Basic Math: Lesson 6 - Introduction to Fractions
Building the Great Pyramid - Part 1 of 6
This video is the first part of a reconstructed life story of Nacht, one of workers who was part of building king Kufu's great pyramid. The introduction shows the setting in place and time 2480BC in the Sahara desert. There are recontructed images and explanations of the way in which the pyramids were built.
Introduction to Cellular Respiration
The instructor uses software (and several colors for clarification)Â to offer an introduction to cellular respiration, glycolysis, the Kreb's Cycle, and the electron transport chain.
Piranhas
For centuries the Amazon has been home to the most ferocious fresh-water monsters known to man...piranhas. Now, these deadly creatures are appearing in US lakes and rivers. The MonsterQuest team investigates whether these carnivorous beasts could breed here and devastate our waters. Addresses the harmful introduction of a new species to an ecosystem. Full-length episode from MonsterQuest. Run time (41:00)
Forces that Shape our Earth
Geologists observe that the forces that shape our Earth are very slow, but ever present. The video will fly you over the rugged terrain and deeply carved canyons of the southwest United States as the narrator discusses the forces that are at work. The video is simply an introduction to the lesson and does not explain any of the forces in detail. Run time 03:06.
String Theory
This is a quick two minute introduction to the conflict of theory of relativity and theory of quantum of mechanics. It is high level but shows some excellent graphics! Run time 02:00
Electron Configurations, Part I
This is an introduction to using the periodic table to determine electron configurations. Instructor uses his computer screen and different colors to educate students. Instructor says this video series introduces information covered in a first-year high school course in chemistry.
Brief Overview Energy Sources
This is a brief introduction (01:21) of fossils fuels and their origin. The video includes vintage and current images.
Clean Coal?
This video segment adapted from FRONTLINE: "Heat" examines clean coal technology. It provides statistics for overall annual U.S. consumption as well as average household usage, and then explains the need for developing a cleaner way to convert coal into energy. Visit a Florida energy plant that turns solid coal into a clean-burning fuel gas (syngas), and learn about a new approach to capture and store carbon dioxide gas, a by-product of coal burning. Carbon dioxide is an important greenhouse gas
Introduction to Nanochemistry
Introduction to nanochemistry and why it is important to scientists today. Discusses both the positive and negative impacts of nanotechnology. Good demonstrations. Grades 9-12. 2:59 min.
Capacitance
Introduction to the capacitance of a two-place capacitor. This video, 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 13:34.
Electric Potential Energy
Introduction to electric potential. This video, 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 12:37.
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.
Work and Energy (Part 2)
More on work and introduction to Kinetic and Potential Energies. 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 09:15.
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.'
Newton's First Law of Motion
Introduction to Newton's First Law of Motion. 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.'
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'.
Converting Decimals to Fractions Chant
A teacher starts with a chant to the tune of "We Are the Champions" to show a strategy of converting decimals to fractions. "Say it in decimal, write it it fraction form, and  simplify it." Introduction is about 1 minute long.  Teacher explains strategy at the white board.  (5:28)
