This video demonstrates the effects of Einstein's special relativity on objects that move at high velocities. It shows a 3-dimensional view containing 2 dimensions of space and one dimension of time. This view is used to demonstrate the difference between classical physics and Einstein's relativity. No audio. (02:30)

What can we learn about physics from an amusement park ride? This videosegment, produced for Teachers' Domain, uses roller coaster footage to demonstrate that what really keeps people pinned to their seats as a roller coaster hurtles through a loop isn't just the seat belts, it's centripetal force. To reinforce this important scientific principle,a physics teacher successfully swings a cup of water around his head without spilling a drop. (04:40)

Provocative questions begin the quest of The Mechanical Universe. This introductory preview enters an Aristotelian world in conflict, introduces the revolutionary ideas and heroes from Copernicus through Newton, and, like a space shuttle from past to present, links the physics of the heavens to the physics of the Earth.

A high school physics teacher visits a race track to observe the velocity of a race car. At the track he collects some data (times and distances) in order to calculate the speed of the cars. He demonstrates how to calculate velocity and does some simple conversions from miles per second to miles per hour (07:09).

Galileo Galilei was born on February 15, 1564 in the old Italian town of Piza and his biography is explained in this seven minute video. Uses good quotes and images to help explain his decisions. He is the father of modern physics and, in fact, of all modern natural sciences. His trial is an important part of this video and is a good point of discussion for students when debating religion and science. (07:02)

Eureka! shows viewers how a pulley works to lift a heavy object. If you double the number of ropes supporting the weight, you double the mechanical advantage. Eureka was a series of short cartoons on physics that ran on public television in the 1980's. The video explains the concept in simple and well illustrated way. Good for students of any elementary school level.

This video explains how to calculate the weight of a horse using Archimedes' Principle. Includes a demonstration with digital scales and an overflow apparatus. The forces acting on hot air balloons, cargo and cruise ships is explained by this principle from the ancient Greeks.
Marine architects and engineers use this basic principle to design floating structures - ships, submarines and oil rigs.
Suitable as a learning resource for an introduction to buoyancy and Archimedes in physics and general science.

At TEDxNASA, Dennis Hong introduces seven award-winnning, all-terrain robots -- like the humanoid, soccer-playing DARwIn and the cliff-gripping CLIMBeR -- all built by his team at RoMeLa, Virginia Tech. Watch to the end to hear the five creative secrets to his lab's incredible technical success. Dennis Hong is the founder and director of RoMeLa -- a Virginia Tech robotics lab that has pioneered several breakthroughs in robot design and engineering. Robots are often inspired by nature, incorporating knowledge from biology and physics. (16:15)

Find out why this toy is a "wonderful piece of physics". Fun video for kids to watch, this is one of those birds that perches on the edge of a glass and puts it beak into the water and then goes back up. This action continues without any help from a person. The explanation is interesting. Video is of good quality. (04:45)

In this program, students are given examples of special functions in the form of direct variation and inverse variation, with a discussion of combined variation and the constant of proportionality. These are explored in relation to polynomials and assorted equations, with applications from chemistry, physics, astronomy, and the food industry. (28:47)

This NASA video segment explores how Newton's laws apply to the landing of an airplane. Viewers watch an instructor at NASA's National Test Pilot School explain that each step of an airplane's landing can be described with physics. Viewers also learn that a test pilot's job is to find the optimal methods for landing an aircraft.

Ever wonder why a stone sinks in water? Let's make sense of it with science. If you've ever tossed a stone into a lake, you know what happens next-it sinks. Let's find out why. Key vocabulary words are density, volume, sink, float, natural force, gravity, upward force, and weight. This is a great resource to help build background knowledge for students and would work well in conjunction with a lesson/unit or reading non-fiction texts on properties of waters, oceans, physics, etc. (01:46)

This video explains what Civil Engineers must think before-hand such as potential hazards and budgetary issues. Basic Foundations for Civil Engineering include Environmental Science, Advanced Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. Civil Engineers use CAD (Computer Aided Drafting and Design) and 3-D Modeling soft-wares help them visualize the result. This video is a talking head without showing students what the speaker is referring.

Isaac Newton was born December 25, 1642 in Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire, England, and died March 20, 1727 in London, England. Newton was an English physicist and mathematician, who was also the culminating, figure of the scientific revolution of the 17th century. With discoveries in optics, motion, and mathematics he developed the principles of modern physics. He was the original discoverer of the infinitesimal calculus. Newton's Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica (Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy), 1687, and was one of the most important single works in the history of modern science. In this Biography Channel full length video, learn about the life of English physicist, Sir Isaac Newton. (03:31)
