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 energy created from sound. Part of the Science Video Vocab Series.

Energy comes in many different forms. Real-life examples differentiate between potential and kinetic energy and demonstrate the different forms of energy. This video highlights mechanical, thermal, chemical, electromagnetic, sound, and nuclear energy.
When one hears the roar of traffic, the bark of a dog, or a teacher’s voice, they are experiencing sound. This program uses colorful animations to explore important characteristics of sound, including intensity, loudness, pitch, and frequency. Concepts and terminology illustrated in this video include vibrations, frequency, pitch, amplitude, volume, how sound travels, uses of sound energy, and speed of sound.
Water is used by everyone, and in the process, a lot of it goes to waste. Whether it goes down drains, sewers, or toilets, much of it ends up at a wastewater treatment plant where it undergoes rigorous cleaning before it flows back to the environment. The process takes time, money and a lot of energy. What if that wastewater could be turned into energy? It almost sounds too good to be true, but environmental engineer Bruce Logan is working on ways to make it happen. With support from the National Science Foundation, Logan and his team at Penn State University are taking the idea a step further. They are developing microbial fuel cells to channel the bacteria's hard work into energy.
Energy is all around and in many forms. Real-life examples of energy provide relevance and meaning to students. Special emphasis is paid to heat energy and how it can be measured. Concepts and terminology explored include energy of motion, light, sound, electrical energy, heat, and thermometer.
How does sound behave in different environments? A team answers this question by studying the acoustic energy and sound pressure levels of rock band playing in an indoor stadium. They compare their findings to recital taking place at an outdoor venue.
Students investigate the features of vibrations and waves. Examples of these phenomena help students understand how sounds are formed, how light travels, and how ocean waves move. Students also explore different types of waves such as microwaves, radio waves, and seismic waves. Concepts and terminology include vibration, energy, wave, light, and sound.
A wave carries energy from one point to another through a medium. Types of waves include light, sound, electromagnetic, mechanical, transverse, and longitudinal. Explores a wave's characteristics, such as amplitude, frequency, and wavelength. Also presents the four ways waves interact with mediums. Defines terminology as it is introduced. Quiz after summary.
What is frequency? Why is it so important for radio and sound waves? Adabot gets all the answers from Ladyada and a new friend. Part of the "Circuit Playground" series.
This video describes the five main forms of energy and how to differentiate between them. Students will learn how to calculate potential and kinetic energy. Everyday examples illustrate the impact of energy on daily life. Other topics covered include chemical energy, nuclear energy, electromagnetic energy, heat energy, mechanical energy, and the law of conservation of energy.
Teaches caveman Zog that people use energy in one of two main ways: by moving heat from one place to another (conduction, convection, or radiation) or by transferring energy from one form to another by using an appliance, like a lamp or car. Appliances always waste some energy, and Zog learns why energy efficient appliances are the best choices people have today. As only a caveman can, Zog provides plenty of laughs along the way to finding clever and complete answers to elementary energy questions.
Introduces caveman Zog to energy of movement and stored energy. Working with inclined planes, springs and a bouncing ball, he learns about both kinds of energy and how each kind of energy can be changed into the other. Also, he learns how chemical potential energy is used to create heat, mechanical power, light and electricity.
Through easy-to-understand examples, this video helps students grasp how sounds are formed and how sound travels. Special attention is given to the different characteristics of sounds and how humans sense sounds.
From the noise of an urban landscape to the musical cocoons created by high-tech devices, sound may be humanity's most lively and versatile interface with the world. Takes viewers on a sonic odyssey that assesses the frequently overlooked impact of what humans hear. Takes a CGI tour through the human ear and its vibration-decoding systems, defining the concept of sound. Also demonstrates the importance of sound in human spiritual and religious lives, while musical research at Edinburgh University highlights the link between sound patterns and human movement. Several experts, from physicists to sound engineers to audio artists, contribute to this exploration of humanity's sonic world.
On the windswept tarmac of the former Alameda Naval Air Station, an inventive group of scientists and engineers are test-flying a kite-like tethered wing that may someday help revolutionize clean energy. Students explore the potential of wind energy and new airborne wind turbines designed to harness the stronger and more consistent winds found at higher altitudes.
Students will explore how molecular movement is related to temperature, and how temperature can be measured. Important terminology includes thermometer, thermal energy, kinetic energy, potential energy, energy conversion, molecules, and heat.
Introduces how sound is made; how it travels; the terms "pitch," "volume," and "compression waves"; how ears detect sound; and the way vocal cords work. Views the parts of an ear and how they function to allow us to hear sounds. Uses easily replicated experiments to demonstrate sound's principles.
Explains the science behind the workings of a nuclear power station. The basic version explores what fission is; the role of cooling water in nuclear reactors; the nuclear fuel cycle on mining, milling, enrichment, fabrication, and spent fuel on storage and reprocessing; and other uses of nuclear energy, including "non-power" uses. The advanced version expands on this information with a specific example of a fission reaction; the use of water to vary reactor power; different methods of mining uranium; a detailed discussion of enrichment, including structure and properties of uranium hexafluoride; and two methods of enrichment: centrifuging and gas diffusion.
Access to affordable, sustainable energy supplies is a growing concern around the world. Looks at successful enterprises that are providing some renewable energy solutions. In Scotland, small-scale turbines put wind power within the reach of domestic users. In Sweden, the world's first train to be run solely on biogas has been developed. In Nepal, biogas stoves are improving the quality of life in many ways. And in India, agricultural-plant waste is being turned into solid fuel briquettes for use in industrial stoves and boilers, while a solar-energy company has developed environmentally friendly lighting technology that disadvantaged communities can afford.
