We don't have to know too much physics to do chemistry, but the electron, the particle that makes all the chemistry happen, is a quantum mechanical particle, so we have to understand it just a little bit. Don't worry, no math, just...

Space is full of radio waves, plasma waves, magnetic waves, gravitational waves, and shock waves, all of which can travel in space without a medium. These waves are recorded by instruments that can sense these waves, and the data is...

NASA's OSIRIS-REx has now been orbiting the asteroid Bennu for a year already, but what has it discovered so far?

The Higgs boson is a wave, ripple or disturbance in an invisible, all-permeating field called the Higgs field. In the year 1964, Peter Higgs, François Englert and four other scientists proposed a rather unique idea to explain why certain...

It explains transverse and longitudinal waves, talks about crest and trough and compression and rarefaction and explains that sound waves are longitudinal waves.

How to find the center of mass of an irregularly shaped, flat object.

Who didn’t like playing in ball pits when they were a child? Now let’s imagine a room filled with these balls constantly moving around in different directions this is how molecules in a gas move. In this video, we’re going to discover...

This video is a lecture about seismic waves, specifically those produced by earthquakes. The video covers the basics of earthquakes, including where they originate and the different layers of the Earth. It also discusses the two main...

The video discusses the historical development of the model of the atom, from the ancient Greek philosopher Democritus' idea of tiny, indivisible particles to modern-day understanding of electrons, protons, and neutrons. It explains the...

Everything we see and touch is made up of millions of tiny particles. This program is full of colorful examples showing the ways that matter is composed of particles. Vivid animations illustrate how matter consists of different types of...

Waves transfer energy from one place to another. You should already know how to describe them in terms of frequency, wavelength and amplitude In this video we’re going to look at the two ways they can be classified. Waves are produced as...

A secondary physics teacher uses role play to liven-up her KS4 lesson on radiation and smoke alarms, by dressing up as a radiation officer, in this engaging pedagogy video. She starts by asking her Year 10 pupils to consider how a smoke...

Researchers have taken inspiration from a sea creature to create a new kind of water treatment.

Learn about the different types of radiation in this physics video from the virtual school. Alpha particles, beta particles and gamma rays... what are they and how do they differ?



Introducing 'Alpha Man', 'Beta Boy' and 'The...

Isotopes | Matter | Physics | FuseSchool The periodic table divides the world into just over one hundred ​elements​, sorted by their chemical properties. But did you know that each kind of ​atom is made up of a different combination of...

The basic nuts and bolts of how things work is explained simply by exploring the natural world and human made inventions that we come in contact with. Cement is a common construction material. How is this hard, durable substance made?...

The video discusses the relationship between the pressure and volume of a gas at constant temperature. The video also introduces the equation PV = constant, which relates pressure and volume for a fixed mass of gas held at constant...

This video is a lecture presentation that explains the concept of gas pressure. The presentation then explores how temperature and volume affect gas pressure. The presentation concludes by discussing the balance of forces and pressure...

What are aerosols and will they warm or cool the planet?

The Sun, Water Cycle, & Climate shows us how the sun produces heat to drive the water cycle. It's made clear that the water cycle continues in the absence of sunlight or heat. We learn how the two components of climate- temperature and...

This video provides an overview of the Oort Cloud, a theoretical region located beyond our solar system and the Kuiper Belt. The video discusses the origins of the Oort Cloud, its spherical shape, and the potential disruption of its icy...

Researchers aboard the Swedish Icebreaker Oden, as part of the Northwest Passage Project, have found microplastics polluting ice from the Arctic Ocean.

To operate and function efficiently, machines of all shapes and sizes need a source of energy. A series of innovations is helping to make energy conversion within fuel cells as efficient as possible.
