5.13.3 Circular plate
How do different instruments produce the sounds we classify as music? How do we decide whether something – a piano, a vacuum cleaner – is actually a musical instrument? In this unit we investigate the way vibrations and sound waves are harnessed to create music.

Dr. Alan Kapuler on Understanding Nature and Food Growth
(NOTE: This video may be preceded by a short ad.) Dr. Alan Kapuler is a man who thinks on big time scales, and across wide geographic spheres of reality. A molecular biologist by training, as a young adult, Kapuler experienced an almost spiritual connection from working in the garden. He became a public domain organic plant breeder, and an impassioned advocate for the protection of the natural world. Kapuler believes, the interconnectedness of all living things, biodiversity itself, is the true
10 User research techniques: observing users
Designed products surround us all and range from bus tickets to buildings. This unit focuses firmly on usability and the increasingly important phenomenon of people-centred design. It aims to inform consumers of design (i.e., all of us) about this crucial characteristic of design. The unit is derived from the Open University course T211 on Design and Designing, but as well as stimulating interest in areas of concern for producers of design it might also provide an introduction to engineering, ma
The Harlem Renaissance (2:53)
As African Americans flocked to Northern cities in the 1920s, they created a new social and cultural landscape and this video shows how this helped provide the ingredients that resulted in an abundance of creativity from writers, to artists, to singers. Excellent overview.
AE CS5.5: 3D Focus and Stereoscopic Convergence
An oft-overlooked issue in stereoscopic production is how the point of convergence relates to the viewing plane. Chris Meyer demonstrates adding 3D depth of field blur to the equation to create more realistic, easier-to-view scenes.
Einstein: Einstein's Miracle Year (2:55)
The ambitious Jewish born Albert Einstein challenges centuries of scientific thought with his new controversial idea, the General Theory of Relativity. This video gives insights into how he came upon the idea of such new concepts. A great way to get students to think about observations as part of the scientific method. Also important is the fact that the establishment essentially ignored his ideas.

Is there actually a difference?

Activity 7
The plasma sphere is a region of ionospheric plasma which co-rotates with the Earth, carried by the magnetic field lines. The plasma pause marks the outer boundary of this region. This colder plasma is more easily moved by the electric fields created by strong solar storms. In the Halloween 2003 event, these fields convected some of the cold plasma out to the magnetopause (grey, semi-transparent surface) and reduced the size of the cold plasma region near the Earth. For this visualization, the 3
