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 theory. Part of the Science Video Vocab Series.

The word "theory" is used differently in casual, everyday life than when discussing scientific matters. This episode discusses scientific theory and law. Part of "The Amoeba Sisters" series.
Host Emily Graslie discusses a new scientific theory about mammalian diversification. According to this new theory, placental mammals evolved before a major mass extinction event, which occurred sixty-five million years ago. However, there is no fossil record to prove the new theory, but scientists around the world used genetic material to form their theory. Part of "The Brain Scoop" series.
Is there life on other planets? How can it be found? Presents the scientific theory of life's beginning and evolution on earth before considering life within our solar system and beyond. Discusses possible planet formation from stellar dust and technology's place in locating such planets.
The Big Bang theory is currently the most popular scientific theory for the origin of the universe. It describes how the universe emerged from an enormously dense and hot state about 13.7 billion years ago and how the universe is still expanding from that point. This theory helps scientists explain the formation of all the galaxies, stars, and planets.
There's been a lot of talk and research interest around the possibility of resurrecting certain groups of organisms from extinction. In this episode, host Emily Graslie discusses this possibility with a focus on the woolly mammoth and the mastodon. Part of "The Brain Scoop" series.
Part of the "A 3-D Demonstration" series. Explores basic electricity as it was perceived by Benjamin Franklin and other early theorists as well as the principles of positive and negative charge, conduction and induction, atoms and electrons, and elementary charge. Relates Coulomb's Law in detail, including the torsion balance experiment, that led to a breakthrough in scientific theory related to electricity.
Two teenagers apply the scientific method to solving everyday problems: explaining a burned-out light bulb and exploring the possibility of falling toast landing jelly-side down. Defines terms and offers other examples to demonstrate the scientific method in use.
Explains where and when the scientific method originated and describes each of the five steps that comprise the method. Each step is broken down and explained through a series of scientific experiments.
The process known as the scientific method gives scientists a format for engaging in a step-by-step approach to come up with a reasonable solution to a proposed hypothesis. It is important for students to understand and use the scientific method when solving problems and answering questions. This program identifies the steps of the scientific method and provides real-world examples of the scientific method being used to solve everyday problems. Part of the "Real World Science" series.
Presents general information about the scientific method and identifies its steps. Gives simple examples of how it is used in daily life and restates the steps several times.
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 term scientific law. Part of the Science Video Vocab Series.
Uses practical examples to help students understand and use the components of the scientific method. Concepts and terminology: hypothesis, experiment, measuring, data, analysis, and conclusion.
The 14th-18th centuries are notable periods in history that radically transformed scientific thought. Traditional understandings and worldviews faced major changes as new scientific discoveries challenged long held beliefs in science, philosophy, and society. This was a revolutionary time for scholars, artists, scientists, and philosophers. Part of the “Civilizations and Ideas” series.
Most people think of venom as something to be avoided at all costs since some animals use it to kill other animals or humans. But modern researchers now use scientific methods to study animal toxins, and they have discovered that the thousands of venom types on planet earth may help cure or control many human ailments from chronic pain to life-threatening bleeding to cancer and Parkinson's disease. Dramatizes worldwide case studies of venomous animals, their captures by scientists, and the laboratory processes that could create one man's cure from another creature's poison.
How did 20th-century physics change long-held notions of light's makeup and behavior? This group of 12 concise computer-animated videos illustrates Einstein's monumental contributions to the study of light. Shows how rudimentary ideas of material wave motion yielded to more advanced concepts of electromagnetic waves by detailing Einstein's conclusions about the speed of light and his conception of time, which-given his findings on mass and energy-proceeds according to variable frames of reference. Conveys relativistic thought experiments through helpful animation, which demonstrate simultaneity, time dilation, length contraction, and relativistic mass.
The world’s largest scientific archive of animal signal recordings is housed at the Macaulay Library. The library is partnering with other institutions to curate and digitize an enormous archive of animal audio and video recordings from their vaults. The analogue material in the library’s collection includes recordings of birds, frogs, fish, and insects going back a few decades. Accessible digital audio recordings of these animal signals will make it easier for researchers to investigate a host of scientific questions. Part of the "Science Nation" series.
Students will trace the history of chemistry and study accounts of how chemistry developed from a practical discipline into a science. This episode also presents a current, real-life application of chemistry by illustrating the process of the refining and purifying pure silicon for advanced electronics, such as cell phones and solar cells. Part of the Chemistry: Challenges and Solutions Series.
