This collection of 34 visually stunning video clips explores the environment and facets of physics. Properties of rain, ice, snow, oil, trees, volcanoes, and salt are examined, as are aspects of quantum physics, light phenomena, hydrodynamics, therm...
Exploring the cosmos
This program features Freeman Dyson, an elder statesman of the scientific community whose ideas are so original in scope that his colleagues coined the term "Dysonian" to describe any highly imaginative idea. Joining him are astrophysicist Sara Seag...
Inside the Light: The Mystery of Light in Quantum Physics
This program focuses on the spectacular achievements in quantum physics of 2012 Nobel laureate Serge Haroche as well as the University of Sussex’s Wolfgang Lange and others as it introduces viewers to the interaction of light and matter at the sma...
The Hidden Order: Chemistry and the Elements, from John Dalton to Henry Moseley
At the beginning of the 19th century, 55 elements had been discovered, and although scientists had no idea how many more they might yet find, they already had a suspicion that there was some sort of unifying pattern behind them all. This program cha...
108 stitches: the physics in baseball
When you use baseball to demonstrate the principles of physics, your students will see science in a whole new way. Divided into four segments, this program takes a close look at the pitch (how gravity, drag, and the Magnus force are used to manipula...
Unleashing the Power: Creating Chemical Compounds and Splitting Atoms
Once scientists succeeded in identifying and organizing the 92 naturally occurring chemical elements, the challenge then became how to manipulate them into amazing new configurations—and how to tap their essentially limitless energy. A tale of str...
