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 discoveries of Isaac Newton. Part of the Science Video Vocab 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 motion. Part of the Science Video Vocab Series.
Through observation and experimentation, students will learn properties of forces, Newton’s Laws of Motion, and how pressure affects the world. Real world examples encourage students to explore their surroundings and to discover the impact forces have on everyday life. Part of the Real World Science series.
The Standard Deviants discuss the three laws of Sir Isaac Newton. This branch of study is also known as Newtonian physics, and it applies to everyday conditions of speed, time, and gravitational pull. Other topics covered include forces in equilibrium, mass as opposed to weight, inertia, static and kinetic friction, and tension. Part of the "Standard Deviants School: Physics" series.
Introduces caveman Zog to Newton's basic laws of motion. By observing objects on earth and in space, Zog learns that nothing can start moving, speed up, slow down, change direction, or stop unless a force is applied to it--even if the force is hard to see, like gravity or friction. He learns that for every force there is an equal and opposite force and that is the principle behind jet propulsion. And he learns that, scientifically, work occurs only when a force moves an object some distance.
Beginning with Alchemy's attempt to find the recipe for gold, scientists have strived to unearth the basic building blocks of our world. These building blocks became smaller and smaller as scientists including Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein studied the world. From elements, to the atom, to subatomic particles, the study of our natural world has led to inventions both deadly and fantastic, including X-Rays, MRIs, calculus, and the atomic bomb.
In the first segment, a shuttle astronaut compares eating, sleeping, bathing, and working and relaxing in space with life on earth. The second segment focuses on Newton's Three Laws of Motion as the astronaut demonstrates them with cans of pudding.
This video discusses the principle of force and the application of Newton's three laws of motion. Through the use of real-world examples, students will witness the effect of friction on force. Other topics covered include inertia, weight, mass, gravity, and the law of universal gravitation.
Provides an overview of how Newton's three laws of motion can be used to explain and predict the motion of everyday objects. The effect of friction, including air resistance, is highlighted, and the concept of inertia is illustrated with classic demonstrations. Features questions for class discussion, as well as the remarkable Rocketman, who provides a dramatic example of the third law in action.
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 Newton's Third Law of Motion. Part of the Science Video Vocab Series.
Actors portray prominent scientists and astronomers as they present the history of astronomy from Plato to Newton in its historical and cultural contexts. The Greeks reasoned that the universe was geocentric--the earth was at its center. Not until Copernicus did the theory of the sun as center take root. Each major astronomer declares his different theory until Newton's answers all questions about gravitational pull between planets.
Galileo, Newton, and Einstein make appearances in this segment. Through lyrics, they explain the contributions they made to astronomy. Part of the "Space School Musical" series.
Smart Puppy and Sir Harold Kroto, a Nobel Prize Chemist, discuss the science behind a buckyball. They use a soccer ball to help demonstrate its structure. Part of the “Smart Puppy! and Friends” series.
The myth of the missing link is persistent and argues that there must be a specimen that partly resembles an ape but also partly resembles a modern human. However, the reality is that there is no missing link in the human lineage because that’s not how evolution works. Part of the "Eons" series.
From cyclists to race cars, the motion of an object is determined by the sum of the forces acting on it. An aeronautics engineer works with Newton's three laws of motion to test the best bicycle posture and helmet in a wind tunnel.
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 dynamics. Part of the Science Video Vocab Series.
Second in the series of three productions designed to let students learn by doing, guiding them through the science and history behind the Wright Brothers' invention of powered flight. This second component contains segments that provide science background (Four Forces of Flight, Newton's Laws, and others) to help students understand aviation concepts. Additional segments show the teacher how to conduct activities (building models or demonstrations) and acquire materials to be used in these activities.
The concept of propulsive thrust to move objects over large distances is ancient. Yet, the technology to move an automobile forward or a rocket into space was invented less than two centuries ago. The invention of the solid fuel propulsion system combined with Newton's Third Law is the simplistic basis for modern rocketry. Students will review the history of propulsion and explore its use as a viable energy source of the future.
