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.
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.

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.
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.
A good story is not necessarily a true story. In this episode, host Joe Hanson takes a look at a few of the most famous incorrect factoids in science. He also gives some tips on how to not be fooled by scientific urban legends. Part of the "It's Okay to Be Smart" series.
In Colorado, drilling for oil and natural gas using hydraulic fracturing, sometimes referred to as fracking, is big business. But questions about its impact on the air and water are far from settled. With support from the National Science Foundation, University of Colorado environmental engineer Joseph Ryan heads a team gathering data on the pros and cons of oil and natural gas development, including the use of hydraulic fracturing. Part of the National Science Foundation Series “Science Nation.”
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.
In this episode, host Alex Dainis uses articles on chocolate to demonstrate how to approach scientific claims. In this case study, she demonstrates how to interrogate scientific findings and experiments.
Animal trainer Brandon McMillan puts several dogs through rigorous training and obedience exercises. His ultimate goal is to ensure the dogs are ready to join their new families. Brandon also makes sure the families are equipped to handle the task of being a dog owner. Part of the "Lucky Dog" series.
Scientists at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory conduct scientific investigations and engage in the engineering design process as part of their everyday operations. In this segment, they offer an overview of the five steps involved in creating science fair projects. Part of the “How to Do a Science Fair Project” series.
