In this episode, host Alex Dainis takes viewers on a tour of her lab. She points out important equipment and tools and explains their purpose in the conducting scientific experiments.
What is a lab notebook? In this episode, host Alex Dainis explains how she uses lab notebook when conducting research. These notebooks are the primary record of research, and researchers use them to document their hypotheses, experiments, and analysis of experiments.
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.

An early exploration (2015) into how to make a sim accessible has taken place for Capacitor Lab Basics. The sim is keyboard navigable with some auditory descriptions when using 'Forms' mode with a screen reader. We are working on updating the content and the interactions, so that the simulation can be accessed by a screen reader in any mode. This prototype has been tested with NVDA and Firefox.
Visualize the gravitational force that two objects exert on each other. Discover the factors that affect gravitational attraction, and determine how adjusting these factors will change the gravitational force.
This video introduces science lab safety guidelines. Some topics covered include discussions on proper lab attire, importance of proper disposal of materials, and precautions when heating substances. Part of "The Amoeba Sisters" series.
Demonstrates a variety of natural childbirth labor techniques. Covers having labor support from people you trust and creating a comfortable environment for birth. Includes techniques for early labor, active labor/transition, back labor, long labor, and positions for pushing and birth. Concludes with comments by women who have used these techniques. NOTE: Shows actual birth footage.
Science laboratories present a whole range of potential hazards to people's health and well-being, and it is critical that both teachers and students are fully aware of their responsibilities to ensure the learning environment is kept safe at all times. Aims at viewers who are not new to science laboratories. Covers a range of safety areas, including general safety in these laboratories and specific areas of potential risk in chemistry, biology, and physics labs.
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 procedures for conducting experiments in a science lab. These procedures ensure a safe environment for everyone. Part of the Science Video Vocab series.
A great deal of today's modern technology exists due to the extensive use of the abundant chemical element, Silicon. California's Silicon Valley is where we find several of the world's most innovative and successful technology companies that touch all areas of human needs. Two of these companies, SunTech and Complete Genomics, are on the forefront of the innovative use of computing technology. Through their groundbreaking methods and designs they have harnessed the computing power of the Silicon Valley and applied it to creating more efficient and effective solar power generators as well as cost effective and highly accurate human genome mapping techniques.
Gas hydrates are a significant potential energy source occurring in ocean-floor sediments at water depths greater than 500 meters. The USGS (US Geological Survey) operates a gas hydrates laboratory on its Menlo Park campus. USGS geophysicists Laura Stern and Steve Kirby detail how they study and create gas hydrates in their super-cooled lab.
Forensic anthropologists analyze human remains. Their findings aid in the detection of crime by working to assess the age, sex, stature, ancestry and unique features of a skeleton, which may include documenting trauma to the skeleton and its postmortem interval. Please note: Preview of this title is highly encouraged due to the sensitive material that is covered.
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 how to appropriately dress when conducting experiments in a science lab. For example, students should always wear personal protective equipment. This includes aprons, safety glasses, and gloves. Part of the Science Video Vocab series.
Monitoring water quality is vital to make sure dangerous bacteria doesn't creep into drinking water or overcome sewage treatment plants. With support from the National Science Foundation, engineers at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute have developed the Environment Sample Processor (ESP), a "DNA lab in a can." The size of a trash can, it can be placed in the open ocean or at water treatment facilities to identify potentially harmful bacteria, algae, larvae, and other microscopic organisms in the surrounding waters. It can monitor and send results back to the lab in real time to monitor water quality. Now, the engineers are modifying the ESP so it can go mobile, working from an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV).
For interns at the Gulf Specimen Marine Lab, hands-on experience means feeding octopi and shark by hand. They also journey to Apalachee Bay to collect sea critters to be used by teachers and researchers across the country. Their internship duties also include the many tasks they perform at the lab, from sea turtle rescue to leading tours. The experience not only increases their skill set, but also exposes them to new potential career paths. Part of the "EcoAdventures in North Florida" series.
Tests the heat zones of a Bunsen burner and shows some elements' coloration when placed in the flame. Notes that chemistry is everywhere, in both natural and man-made components.
Recyclebank and Revolution Foods are two innovative companies that focus on rewarding people for taking ecological and healthy actions. These two companies are encouraging citizens to be actively engaged with good environmental and nutritional practices. The benefits created by these practices are considered "win-win-win". This means that consumers and government save money, build community, and also earn long-term health benefits.
With help from the National Science Foundation, physicists at MIT have created 35 “Fab Labs.” They can bring relatively sophisticated design and manufacturing capability to people around the world with four simply tools. At last count, they were in use on three different continents, helping to create everything from critical infrastructure to simple art work.
