Being Safe When You Cross the Road
A one-minute cartoon that shows students what precautions to use before crossing a street. The stop, look, and listen message are given. A good introduction to this topic.

Re-Wiring the Brain
Neuroscientist Michael Merzenich lectures on the secrets of the brain's ability to actively re-wire itself. He discusses his research into ways to harness the brain's plasticity to enhance our skills and recover lost function. The ability of the brain to grow and change as we develop is a complex process that progresses in a predictable way.

Acids and Bases
Acids are sour. Substances are labeled as either acids or bases. Bases are slippery, and turns lithmus paper blue, acids turn lithmus paper to red. Hydrogen Ions contain one hydrogen ion, andhydroxide form one oxygen atom. The process is called neutralization. This six minute video helps explains this. It is a bit different than other videos so teachers need to preview it as it moves rapidly and may need to be stopped for a more complete classroom explanation. Has a test at the end.
How Does an Electric Motor Work?
An electric motor works through two main elements, with the first
being opposing magnets and the second being a wire coil. Learn about
carbon brushes and commutators and how they help electric motors work with information from a science teacher in this video.
Busy, Busy, Bees! Honey Bees and Drones
We all know of honey bees! These insects are famous for two things:
when they are angry, they sting, and it hurts! And they convert nectar
which they collect from different plants into a sweet, thick, golden
liquid we know as honey!
Bees live in hives composed of hexagonal spaces and their colonies
have clear hierarchies. The most important member of the hive is the
queen bee. The other kinds of bees are female worker bees which nurse
the eggs and
Elemental Methods for Integrated Architectures: Experimentation with Design Processes for Cable Net
Tension active systems are compelling architectural structures having an intimate connection between structural performance and the arrangement of material. The direct flow of structural forces through the material makes these systems attractive and unique from an aesthetic point of view, but they are a challenge to develop from a design and an engineering perspective. Traditional methods for solving such structural systems rely on both analog modeling techniques and the use of highly advanced e

California Gold Rush
The discovery of gold during the 1840s attracts thousands of people attracts hoping to strike it rich in California and resulting in that state being admitted into the union. Mainly talk with little effort to show maps or images.
Three-dimensional Input and Visualization
The aim of this chapter is to investigate techniques by which man-computer interaction could be improved, specifically in the context of architectural applications of CAD. In this application the object being designed is often an assembly of defined components. Even if the building is not actually fabricated from such components, it is usually conceptualized in these terms. In a conventional graphics- based CAD system these components are usually represented by graphical icons which are displaye
Solving Linear Equations: Variables in Numerator and Denominator
The instructor uses an electronic chalkboard to demonstrate how to solve linear equations in one variable. Â Examples include one-step and multi-step with variable in the numerator and denominator. Â This video is appropriate for high school students. Solving linear equations with variable expressions in the denominators of fractions.
Photographs of the College - May 2006
This is a series of photographs taken during the middle of stage one of the rebuilding early in the morning on Wednesday 10th and Thursday 11th May 2006
Photographs of the College - July 2007
A series of photographs taken at the end of stage one of the rebuilding early in the morning of 30th July 2007. Photographs of the Mechanical Engineering, Motor Vehicle and Construction blocks have been taken as a record before their re-development as part of stage two of the rebuilding programme.

By clicking on the Apple menu you can find out information about the processor and memory. If you click on software update you will find if your computer needs any updates. (0:41)
Michael Palin enters China in his attempt to travel around the globe.
This is an animation (07:43)Â to explain the Great Garbage Patch to younger viewers. Hufflebot will do anything to get that Wormulus out of his head, including creating a nation of plastic bags in the middle of the Pacific Ocean...until they get a taste of their own medicine.
