The video explains how objects can become charged by the transfer of electrons, resulting in static electricity. It also discusses how charged objects exert non-contact forces on each other, with like charges repelling and opposite...

The natural world has many tricks to teach us about efficiency and design. Take the carnivorous pitcher plant: Its super slippery surface acts like a slide for unsuspecting ants that can't stop themselves from sliding right into the...

See how to add text labels to points and lines in ggplot graphs.

Learn the basics about the shapes of simple molecules, when learning about properties of matter. In reality the shapes of simple molecules are 3-D molecules and should be visualised as such. Imagine now the central carbon atom surrounded...

In this video, the teacher explains the behavior of protons and electrons when they come close to each other. They discuss how protons and electrons repel each other when they are of the same charge, but attract each other when they have...

This video explains the concept of charging by friction. The video presents experiments and demonstrations to show how two insulators become charged and how opposite charges attract while like charges repel each other. The video also...

Review of the Electrostatics topics covered in the AP Physics 1 curriculum.

As the weather gets colder and dryer, you are more likely to get shocked when getting out of a car, touching a door knob, or doing laundry. Is there a way to prevent getting shocked on the car door?

In this video we will look at covalent bonds in methane, ammonia, water and hydrogen fluoride. They are small, covalently-bonded molecules. The atoms within them share electrons because they have half full or more than half full valence...

This video explains the fundamental concepts of magnetism, including permanent magnets, magnetic fields, induced magnetism, and the interactions between magnets. It provides a clear understanding of how magnets operate, the difference...

This video is a demonstration and explanation of a Van de Graaff generator, an electronic device that creates static electricity. The video aims to teach viewers about the concept of static electricity and the role of Van de Graaff...

This video explores the force of magnetism and how it affects our everyday lives. The atomic nature of magnetism is illustrated, and then applied in principle to common magnets. The video highlights how magnetic fields are created, and...

Real World Science: Force is one of a series of videos that encourages children to explore the world of science in their immediate surroundings. Through observation and experimentation, students will learn properties of forces, Newton's...

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 magnetic forces.

It explains the properties of magnet and explains the use of magnets as a compass and also a few precautions for handling magnets.

Magnets can be found in many objects that we use everyday. Not only are they located in man-made objects, but magnetic materials can be found in nature as well. In fact, the mineral, magnetite, was found to have magnetic properties long...

If you’ve ever played with magnets, you’ll probably notice that when like poles of the magnets are facing each other (so two Norths or two Souths) the magnets will repel. But, hold two unlike poles together, they will attract. Magic!...

Magnets are unusual and fun tools that serve many useful purposes. This colorful, action-packed program emphasizes the characteristics and behavior of magnets. Special emphasis is also given to electromagnets and the importance of...

This video describes the basic role that atoms play in creating electrical charges, as well as the nature and creation of static electricity. Various methods of charging are discussed, emphasizing the role that insulators and conductors...
