Tucked inside the Curiosity rover is a miniature chemistry lab designed to unlock the secrets of Mars. Principal Investigator Paul Mahaffy, Deputy Principal Investigator Pamela Conrad, and MSL Participating Scientist Jennifer...

Learn about Avogadro's number and the ideal gas law.

Out of all the gases in our farts, hydrogen, and methane are the flammable ones. This means they can be set on fire. Even though you produce flammable gases, it isn’t enough to create a flamethrower. Humans can fart anywhere between...

This animation describes what happens when a person cracks their knuckle joints. All of the joints in the body are surrounded by connective tissues, ligaments and synovial fluid. Synovial fluid is a clear, thick liquid that contains...

Hablamos en este vídeo sobre hidrostática, la rama de la física que estudia los fluidos estáticos. En hidrostática el concepto de presión es muy importante, por lo que lo repasamos brevemente antes de pasar a hablar sobre los principios...

The term climate change is used to denote the long-term changes in the weather patterns in a given region. Another term often interchanged with climate change is global warming. Global warming is formally defined as a rise in Earth's...

Who didn’t like playing in ball pits when they were a child? Now let’s imagine a room filled with these balls constantly moving around in different directions this is how molecules in a gas move. In this video, we’re going to discover...

The Pressure-Dependence of Free Energy

The Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) instrument aboard NASA's Aqua satellite has been scanning Earth for 20 years and now has a long enough record to help support climate change research. AIRS data on Earth’s atmosphere are...

This live-action video program is about the word liquid. The program is designed to reinforce and support a student's comprehension and retention of the word liquid through use of video footage, photographs, diagrams and colorful,...

Watch the final part of the 'using moles' videos, to complete your understanding of the chemical calculations topic. Avogadro’s number describes what is known as 1 mole, or 12 g of carbon atoms. This is used in chemical calculations. For...

The video discusses the composition of air, specifically the gases nitrogen, oxygen, argon, and carbon dioxide. The presenter explains how these gases react with certain compounds and how they can be made from other substances. The video...

It describes the role of atmosphere in controlling Earth's temperature variations and explains formation of winds.

The pirates are off to find more treasure! Will they make it across the stormy seas? This lesson will survey the physical properties of metals, non-metals and metalloids. Definitions included: physical property, standard ambient...

It defines adsorption, adsorbate and adsorbent. It distinguishes adsorption and absorption. It explains the mechanism and types of adsorption.

What is the difference between heat, thermal energy and temperature? This program explores the differences between each and explains that temperature indicates how hot or cold a substance is, heat is the transfer of thermal energy from...

Virial Equation of State & The Boyle Temperature

Density Of Different States | Matter | Physics | FuseSchool Why is it easy to lift up a big inflated beach ball but much harder to lift a small heavy pebble? It is largely to do with density, the small pebble is more dense and the Big...

Relating Heat Capacities: Cp and Cv

Hydrogen is a gas at room temperature, and is the first element in the periodic table. It has the chemical symbol H, but is usually found as a diatomic molecule of H2. It reacts with oxygen to form water. Hydrogen is a colourless,...

Through animation and video footage students will learn that there are two basic types of catalysts, heterogeneous and homogeneous. Students will come to understand that catalysts have many practical applications and that scientists use...

The video is a tutorial on how to identify four different gases: hydrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and chlorine. The presenter describes the tests that can be used to identify each gas and the results that one would expect. The video...

It explains the concepts of climate and weather.

This live-action video program is about the word air. The program is designed to reinforce and support a student's comprehension and retention of the word air through use of video footage, photographs, diagrams and colorful, animated...
