How can you tell if a microorganism is helpful or detrimental to an ecosystem? Learners inspect slides or pictures of microorganisms and record their observations to identify those that are beneficial or harmful. They then pretend to...

Gay-Lussac first published the law relating the volume and temperature of gas, but he kindly credited Charles in what is now known as Charles's Law. Part of Socratica's chemistry playlist, the video explains Charles's Law. It also works...

Gallium dissolves aluminum so aggressively that people are not allowed to transport it on airplanes. While some find the facts and properties of the metal useful, many enjoy seeing it act as a beating heart. The science behind this...

Some people have a natural ability to jump, but did you know DNA also naturally jumps? Learn about the fun habit by looking at the research of a pioneering female scientist. Barbara McClintock fought prejudice and surpassed her mentors...

If Earth is modeled by a grapefruit, what planet could be represented by a golf ball? This activity uses everyday and not-so-everyday objects to create a model of the Solar System.

Have you ever tried to pinpoint the exact type of insect captured? Scientists collect insects and pin them for future study to do just that. The video explains how to properly pin an insect to display the unique body parts and features....

Many manufacturing processes require vanadium, though many people have not heard of it. The 23rd video in a series of 118  about chemical elements explores vanadium. It shares multiple samples in different formats including wire, powder,...

Three main factors determine the wave height experienced in the ocean. Scholars use a virtual simulator to alter wind speed, fetch, and duration. Each combination creates a unique wave measured in significant height.

Take the time and energy learn about Earth's energy budget. An engaging unit of four lessons focuses on the components that make up Earth's energy budget. Future scientists come up with a formula for the energy budget, then use software...
