What is the Coriolis effect? How is it produced and how does it affect our weather? Earth Science - Weather - Learning Points. The way wind blows determines thunderstorms to hurricanes. The Coriolis Effect is a deflection of moving mass...

Explore the reasons why objects can keep moving on their own, and why most of them will eventually stop. Physics - Forces - Learning Points. Momentum is how we quantify a moving object. Outside forces affect momentum. Momentum is...

We use a Hero's engine model to show how equal and opposite forces can cause propulsion. Two holes are pierced in a metal bottle and some water is added. This is suspended above a Bunsen burner, and as the water boils and leaves the...

We use a microscope to examine the blood flow in the open circulatory system of asellus aquaticus. We are able to see the haemolymph moving through its limbs in different directions. Biology - Human Body - Learning Points. Large...

We dissect and examine a frog's leg and muscles. The skin is removed and the leg is bent back and forth to see how pairs of antagonistic muscles work. Biology - Human Body - Learning Points. Muscles contract to cause movement. Muscles...

We create an underwater volcano by placing a conical flask of hot coloured water in a tank of cold water. The hot coloured water rises through the cold, demonstrating convection. Physics - Energy And Radioactivity - Learning Points....

Discover how video creates movement from still images, and how 'frame rate' affects what we see. Maths - Number A Twig Math Film. Reinforce and extend the learning required by the curriculum. Twig’s math films show abstract concepts in...

Learn how our planet's landscapes, from mountains to hills, plateaus to plains, have been sculpted over millions of years by powerful geological forces. Earth Science - Geology - Learning Points. The planet's diverse landscape is shaped...

What is wind and what are localised winds? Find out about the global cycles which take winds right across the world. Earth Science - Weather - Learning Points. Wind begins with the difference in air pressure. Air moves from areas of high...

From volcanic eruptions to massive earthquakes to tidal waves, Earth's tectonic plates can be responsible for catastrophic natural disasters. Earth Science - Geology - Learning Points. The rising and falling of intense heat deep inside...

Glaciers are a destructive force, moving slowly across landscapes, reshaping them as they go. Earth Science - Geology - Learning Points. Over three-quarters of Earth's fresh water is locked in frozen reservoirs, known as glaciers....
