Upon viewing the The Changing Phases of Matter video series, students will be able to do the following: Explain that phases of matter, also called states of matter, are the physical forms matter can take. State the four phases of...

For more than a decade--in the most inhospitable place on Earth-- scientists have been building an observatory to search for a ""ghost."" The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a massive telescope embedded in the Antarctic ice near the...

Scientists studying what amounts to a computer-simulated "pulsar in a box" are gaining a more detailed understanding of the complex, high-energy environment around spinning neutron stars, also called pulsars....

Glory is a unique research satellite designed to orbit the Earth and achieve two major goals. Glory's first goal is to collect data on the properties of aerosols and black carbon in the Earth's atmosphere and climate system; its second...

Technically speaking, the snow falling on mountains and other cold regions is just frozen water. It is formed of tiny crystals of frozen water and looks a bit like small pieces of cotton. A snowflake is an ice crystal, or an...

Humans haven't been to Mars yet, and there's a good reason for that - it's really not good for the your body! In this episode, Dom finds himself stranded in space with only 12 minutes of oxygen left to find out why. Accompanied by the...

This video explores the complex workings of Earth's climate and how it is changing due to factors such as greenhouse gases and ocean currents. Using virtual tools and satellite data, scientists are predicting the future evolution of the...

Ocean Acoustics | Ocean Literacy | FuseSchool Sometimes the earth is so noisy... roads, aeroplanes, volcanoes, construction work... but have you ever thought about how noisy it must be underwater for the poor marine life that cannot...

Scientists have long suspected the solar wind of stripping the Martian atmosphere into space, a process that may have turned Mars from a blue world early in its history into the red planet that we see today. In 2014, NASA's...

Listen in as NASA Chief Scientist Jim Green discusses the Mars dust storm with a dust storm expert, Melinda Kahre.

Our Sun holds the solar system together and is responsible for life as we know it. Though it may seem calm and unchanging, the Sun is dynamic. Join NASA solar scientists on a trip around the Sun, our lively and mysterious neighborhood star.

During the tattoo removal process, a laser breaks up the permanent ink particles, allowing the body's immune system to absorb and eliminate the ink. Learn how white blood cells and light work together to break down the materials in a...

In this video, the smallest particle of a chemical element, the atom, is discussed along with its various representations. The video provides information on the structure of atoms and their various components, including the nucleus,...

The video is a lecture on how work can be done on a gas to increase its pressure. The lecturer begins by explaining how the temperature and volume of a gas affects its pressure. The video then goes on to explain how work can be done on a...

Portland cement is a binding material that hardens and is primarily used in construction. It is made from a mixture of raw materials such as limestone, shale, silica, iron, and clay. After processing, the cement is mixed with other...

This program makes the Modern Periodic Table come alive to students. Numerous real-life examples of elements are exemplified in the table. Animations and graphics illustrate concepts not easily achieved through other instructional...

New NASA research confirms that Saturn is losing its rings at a rate which researchers describe as a "worst-case-scenario."

A long time ago in a galaxy half the universe away, a flood of high-energy gamma rays began its journey to Earth. When they arrived in April, NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope caught the outburst, which helped two...

NASA Goddard is preparing to demonstrate for the fist time in space, a 3-wavelength, laser remote sensing instrument. The Cloud-Aerosol Transport System or CATS will measure clouds and aerosols in the Earth's atmosphere. This...

The moment of inertia of a system of particles equation is used to estimate six different moments of inertia of rigid objects with constant density.

In this video, we learn about the life and contributions of Albert Einstein, the famous scientist who revolutionized our understanding of the universe. From his early curiosity about mathematics and electricity to his groundbreaking...

The Chinese Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation is planning to send rain-inducing machines across the Tibetan Plateau to increase rainfall in the region.

In this video, a teacher demonstrates how to test water turbidity using a Trinity sensor. Turbidity is a measure of particles suspended in water, and high levels can be a sign of pollution or algal blooms. Testing turbidity is important...
