All research strategies, practices and methods have their limitations. The most common way of trying to offset these limitations is by using a technique called triangulation. This film uses real life research studies to illustrate the four key types of triangulation: data, researcher, theoretical, and methodological. Triangulation is not only a key part of research methodology, it’s also a transferable skill that can be used in the explanation and evaluation of particular research studies Show Less

The next few decades will be a busy time for space exploration and research and there are still many mysteries of the universe to investigate. This video looks at the future of the universe and human space exploration, looking at the continued and accelerating expansion of the universe, new space technologies and the potential start of a new ‘space race’. Recommended for students interested in technology and the careers that contribute to space exploration. Show Less

Despite the many dangers of space travel, something keeps us going back to the vast and exciting unknown beyond our planet. This video takes viewers through the history of humans in space, covering the 20th century ‘space race’, the dangers and health impacts of space on astronauts and the possibility of establishing colonies on other planets. Recommended for students interested in technology and the careers that contribute to space exploration. Show Less

Space is big and it has taken centuries of work by physicists, engineers, meteorologists and astronauts to allow us to begin to measure the universe properly. This video takes viewers through the history of humans observing distant stars and planets, covering telescopes, the electromagnetic spectrum, the Hubble Telescope and various space probes sent throughout our solar system. Recommended for students interested in technology and the careers that contribute to space exploration. Show Less

Over thousands of years, humans have developed our understanding of the stars and planets through the twin sciences of astronomy and cosmology. This video takes viewers through the history of humans studying the skies, exploring the links between gods and early astronomy, the debate over geocentrism and heliocentrism, and how an understanding of gravity was key to modern astronomy.

Homeostatic imbalances, which occur when feedback loops are broken or altered, can have very serious, or even fatal, consequences. This video covers diabetes, hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, explaining in detail how they result from malfunctions of homeostatic processes and discussing the impact they have on people suffering from these conditions. An informative, curriculum-relevant video for senior secondary Biology students and above. Show Less

Body systems, particularly the nervous and endocrine systems, play an important role in maintaining homeostasis and they are highly developed in mammals. This video investigates the role of body systems in maintaining a steady state, detailing how different systems work together in the homeostatic mechanisms of thermoregulation and osmoregulation. An informative, curriculum-relevant video for senior secondary Biology students and above. Show Less

Homeostasis is required for healthy functioning and is achieved when the conditions within the body are in a steady state. This video looks at homeostasis and dynamic equilibrium in the human body, explaining step-by-step how homeostatic processes ensure that blood glucose and carbon dioxide levels are maintained at normal levels. An informative, curriculum-relevant video for senior secondary Biology students and above. Show Less

Homeostasis maintains internal conditions so that cells can function normally, fundamentally contributing to survival and good health. This video looks at homeostatic processes in single-celled and multicellular organisms, explaining the critical role that homeostasis plays in the functioning of cells, organs and body systems by regulating temperature, nutrients, electrolytes and oxygen. An informative, curriculum-relevant video for senior secondary Biology students and above. Show Less

Homeostatic processes occur in a range of organisms, enabling them to withstand a wide range of changes in the external environment. This video covers the basic facts about homeostasis with a focus on thermoregulation in the human body, explaining key terms such as steady state, negative feedback loop and set point.

With a team including a chef, chemist and dietician, this fun and fascinating 2-part series take a closer look at the foods we all love, with some surprising results. Exploring the latest scientific research behind how they are grown, processed or cooked, the series illustrates that understanding how food works can help us eat healthier (and tastier!). The first episode profiles a variety of one of the world’s most popular fruits, the banana, currently under threat of extinction from a fungal disease. Visiting the scientists cultivating new varieties of disease resistant bananas, it appears that the perfect combination of flavour and texture is within their sights. The traditional craft of fruit preservation is supersized in the production of canned baked beans – and the team uncovers whether or not the process can actually increase the nutritional value of some canned goods. Physics and biology come into play in the science behind cooking the perfect medium-rare steak. A world of cascading chemical reactions is unveiled in a revolutionary new experiment that looks at how to get the flavour and texture of your steak just right. Show Less

Exploring the latest scientific research behind how they are grown, processed or cooked, the series illustrates that understanding how food works can help us eat healthier (and tastier!). In the second episode, cutting edge science helps us to freeze fish so that they taste almost as good as when fresh. To see how far technology has come, a panel of sashimi lovers are subjected to the ultimate taste test: to see if they can taste the difference between fresh and cryogenically frozen kingfish. The scoop on why humans are hard-wired to desire junk food could be answered by the gelato-making process and a simple, mathematical formula. A specific ratio of carbohydrates, fats and salt can deliver the ‘bliss point’, targeting our brains’ reward system, and releasing the endorphins that makes us feel good. In stunning vineyards, sparkling wine is put under the microscope in the hope that every year will deliver a good vintage, and the chemistry of different hot and spicy foods provides some startling insights. Finally, a better understanding of some unusual crops could see them become the supermarket produce of the future. Show Less

A special that explores common dental complaints at a special pop-up clinic – unveiling surprising secrets that could reduce the need to drill and fill. A team of top dental experts look at the emerging links between oral and general health, and reveal how cutting-edge technology is redefining the trip to the dentist (especially important for those who are fearful!).
