This year's theme for Earth Science Week is "Exploring Energy." How do hurricanes get their energy? NASA hurricane scientist Dr. Jeff Halverson explains how hurricanes draw energy from the ocean surface. The video also provides an...

This nugget explains about the surface tension and its formation

An introduction to IR spectroscopy.

Yes, I know moles are adorable furry creatures. This is a different kind of mole! A numerical mole. And we need to understand them to be able to make predictions about reactions. Let Professor Dave take you through the finer points.

Learn the basics about strong and weak acids, and how they differ. Strong acids are often used in School Science labs for experimentation but they have important uses in industry and the everyday world. Sulphuric acid for example is...

The video is about osmosis, a type of diffusion in which water molecules move from a dilute solution to a concentrated solution through a partially permeable membrane. The video explains what a partially permeable membrane is and how it...

The video is about the structure of DNA. It explains that DNA is a polymer made up of repeating nucleotide units consisting of a sugar, phosphate, and base. The video also discusses base pairing, in which complementary strands of DNA...

Friendly and fun host, Max Orbit, asks questions about the world and searches for answers. This DVD series is designed to engage students while introducing scientific principles and concepts in a fun and entertaining way. Host, Max...

Restriction Enzyme Set: 1. This clip introduces DNA-snipping restriction enzymes and takes a simplified look at how enzymes function.

Learn the basics about the cracking of hydrocarbons and why it is done.

This video is a lesson on how to represent elements and compounds in terms of the atoms they can take. The video covers the definition of an element, the periodic table, chemical symbols, and formulas. It also explains how compounds are...

Here, we discuss how to draw simple Haloalkanes & Branched Alkanes given their IUPAC names.<br/>

How does your body break down the food you eat to generate the energy you need to get through your day? What form of energy is this, anyway? Let's go over some of the basics of metabolic processes, and introduce ATP, the currency of...

Learn the basics about synthetic polymers when learning about polymers as a part of the organic chemistry topic.

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

Helping children relate to the topics they study is what the Real World Science series of videos does best. Real World Science: Sound helps students learn the principles of sound, the range of human hearing and significant terms, as they...

The video explains the three main states of matter, which are solids, liquids and gases, and their properties. The concept of state symbols is introduced to indicate what state chemicals or particles are in a reaction. The video also...

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

Enzymes are really important proteins, that speed up the rates of reactions such as in photosynthesis, respiration and protein synthesis. The enzymes and substrates are always moving, and occasionally they collide at the right speed and...

Physical Science for Kids is the fun way to learn important facts about physical science and get ready for tests. Take a fascinating journey to the Super Science Station to learn about bioling, melting and heating different substances!

It gives idea about Scientific Notation & rules to solve the numerical based on it.

We all know what it's like to feel hot or cold. But what is hot? What is cold? What does temperature really measure? Don't pretend like you haven't lost sleep over this. Well you don't have to fret any longer, Prof Dave will take you...

It explains the behaviour of real gases and their deviation from ideal gas behaviour(compressibility factor) It derives van der Waal's equation for real gases.

Matter. It is all around us. Everything on Earth is made of matter. Learning about the different properties of matter will allow students to understand how environmental and human factors affect the changing world we live in. By viewing...
