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 scientific method is the foundation of work for scientists. Explains the scientific method in detail serving as the basis for your science fair project. The process of creating a science fair project along with helpful hints for success is described. Other terminology includes: hypothesis, experiment, data, conclusion, data table, and graphing.
The scientists explore the absorbency of rice. They will also create a pendulum wave machine and make the perfect paper plane. Part of the House of Science Series.
What are the differences between fish and shellfish? The scientists will explain their differences. The scientists also explore the rate that nails grow. Is it the same for everyone? Part of the House of Science Series.
The immune system defends the body from pathogens that cause disease. Scientists have been able to develop vaccines to prevent the spread of deadly diseases. They continue to research new vaccines and pathways to eradicate potentially harmful viruses. Part of the "Real World Science" series.
Basking sharks are the second largest shark in the ocean, and NOAA scientists are using the latest technologies to study them. The scientists capture and tag the sharks in an effort to study their movements and preferred habitat. Part of "The Science Behind" 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.
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.
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.
Does the wax of a candle melt or burn? In this scientists conduct an experiment to determine what really happens when a candle is lit. They also develop a method to calculate the amount of hair on a head. Part of the House of Science Series.
Scientists try to find out how long it takes worms to become flies. Does the time it takes them to become flies depend on their age or on the kind of worm? The scientists also conduct experiments with balloons and lasers. Part of the House of Science Series.
What does detergent do? The scientists research its qualities with an experiment. In this chapter, they will also conduct experiments in 2D and 3D to determine how vision works with different dimensions. The scientists will also explain the phases of the moon. Part of the House of Science 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.”
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.
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.
Are there living organisms in yogurt? What happens when milk and yogurt are left out of the fridge for a night? The scientists explore this and show how to fix a dented Ping-Pong ball. Part of the House of Science Series.
NASCAR tires are filled with nitrogen to help protect against heat caused by friction. Friction also increases the air pressure in tires, and NASCAR drivers don't want a tire to blowout during a race. The use of nitrogen helps the crew predict how hot the tires will get. Part of "The Science of Speed" series.
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.
What happens to the size and health of ducklings if their mothers have to leave the nests for long periods of time to get food? That’s what Bill Hopkins, a fisheries and wildlife professor, hopes to find out, with support from the National Science Foundation. Hopkins’ research team at Virginia Tech, including wildlife Ph.D. student Sarah DuRant, is studying how environmental factors influence hatchlings, incubation, and overall survival of wild ducks.
