Measuring Your Body with Curious George
The children trace their bodies onto large pieces of paper and then use cubes to count and measure how tall they are. One child uses popsicle sticks because they ran out of cubes. The teacher addresses how they should have all used the same standard in measurement. This video could also be used with older students in science for an example of controls and variables in an experiment.

Triumph of the MOS Transistor
[Recorded July 13, 2010]
The MOS (metal-oxide-semiconductor) transistor, the fundamental building block of digital electronics, is the base technology of late 20th and early 21st century. The story of its development is one of the key chapters in the history of the semiconductor and computing industries. After being the subject of extensive research and vigorous activity among semiconductor pioneers at companies like Fairchild, IBM, RCA, Bell Labs, Texas Instruments and Intel throughout the 1960
The Electronic Coach
[Recorded: circa 1959]
"The Electronic Coach" is a short film made by IBM describing the use of computers in the management of a university basketball team. The film features computer science legend Don Knuth, then a junior at Case Institute of Technology. For all four of his undergraduate years at Case (1956-60), Knuth was manager of the basketball team and sought ways to improve his team's play by analyzing a series of special statistics he captured during games. The scoring method was unusual
Nicolas Poussin announcement
Did you like the Gates of Hell video? This is a short introduction to our new English video about Nicolas Poussin and "The Gathering of Manna". The speaker (shame on him!) speaks French (hopefully!) but there are English subtitles!

Monster sunspot groups appear on the Sun!
Late in 2009 and early 2010, two very large sunspot groups popped up on the Sun. These two animations shows those groups as seen by the SOHO spacecraft. The first is in visible light, and the second in far ultraviolet which shows magnetic activity associated with the sunspots. Watch as the Sun rotates; you get a cool 3D effect.
Note that some data are missing, so the rotation isn't smooth. In the second animation a frame flashes up which says "CCD Bakeout" which is a standard cleaning process f
3.5 Velocity-time and speed-time graphs Just as we may plot the position-time graph or the displacement-time graph of a particular motion, so we may plot a velocity-time graph for that motion. By convention, velocity is plotted on the vertical axis (since velocity is the dependent variable) and time (the independent variable) is plotted on the horizontal axis. In the special case of uniform motion, the velocity-time graph takes a particularly simple form - it is just a horizontal line, i.e. the gradient is zero. Examples are
Learn about Liquid Nitrogen Ice Cream
Nitrogen is normally an odorless, colorless gas that makes up 78% of the atmosphere. Nitrogen is SO COOL - that its boiling point is -320 degrees F. Watch as liquid nitrogen instantly transforms a standard sugar and cream mixture into ice cream -- without any measurable time elapsing in this episode from Food Science. Run time 05:50.
