What is the science behind a teeter-totter or slide? Students learn about simple machines as they explore the playground. Part of the “Everyday Science for Preschoolers” series.
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 simple machine. Part of the Science Video Vocab Series.
Everyday people do work, and most of the time they use tools to help them. First, students gain an understanding of work. Next they explore the relationship between work and energy. Common examples of tools used to make work easier are highlighted. Concepts and terminology discussed include: work, energy, machine, simple machine, wedge, wheel and axle, and lever.
Live-action footage conveys basic features of the major invertebrate groups. Special attention is paid to the body structure and physical features of simple animals. Other terminology includes backbone, sponge, sea anemone, radial symmetry, planaria, earthworm, bilateral symmetry, exoskeleton, segmented body, and jointed appendages.
Students explore the characteristics of nonvascular land plants as well as some of the simpler vascular plants. An in-depth look at mosses, hornworts, and liverworts serves as the topic of study for the beginning of the program. The characteristics of more advanced vascular plants are then explored such as whisk ferns, horsetails, and ferns. Concepts and terminology include: Bryophyta, Hepaticophyta, Anthocerophyta, rhizoids, gametophyte, sporophyte, Lycophyta, Pterophyta, spores, and sori.
Bill Nye demonstrates simple experiments that can be done at home. These show scientific ideas about air pressure, weighing gas, bending light, static electricity, and others. Emphasizes that a good experiment is repeatable.
The technology that keeps huge cargo ships afloat is amazingly simple. A student in Naval Construction and Engineering at MIT explains just how simple it really is. Part of the "Science Out Loud" series.
Part of the "Active Physical Science" series. Provides an overview of the basic concepts of physical and chemical science. Contains the following sections: (1) "Air Quality," which contains "Test of Two Gasses Using a Glowing Splint," "Combustion in a Car Engine," "Convection," and "Inversion"; (2) "Energy," which contains, "Student Rube Goldberg Machines" and "What Affects a Cart's Kinetic Energy?"; and "How Do Machines Help Build Big Things?"
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.
Build sandwiches, then investigate molecules to explore reactants products and leftovers. Note this sim does not yet have a Keyboard Shortcuts dialog, and simple descriptions are in progress.

Drop balls to begin observations. Note this sim does not yet have a Keyboard Shortcuts dialog, and simple descriptions are in progress.
The concepts of reliability and validity are demonstrated through a simple exercise. Students learn the importance of consistency and interpreting data in a relevant manner when conducting experiments.
It seems like something strange is happening with the laws of physics when falling thousands of feet from the sky. Turns out, everything relies on the simple force of drag. Part of the "Science Out Loud" series.
Features a wide variety of video footage, photographs, diagrams and colorful, animated graphics and labels. Begins with a simple definition, and this helps clarify pronunciation and provides opportunities to transfer words from working to long-term memory. Also concludes with a critical thinking question. For this particular clip, students will focus on living.
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 allotrope. Part of the Science Video Vocab Series.
