What Are Houses Made From?

What Are Houses Made From?

Miniclips

Houses are made from certain materials - steel, glass, aluminium, wood, clay and concrete. In this video we explore the properties of these commonly used housing materials and how those properties have influenced their use.
What Is Hydroelectricity?

What Is Hydroelectricity?

Miniclips: Sources of Energy

What is 'hydroelectricity'? This video explores what it is, how it is sourced, and why it is always important to stay safe around power lines.
Doctors and Science

Doctors and Science

Miniclips

Science helps people in many occupations, such as nurses, doctors, dentists, mechanics, gardeners, clothing designers, builders and engineers. In this video we answer some questions about how doctors use science in their occupation.
How Do Wind Turbines Work?

How Do Wind Turbines Work?

Our Changing Climate

Every 24 hours, wind generates enough kinetic energy to produce roughly 35 times more electricity than humanity uses each day. And unlike coal or oil, this resource is totally renewed each day. So how can we harness this incredible amount of...Show More
What Happens If You Cut Down All of a City’s Trees?

What Happens If You Cut Down All of a City’s Trees?

Earth School

By 2050, it’s estimated that over 65% of the world will be living in cities. We may think of nature as being unconnected to our urban spaces, but trees have always been an essential part of successful cities. Humanity has been uncovering these...Show More
The Medical Test Paradox: Can Redesigning Bayes' Rule Help?

The Medical Test Paradox: Can Redesigning Bayes' Rule Help?

This video uses the medical test paradox to discuss likelihood ratios, which are also sometimes known as Bayes factors.
Bayes' Theorem

Bayes' Theorem

Perhaps the most important formula in probability.
Destructive Distillation of Coal

Destructive Distillation of Coal

Coal and Petroleum

This video explains how gas is formed during the destructive distillation of coal.
Sound Machines: Basic

Sound Machines: Basic

Experimentary

How does a musical instrument make a sound, and how does that become notes and music? The best way to find out is to make some instruments and test them out. There are simple science versions of woodwind, percussion, and strings (even a sort of...Show More
Sound Machines: Intermediate

Sound Machines: Intermediate

Experimentary

Parachutes

Parachutes

Experimentary

Drag can be a real drag, except when you have a parachute, then it is a lifesaver. The experiment explores the action of gravity and how wind resistance (or drag) also plays a big part in how something falls. Parachutes are made, dropped, and...Show More
Transpiration

Transpiration

Experimentary

How do plants seemingly defy gravity when they take a drink? Water soaks in their roots and heads up the plant. But then what? In this experiment, students will see how water travels up a plant and measure its progress. They can also investigate...Show More
The Life Cycle of a T-shirt

The Life Cycle of a T-shirt

Earth School

Consider the classic white t-shirt. Annually, we sell and buy 2 billion t-shirts globally, making it one of the most common garments in the world. But how and where is the average t-shirt made, and what’s its environmental impact? Angel Chang...Show More
Light Fantastic

Light Fantastic

Experimentary

A light beam can do some very interesting things when it hits something. There is reflection, absorption and refraction, not to mention scattering, polarisation and diffraction. Students will be introduced to these concepts and conduct...Show More
Build a Bridge

Build a Bridge

Experimentary

From the humble log across a stream to the 'Giant Coat-hanger' over Sydney harbour, bridges and the science that helps them stay up is fascinating. Students will be given an introduction to bridge architecture and the forces at work within a...Show More
Balancing Act

Balancing Act

Experimentary

Do ballet dancers get dizzy? How does our 'sense' of balance work? It turns out there are quite a few things that feed into what we call balance. In the experiment, students will have the chance to test each other and see just how much balance...Show More
What’s the Weather?

What’s the Weather?

Experimentary

The weather is pretty important to life on earth (and not just because we don’t want to get wet, or sunburnt). Students will predict and then measure the weather across selected days, learn how scientists predict the weather, and find out how...Show More
Seed, Sprout, Plant

Seed, Sprout, Plant

Experimentary

The fact that a tiny seed can grow into a full-size plant with just a little help is quite amazing. So let's see it in action, and find out what are some of the things that affect a seed's germination and growth. An experiment that will take a...Show More
Rockets

Rockets

Experimentary

3, 2, 1 - we have lift-off! It is often said that something is not rocket science, well, this is. During the experiment, students will make and test small rockets powered by a simple chemical reaction. They will measure the maximum lift-off...Show More
Solid + Liquid = Gas

Solid + Liquid = Gas

Experimentary

Explore chemical change and the main three phases of matter (solid, liquid, and gas) all in the one bubbling experiment. Students will measure their experiment ingredients (the solid and liquid), then observe what happens as they mix and measure...Show More
Electricity from Plants

Electricity from Plants

Experimentary

Batteries are fairly ubiquitous in our lives, even to the point where some homes are now battery-powered, but how does a battery work, and did you know you can make one? Students will build and test various batteries made from bits of different...Show More
Flying Rings

Flying Rings

Experimentary

How does an aeroplane stay in the sky? This experiment introduces the four forces of aerodynamics (thrust, lift, gravity and drag) and explains how they impact a flying craft. Students then make their own rather peculiar flying creation and test...Show More
Insulation

Insulation

Experimentary

Whether it is trying to keep your water bottle cold all day, or a seal is needing to stay warm in the icy Antarctic waters, both things rely on insulation. Students will experiment with how quickly heat is transferred through different materials...Show More
Mini Catapults

Mini Catapults

Experimentary

A simple machine to demonstrate a simple machine (the lever). The concept of gravity and how it affects the path of objects hurtling through the air is introduced and then students build their own mini-catapult to test it all out. They'll hurl a...Show More
Materials Test Lab

Materials Test Lab

Experimentary

Take a look around you, how many different materials can you see and name? The chances are there is some metal, wood, cloth, plastic, glass, and probably more. Different materials suit different uses because of the different ways they handle...Show More
