This video explores the daily condition of the Earth's atmosphere. The factors that influence the atmosphere and cause weather are discussed. Special emphasis is given to the global processes that generate weather patterns. Other...

A little girl and her grandfather spend a summer afternoon sitting by a pond. The conversation changes from how warm the summer day is to how the pond gets cold and freezes in the winter. The grandfather helps the girl understand how the...

The video is a lecture presentation about alcohols as fuels. The presenter explains how different alcohols react with oxygen in the air to produce carbon dioxide and water, and that these reactions are exothermic. The presenter then...

Everyday we experience weather. This interesting series of programs helps students understand the factors that contribute to weather formation. Real-life examples enable students to appreciate the different aspects of weather....

This video is a lecture presentation on the thermal properties of water. The presenter discusses the specific heat capacity of water and how to calculate it using an equation. A student then demonstrates an experiment to determine the...

Using significant figures is as easy as watching Netflix! This lesson will bring back the basics: counting and rounding significant figures. To finish, we’ll explore how significant figures are related to accuracy and how to approach...

Thermocouples, learn how thermocouples work in this video. We'll cover types of thermocouples, applications of thermocouples, the physics behind thermocouples as well as experiments to show how it works.

Brr, it's so cold today! Could it get any colder? Is there a coldest possible temperature? Yes, there is! That seems strange, but now we know that temperature is just a measure of kinetic energy, so zero kinetic energy must mean zero...

We just learned two separation techniques, so let's learn one more! Distillation separates compounds by virtue of their differing boiling points. If two liquids are miscible, we can't perform extraction, but if they have very different...

This guide demonstrates the easy process of making whole milk ricotta cheese at home, requiring just milk, citric acid (or lemon juice/vinegar), and salt. The emphasis is on gentle heating and careful handling to ensure the curds form...

Discover the properties and uses of mercury, as well as its historical significance, toxic nature, and various applications in thermometers, dental amalgams, batteries, and more. This video also emphasizes the shift towards safer...

This is a lecture presentation about an experiment to compare the effectiveness of different materials as thermal insulators. The presenter introduces the concept of thermal insulation and explains how the experiment is set up. They show...

It describes time measuring instruments in ancient and modern period. It also explains how to measure temperature in a laboratory and clinic.

A curious pre-school child asks questions to a big kid about how weather works. Every answer is enlightening yet leads to another question. The little child learns that wind is air that moves, that may be gentle or strong and even...

The video explains the concept and application of distillation, a technique used to separate mixtures by physical means based on the components' physical properties such as solubility and boiling points. The video explains the process of...

Using significant figures is as easy as watching Netflix! This lesson will bring back the basics: counting and rounding significant figures. To finish, we’ll explore how significant figures are related to accuracy and how to approach...

This video is a physics tutorial on how to determine the specific heat capacity of a substance, using the example of aluminum. The narrator explains the concept of specific heat capacity and the equation used to calculate it. The...

Live-action weather footage helps students learn how they can observe the weather. Concepts and terminology: temperature, air pressure, weather systems, precipitation, and wind.

The video is a lecture presentation on the specific heat capacity experiments. The presenter explains what specific heat capacity is and the equation used to calculate the required thermal energy. The presenter also discusses the...

Are you eager to understand how everyday items work, or interested in making useful objects and instruments yourself? Have you ever imagined you could build your own thermometer? In this activity, you will make a liquid thermometer to...

In this video, we learn about the history and functionality of thermometers. From Galileo Galilei's Thermoscope to today's alcohol or mercury-filled thermometers, we explore how temperature is measured using the movement of a colored...

Looking at distillation as a separation technique.

In this video, we explore the concept of heat energy and its role in warming up our hands when we rub them together. The video also highlights examples of phase changes, such as ice melting into liquid water and further heating...

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...
