Amusing introduction to hydrogen
An amusing introduction to the properties of hydrogen.  Illustrates that hydrogen is lighter than air, with a balloon. A wild-haired professor discusses the element, that it's part of water, and introduces the notion of deuterium. Finally, the hydogen balloon is exploded with some fire. Part of the Periodic Table of Videos series; periodicvideos.com.
Amusing introduction to helium
This introduction to the element helium covers its main uses and properties such as being used to fill up small helium balloons and huge helium blimps like the Goodyear blimp, that it cannot be synthesized but can be found naturally, that it is inert and not flammable, etc. Combines amusing demonstrations with talking to the camera by a wild-haired chemistry professor. Part of a series called Periodic Table of Videos.
Amusing introduction to beryllium
This introduction to the element beryllium (atomic number 4) covers its main uses and properties. It is very toxic, invisible to x-rays, expensive, and used in some high-tech equipment.  Those working with beryllium are advised not to lick their fingers. Combines amusing demonstrations with talking to the camera by a wild-haired chemistry professor. Part of a series called Author(s):
Earthquake Country, Introduction
There are other segments of this series on WatchKnow. This is the introductory series to 'Earthquake' country which is suitable for middle school and high school students. Through live-action demonstrations and vivid animations, Dr. Pat Abbott explains how earthquakes have shaped the scenery and the character of the greater Los Angeles area. Dr. Abbott shows how faults capable of large earthquakes lie beneath most of the area, posing great risk to the millions of people living in earthquake coun
An Introduction to Natural Gas
Until recently, most natural gas in Canada came from what are referred to as "conventional" sources -- with the gas trapped under relatively high pressure in relatively loose formations which allowed the gas to move freely to the wellhead for production.
In recent years, however, production of natural gas from conventional sources here in Canada has fallen, despite record levels of drilling and completion. With demand for natural gas continuing to grow, additional sources of natura

Introduction to Kinetics
This video offers instruction from Sal Khan on kinetics, activation energy, activated complex, and catalysts. Suitable for high school chemistry students.
Introduction to Work and Energy
Introduction to work and energy. This video, which is suitable for high school students, starts with a black screen because the instructor, in his conversational tone, uses it as a 'chalkboard.' Instructor uses different colors for clarification. Run time 09:18.
Vectors introduction
Find out what vectors are and how to add them graphically.
Introduction to Motion
Introduction to basic physics of motion. Introduces the concept of variable velocity/acceleration. This video, which is suitable for high school students, starts with a black screen because the instructor uses it as a 'chalkboard.'
Introduction to Motion (Part 2)
More on how velocity, distance, acceleration, and time relate to each other. Introduction to basic physics of motion. This video, which is suitable for high school students, starts with a black screen because the instructor uses it as a 'chalkboard.'
Introduction to Motion (Part 3)
Using the basic equations of distance and velocity to solve motion problems, this video, which is suitable for high school students, starts with a black screen because the instructor uses it as a 'chalkboard.
Introduction to Waves
In this video, the instructor offers an introduction to transverse and longitudinal waves. In an easy-to-understand, straightfoward manner the instructor explains while using computer software. Because the instructor writes on a dark screen, the viewer may want to open this video to 'full screen'.
Introduction to the Mechanical Universe
Provocative questions begin the quest of The Mechanical Universe. This introductory preview enters an Aristotelian world in conflict, introduces the revolutionary ideas and heroes from Copernicus through Newton, and, like a space shuttle from past to present, links the physics of the heavens to the physics of the Earth.
Introduction to Magnetism
