  • Person holding a simple model airplane made of thin wood. Caption: So if I only have 5 or 6 grams of thrust here,

    Third in the series of three productions designed to let students learn by doing, guiding them through the science and history behind the Wright Brothers' invention of powered flight. This third component contains the same "how to" segments from the second in the series (13692) and parts of the history and scientific concepts from the first in the series (13691). However, it also provides greater ease and flexibility in locating, reviewing, and pausing in and between segments than the other two productions in the series. Good for sharing with students to aid them as they build and experiment with kites, gliders, and rubber-band-powered planes.

  • A person adds a substance to a bowl of tonic water. Caption: tonic water and corn starch.

    In this episode, host Dianna Cowern races against the clock to complete 20 physics experiments in five minutes. Feel free to try them at home but note that some require adult supervision. Part of the "Physics Girl" series.

  • Metals I

    • Video
    Person pouring clear liquid into 4 beakers. Caption:  Nitric acid is a very strong oxidizing agent.

    Lab experiments show how magnesium, zinc, iron, and copper react with hydrochloric and nitric acids. Also shows the displacement of two metals from salts.

  • Reliability & Validity. Reliability - the consistency of the findings. Validity - measuring what we set out to measure. Caption: what we set out to measure.

    The concepts of reliability and validity are demonstrated through a simple exercise. Students learn the importance of consistency and interpreting data in a relevant manner when conducting experiments.
