Cornwall, once thriving from its significant mining industry, now has only remnants like the Geevor Tin Mine preserved. The mine, which closed in 1991, stands as the largest preserved mining complex in the country, housing an Industrial...

See inside this rental apartment with French doors, a large kitchen, and tons of natural light from 12 total windows.

Step into the Bronze Age, a time when people began making tools and weapons out of bronze instead of stone. In this episode, we’ll explore how this new metal changed farming, building, and daily life. We’ll visit early cities, learn...

This video explores the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls and the mysterious Copper Scroll, shedding light on their historical significance and the treasures they may hold. It delves into the origins of Christianity and Judaism through...

CORNISH TIN MINE KING EDWARD MINE IN CAMBORNE, IN CENTRAL CORNWALL, IS TYPICAL OF MANY OF THE MINE SITES. IT HAS SURVIVED ALMOST INTACT AND IS NOW THE OLDEST COMPLETE MINE IN CORNWALL. CORNWALL WAS THE GLOBAL HEART OF THE MINING...

What is it in our blood that makes it red, and why are other animals different? Biology - Human Body - Learning Points. Haemoglobin is the most efficient oxygen carrier and provides the red pigment in blood. Not all animals have red...

What exactly are alloys? What is it about their properties that make them so useful for a huge variety of purposes, from construction to jewellery? Chemistry - Periodic Table - Learning Points. Alloys are metals mixed with other...

Exploring the science behind fireworks, discover how different elements are used to produce different colours of fireworks. Chemistry - Atoms And Bonding - Learning Points. In the mid-19th century the inventor if the Bunsen burner,...

Transition metals are the largest group in the periodic table. Find out what similarities they share, and how we make use of these metals. Chemistry - Periodic Table - Learning Points. Transition metals are found as a block in the middle...

We create a simple electromagnet by coiling wire around a nail and passing current through it. The magnetic field around the electromagnet creates similar patterns in iron fillings to a permanent magnet. Physics - Electricity And...

We use a metal box holding rods of different materials to test their ability to conduct heat. The box is filled with boiling water and a paperclip is attached to the end of each rod using petroleum jelly. As the heat moves through the...

We use lemons and strips of zinc and copper to make a battery. First, strips of copper and zinc are added to one lemon and they are connected across a voltmeter. This is repeated, this time with more lemons and metal plates, until a...

We extract copper metal from copper chloride solution using electrolysis. The electric current causes copper to form at one electrode and chlorine gas to form at the other. The presence of chlorine is tested using blue litmus paper....

We use a Bunsen burner to burn different chemical salts to see how the flame colour changes. This shows that sodium burns with a yellow flame, lithium burns with a red flame, barium burns with a yellow-green flame and copper burns with a...

We separate the ions in copper dichromate gel using electrolysis. We see the positive blue copper ions move to the negative electrode and the negative yellow chromate ions move to the positive electrode. Chemistry - Reactions - Learning...

We demonstrate a displacement reaction using silver nitrate and copper. A tree-shaped piece of copper is submerged in silver nitrate solution. The silver ions displace the copper and the tree slowly becomes coated with silver metal. At...
