As a NASA astrophysicist, Dr. Madhulika Guhathakurta has had the opportunity to work as a scientist, mission designer, instrument builder, director of science programs, and teacher. Occasionally, she performs all of these roles in a single day. Before joining NASA Headquarters in December of 1998, her career focused on understanding the sun. Part of the "Women@NASA" series.

USGS (US Geological Survey) technologist Rick LaHusen describes how the development and deployment of instruments plays a crucial role in mitigating volcanic hazards.
An introduction to sign vocabulary that is specific to science. Many interpreters, teachers, and students are unfamiliar with specialized sign vocabulary because the concepts occur infrequently in daily communication. In this video a Deaf professional signs vocabulary related to his field of expertise. The signs being demonstrated are commonly accepted by the Deaf community, but may not be the only sign for a specific word. Signs often vary across the country, so viewers are encouraged to confirm that signs used in this video are those used in their area/region of the country. Where appropriate, more than one sign or combinations of signs are demonstrated in this video for the same English word.
What can scientists and engineers learn from birds? In this episode, host Emily Graslie discusses how studying birds has helped inform human engineering and design. Part of "The Brain Scoop" series.
After the “Hola” song, Susana shows Señora Alicia her magic wand. They ask students to join them in singing the song “Las Visitas” in different tempos. Señora Alicia reviews the parts of the body while singing “Mi Cuerpo.” She adds to the song by naming some of the instruments learned in previous lessons. Part of the “Art and More” series.
The Jantar Mantar Observatory is a collection of instruments built by Maharaja Jai Singh II in the 18th century. These instruments include a diagram of the universe and can accurately measure time. Part of the "Around the World" series.
Adabot and friends have formed a band, but they are in need of some new instruments. Ladyada comes to the rescue with some electronic kits they transform into instruments. Part of the "Circuit Playground" series.
After the “Hola” song, Señora Alicia and Susana review the colors "green," "yellow," and "blue." While they sing to the tune of “Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes,” students learn the terms for the following body parts: head, arms, legs, and feet. Señora Alicia introduces a new instrument: the triangle. Students also practice a counting activity that reviews numbers "one" through "eleven." Part of the “Art and More” series.
University of Rochester electrical engineer Mark Bocko has combined his passion for music with his passion for engineering, devising a way to digitally compress music files. Bocko’s team of engineers and musicians at Rochester’s Eastman School of Music are also helping uncover some extraordinarily precise details about just how music is made. With support from the National Science Foundation, they have built a computer model of the clarinet, entirely from real world acoustical measurements taken from human musicians. Measuring such things as how hard the musician is blowing into the instrument and the pressure the musician applies to the reed, they have modeled the way music is made.
Music is the art of combining sounds according to an artistic criterion and is a form of human expression. Musicians such as Richard Strauss and Arnold Schoenberg were interested in seeking new quality tone and sounds in the orchestra by adding new, nontraditional instruments. In 1909, Luigi Russolo in his "Futurist Manifesto" spoke about combining sounds from machines and non-traditional musical instruments and combining those sounds with an artistic criterion based on the imagination of the composer. But what role do technological advances play in the creative development and composition of music?
What are the different features of each instrument? While attending a concert by the Youth Orchestra of Bariloche, a team analyzes the different scientific and technological aspects related to sound and music. Part of Invisible Science and Technology Surrounding Series.
Focuses on organic chemistry experiments that demonstrate the preparation and properties of ethanol. Additional experiments review ethyne (acetylene), and naphthalene.
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 scientific discoveries of Isaac Newton. Part of the Science Video Vocab Series.
Hawaii is a state in motion, formed by magma-spewing volcanoes that turn into basalt. The native population of Hawaii considers hot lava an instrument of creation even if it destroys everything in its path. Viewers trace the ever-changing landscape of the Hawaiian Islands due to the active tectonic forces of the region.
Bill Nye takes on Jupiter's deadly radiation. Jupiter produces the radiation equivalent of 100 million X-rays. Nye explains how NASA protects the instruments on the “Juno” spacecraft from this incredibly harsh environment. Part of the “Why With Nye” series.
In this episode, Mo Rocca explores a Medical MacGyver that makes health devices from toys, train spinning, computerized Smart Shopping Carts, and soda bottle lights.
A team of storm chasers crisscrosses Tornado Alley in the Midwest in search of the next mega-storm. They have installed new equipment and instruments to study two particular aspects of tornados: hail and lightning. Segment of vide from Wild Chronicles Series.
What the microscope did to unlock the secrets of biology, the chemiscope is intended to do, to revolutionize chemistry. The ultimate goal is to observe chemistry in the act, to see the making and breaking of bonds in real-space and real-time. Part of the National Science Foundation Series “Science Nation.”
For many years the Hubble Space Telescope has collected breathtaking images of the cosmos with remarkable clarity. Now, ground based telescopes are fighting back. They are combining the precision of several instruments and correcting for atmospheric shimmer. This program presents and explains the designs, uses, and outputs of different types of telescopes.
In this episode, researchers reveal their findings of a cross-discipline analysis of ancient cemeteries. Their research sheds light on aspects of social organization and migration of 6th-century barbarians. Another segment discusses a new sensor based on an ancient African musical instrument that can detect adulterated and counterfeit medications. Part of the "4 Awesome Discoveries You Probably Didn't Hear About This Week" series.
