K-12 teachers attend a summer institute in physics education to learn the "guided inquiry" method of teaching physics. They learn inquiry skills by working through problems and experiments, questioning each other's rationales, and modeling the instructors' method of asking questions that "correct reasoning." The institute's purpose is not only to change the way physics is taught, but also to clarify teachers' understanding of basic physics principles.
An introduction to sign vocabulary that is specific to science. Many interpreters, teachers, and students are unfamiliar with specialized sign vocabulary because the concepts occur infrequently in daily communication. In this video a Deaf professional signs vocabulary related to his field of expertise. The signs being demonstrated are commonly accepted by the Deaf community, but may not be the only sign for a specific word. Signs often vary across the country, so viewers are encouraged to confirm that signs used in this video are those used in their area/region of the country. Where appropriate, more than one sign or combinations of signs are demonstrated in this video for the same English word.

The Magic School Bus is an award winning animated children’s television series based on the book series of the same title by Joanna Cole and Bruce Degen. It is notable for its use of celebrity talent and being both highly entertaining and educational. At this year's Teacherathalon, Ms. Frizzle squares off with Mr. Sinew, a muscle-bound gym teacher. Sinew easily wins the first of the three events. Thinking there's a problem, the kids go inside Ms. Frizzle to check her out. The bus takes them through her lungs to the bloodstream, where they get pumped through her heart to her calf muscle. But when Frizzle's leg muscle collapses from the strain of winning the second event, the kids discover that her red blood cells can't get oxygen to her muscles fast enough. Can the kids help Frizzle recover in time to win the final race?
Innovative projects, software and hardware innovation, interaction between experts and amateurs, small social universe around technology where what appears distant is only a step away and where you learn something new every day; that's Campus Party. Nerdo Cavernas reveals all aspects of the fifth season of this international event held in Bogotá, Colombia.
In the previous episode, Nerdo Cavernas revealed Campus Party Colombia 2012. This time Science and Technology will give viewers a little more of the "campuseros", those youngsters who showed their imagination, wit, and knowledge. It is an episode on automation projects, robotics, equipment performance devices, modding, and other areas where 5,000 "campuseros" who attended Campus Party Colombia 2012 stood out.
A main goal of the 2013 Colombian Engineering Meeting was to gather teachers, students, researchers, professional associations, and the private sector to discuss issues related to engineering. This important event showed technological and theoretical advances of the wide world of engineering.
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.
