In this segment, students learn all about different types of energy found on Earth. Solar energy comes from the sun, and geothermal energy is generated and stored in the earth. Students also discuss these forms of energy and how the energy of the earth transfers heat through the convection process. Part of the "Earth Science" series.

In this episode, host Joe Hanson discusses the science behind hot air balloons. He also explains the ideal gas law. Part of the "It's Okay to Be Smart" series.
Can superhero Bruce Rain help reduce the effects of global warming? First he has to understand the relationship between greenhouse gases and the temperature of the Earth. Dr. Mother Nature also explains how the rising temperature of the Earth impacts various environmental and ecological systems. Part of "The Science of Climate" series.
Bromine is a chemical element with the symbol Br and atomic number 35. It is the third-lightest halogen, and is a fuming red-brown liquid at room temperature that evaporates readily to form a similarly coloured gas.

Dr. Carolyn Brinkworth addresses a famous science fiction scenario in this episode. She discusses the three requirements for planets to form around binary stars. Part of the "Ask an Astronomer" series.
Typically, diesel fuel is made from crude oil, but scientists can make high-grade diesel from coal, natural gas, plants, or even agricultural waste, using a process called Fischer–Tropsch (FT). FT Diesel is the ideal liquid transportation fuel for automobiles, trucks, and jets. It’s much cleaner burning than conventional diesel, and much more energy-efficient than gasoline. But, FT Diesel is expensive to make and generates lots of waste. With support from the National Science Foundation and its Center for Enabling New Technologies through Catalysis (CENTC), chemists around the United States are working together to improve the cost and energy efficiency of alternative fuels. Part of the National Science Foundation Series “Science Nation.”
How can substances, such as water, exist in several dramatically different phases? Easy-to-understand examples illustrate how phase changes occur. Additional concepts and terminology include states of matter, particles, solid, liquid, gas, plasma, melting, freezing, vaporization, boiling, evaporation, condensation, and sublimation.
Bill Nye demonstrates simple experiments that can be done at home. These show scientific ideas about air pressure, weighing gas, bending light, static electricity, and others. Emphasizes that a good experiment is repeatable.
A scientist from NASA explains the basic characteristics of a comet. Students will make their own comet by using a wide range of craft materials. Part of the “DIY Space Classroom Activities” series.
Many of our daily activities generate carbon dioxide and contribute to global warming and climatic changes. While carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are necessary for our survival, some research indicates that an increase in their levels may alter the climate. The increased presence of these gases can magnify the natural greenhouse effect of the atmosphere and damage the environment. However, there are steps individuals can take to decrease the impact of global warming and climate change. Chapter 1 of Air: Climate Change Series.
Has technology made household chores easier to perform? A team of experimenters head into the kitchen to answer the question. They realize the choice of materials and the application of ergonomic principles in the design of appliances has helped increase the efficiency of daily routines. Part of Invisible Science and Technology Surrounding Series.
Students explore the characteristics of fluids. Some topics they study include pressure and its impact on the behavior of fluids, Bernoulli’s and Pascal’s principles, and density and its effect on buoyancy. Additional concepts and terminology discussed include: hydraulic devices, particles, differences in pressure, air pressure, and buoyant force.
Part of a series that features a wide variety of video footage, photographs, diagrams, graphics, and labels. For this particular video, students will focus on the three types of fossil fuels: coal, oil, and natural gas as well as their uses in modern society. Part of the Science Video Vocab series.
Jupiter poses many questions about our solar system. It is a powerful planet of gas whose flowing colors and spots are beautiful, but contain violent storms and jet streams. A mini solar system of over sixty moons rotate around Jupiter--a half billion miles from earth. Could one of these moons contain life under its icy crust?
Part of a series that features a wide variety of video footage, photographs, diagrams and colorful, animated graphics and labels. Begins with a simple definition of the term and concludes with a critical thinking question. For this particular video, students will focus on the different states of matter. Part of the Science Video Vocab Series.
This decade is best remembered for disco and Watergate. But the inventions in the 1970s mark the beginning of the digital age to come. Featured inventions include: cell phones, the bomb disposal robot, Post It Note, hybrid cars, and digital cameras.
Argentinean agriculture has one of the world’s highest productivity rates and is known for its soybean, corn and sunflower crops. However, the industry is also a significant contributor of greenhouse gas emissions. These climatic changes could in turn affect the productivity of the agricultural sector as well as impact economic aspects of the farmers’ lives. Chapter 3 of Air: Climate Change Series.
Does anyone ever think about the four pounds of garbage they produce every day? Get down to the nitty-gritty and discover the delicate ecosystem of a landfill, including the potentially harmful byproduct methane gas. Viewers follow the stinky trail from curb to dump to uncover the fate of trash and the science behind decomposition. Part of the "Break It Down" series.
Bill Nye goes deep inside Jupiter’s mysterious Great Red Spot. First discovered over three centuries ago, this super storm is a gigantic, swirling mass of gas and clouds that is bigger than three Earths combined. NASA’s “Juno” mission hopes to reveal many of the secrets of the Great Red Spot. Part of the “Why With Nye” series.
Wyoming has long been known as an energy exporter, from oil to natural gas to coal. The state is now booming with two other resources: wind energy and qualified technicians trained to build, install, and service the growth in wind turbine technology. With National Science Foundation funding, Laramie County Community College in Wyoming is becoming a national leader in training.
