How do they form? The formation of a hurricane is complicated, but basically, it depends on 3 factors: warm water, moist air, and converging winds. Part of the "Danger Zone" series.
Cars use airbags. Packages use airbags. Why shouldn't eggs use airbags too? Students model NASA's airbag landing system in this activity from "Design Squad Nation." They design and build protective covers made of balloons to protect an egg dropped from a height of three feet. Their systems model the airbag landing systems used by three NASA Mars missions. The students use the engineering design process, apply a variety of science concepts, and learn about NASA's exploration of the solar system. Part of the "Design Squad Nation" series.
Part of the "Chemistry in Action" series. Numerous real-life examples of elements are exemplified in the table. Animations and graphics illustrate concepts not easily achieved through other instructional strategies. Specific patterns in the periodic table are highlighted. Introduces the following terminology: atomic structure, atomic number, atomic mass, periods, and families.
The decade that kicked off the 20th Century was responsible for two inventions that helped define the next 100 years. The airplane and the radio set the planet on a course to becoming truly a global village. Featured inventions include: the radio, the airplane, the disposable razor, the air conditioner, and the vacuum cleaner.
Weather affects everyone's life. This program provides illuminating, live-action examples and explanations of different weather patterns around the world. Students will also learn the layers of the atmosphere and be able to explain the causes and effects of air currents and air pressure. Part of the "Way Cool Science" series.
This program from the acclaimed PBS Nature series, "Forces of the Wild," shows how man risks everything by building on earthquake fault lines, farming the slopes of volcanoes, polluting the air and warming the Earth. Like children playing with matches, we have no idea of the consequences of what we are doing. Narrated by James Earl Jones.
Volcanic ash is geographically the most widespread of all volcanic hazards. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) geologist Larry Mastin describes how volcanic ash can disrupt lives many thousands of miles from an erupting volcano. The development of ash cloud models and ash cloud disruption to air traffic is highlighted.
Explains why the body needs regular supplies of air and how these get to the body. The camera follows the process of breathing through the ultra-thin membrane of the lung into the blood, showing how the varying demand for oxygen is met by the exchange of information between the brain and the chest muscles and how the body rids itself of carbon dioxide.
