In the dark recesses of a warehouse, a drunken game of cards explodes into a murder. Now the night watchman lays dead. The only witnesses are a housefly or perhaps a cockroach that might be skittering by. That stylized tribute to our seemingly endless appetite for TV programs about forensic science sets the stage for an examination of how, in the real world of police investigations, nature is being enlisted in the war on crime. Sifts through the mayhem, murder, and science that make up the world of forensic investigation with the help of Dr. Jennifer Gardy, of British Columbia's Centre for Disease Control (CDC).

How do spiders make their webs? Turns out it’s in their DNA. Spider expert and American Museum of Natural History curator Cheryl Y. Hayashi discusses her research into spider silk.
Think all squash balls bounce the same? Think again! Two MIT scientists look into what makes things bounce better than others. Ready for some physics? Part of the "Science Out Loud" series.
In this chapter, other scientists from Kazakhstan will challenge the House of Science Scientists. During the challenge, the scientist answer the question does the temperature at which water or other fluids boil change according to the altitude of the geographical place? Part of the House of Science Series.
What happens when the world of art intersects with the world of science? Alberto Rojo, musician and physicist, discusses the role of a researcher in both disciplines. In this episode, he shows parallels between creating music and researching science. He tells us how artists and scientists share similar methods of gathering knowledge and researching ideas.

This episode discusses the scientific method and the importance of using credible sources when conducting research. Other topics covered include control group, constants, independent variable, and dependent variable. Part of "The Amoeba Sisters" series.
Race cars are loud. They don't have mufflers because mufflers will reduce the speed of the car. Spectators need to make sure they have adequate ear protection if they attend a NASCAR race. Part of "The Science of Speed" series.
It takes more than ten thousand pounds of force to get a race car around the turns of the race track. The tires are essential in distributing this force and keeping the car on the track and out of the wall. Part of "The Science of Speed" series.
The engine's job is to convert the energy in fuel to speed. With the application of scientific principles, NASCAR mechanics have discovered ways to quickly and efficiently get the race cars the speed they need to compete. Part of "The Science of Speed" series.
Fire is an ever-present danger in the world of NASCAR. Drivers are protected by fire-resistant Nomex fabric. These firesuits help keep the drivers safe by decreasing the rate of heat transfer. Part of "The Science of Speed" series.
For optimal performance, all the components of a race care must be balanced. Getting the right balance is hard because the weight of the fuel changes and the tires wear during the race. Crew chiefs make sure the cars are ready to race through the application of scientific principles. Part of "The Science of Speed" series.
Grip is the frictional force that holds the tires on the track, and NASCAR mechanics are always looking for ways to increase the grip of tires. The cars have less grip as their speed increases, and mechanics must understand the relationship between speed and grip to ensure the race car is able to perform safely at high rates of speed. Part of "The Science of Speed" series.
Engine power is constrained at superspeedways like Daytona and Talladega, which reduces the speed of the cars. Teams use aerodynamics to gain an advantage due to the constraints. They adjust the cars to minimize drag, and driver's use the technique of drafting. Part of "The Science of Speed" series.
NASCAR corners are divided into three parts because the car's grip changes in different parts of a turn. The center of gravity in the car challenges crew chiefs to minimize weight shift around a turn. Equipment like the seven-post rig helps, but the ultimate test is on the track. Part of "The Science of Speed" series.
Increasing the time of a collision from a tenth of a second to two tenths of a second can make a huge difference in the number of "G's" a driver experiences. The car, the track, the seat belts, and seat construction spread out the force of impact and save lives. Part of "The Science of Speed" series.
Superhero Bruce Rain must stop a tornado, a blizzard, and a hurricane. As he races to stop the storms, Dr. Mother Nature explains the relationship between wind and severe weather. Part of "The Science of Climate" series.
When the thermohaline circulation system stops flowing, Dr. Mother Nature calls in superhero Bruce Rain to help. As he works to solve the problem, he and Dr. Mother Nature explain the importance of oceans in regulating the Earth's temperature. Part of "The Science of Climate" series.
