Michael Jordan's legendary slam dunk from the free throw line has been calculated at 0.92 seconds of pure hang time. But how many seconds could Jordan have gotten were he doing the same jump on Mars? Or Jupiter? Andy Peterson and Zack...

In the video Paul Andersen explains how Bernoulli's Equation describes the conservation of energy in a fluid. The equation describes the pressure energy, potential energy, and kinetic energy of a fluid at a single point. A sample...

We've all been flying high ever since the development of the jet engine in the mid-1950s. But why were jets were designed to fly at those high altitudes in the first place?

This video is about how causal models (which use causal networks) allow us to infer causation from correlation, proving the common refrain not entirely accurate: statistics CAN be used to prove causality! Including:...

Mount Everest is unquestionably the highest point on earth, but it doesn't always feel that way.

Paul Andersen explains important concepts that can not be explained by simple Mendelian genetics. He begins with a discussion of polygenic inheritance and uses a simulation on height to show how a bell shape curve of phenotypes is...

In this video Paul Andersen explains how the energy in a closed system can be converted from kinetic to potential to kinetic energy. Sample problems and a simulation is contained.

Today we’re going to talk about data relationships and what we can learn from them. We’ll focus on correlation, which is a measure of how two variables move together, and we’ll also introduce some useful statistical terms you’ve probably...

What is the maximum height for a mountain on Earth!? And why?

Worried about turning into your parents? Hank unpacks the connection between personality, genetics, and upbringing. Ultimately, though, you are your own person.

Sometimes trail blazers of science aren't famous like Darwin or Pasteur. Sometimes they're humble Abbots, just growing peas in the back of their Abbey. This is the story of Gregor Mendel and how his work was done, lost, then found again.

Today, we continue our exploration of fluids and fluid dynamics. How do fluids act when they're in motion? How does pressure in different places change water flow? And what is one of the motion annoying things about filming outside on a...

Paul Andersen explains how graphs are used to visually display data that is collected in experimentation. He describes five main types of graphs; line graph, scatter plot, bar graph, histogram and pie chart. He describes the important...

So now that we know what Properties are, how can we use them to figure things out? In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina uses them to solve the mystery of what she tripped over last night. This first series is based on 5th grade...

Mr. Andersen explains the difference between potential and kinetic gravitational energy. He also uses physics to calculate the energy in various objects.

New ReviewThrough common, everyday examples the process of measurement is explored. Tools used to measure matter such as scales, measuring tapes, cups, and rulers are illustrated. The idea of the metric systems is also introduced. The video...

New ReviewLearn how to find the surface area of pyramids step-by-step with Mrs. C! In this lesson, we break down all the important parts of a pyramid—base, lateral faces, slant height—and use clear, color-coded examples to find the total surface...

In this video students will observe and measure an object in motion to show how patterns can be used to predict future motions. As a result of a hands-on experiment they will observe and explain patterns of motion. This program...

In this shorts video we will learn how to find the volume of a cone. We will begin by writing the formula. We will identify the missing variables or dimensions of the cone. Using the provided image we will identify the diameter and...

In this shorts math video we will answer a standardized math test question where we find the volume of a cylinder using diameter. We will review the Volume formula of a cylinder, V=pi times r square times h. We will review the...

In this shorts math video we will answer a standardized math test question where we find the volume of a cone. We are given the measurements of the radius and the height of the cone. We will review the formula for finding the volume of...

In this shorts video we will answer a standardized math test question by finding the volume of a pyramid. We will review the volume formula for a pyramid and learn how to use it. We will understand that B represents the area of the...

In this shorts video we will find the radius of a cylinder using volume. We will answer a standardized math test question where we are given the volume and the height of a cylinder and asked to find the radius. We will review that the...

In this short math video we will find the radius of a cone. We will be given the volume and the height of a cone. We will identify the formula for the volume of a cone. We will rewrite the formula using the giving values for the...
