You probably don't think much about birds most of the time, but these little former-dinosaurs are amazing! So, here's a collection of videos in which we've tackled our viewers' biggest bird questions!

This week on SciShow news Hank explains what Curiosity has found, . . .water on Mars!

If it smells like delicious buttered popcorn when you are in a middle of the forest, it’s not because there’s a movie theater nearby, but Binturongs, arboreal carnivore, might be.

How do they do it? Penguins standing on ice, not only for days, but their whole lives! And their feet don’t hurt like ours would. It has something to do with blood and an amazing twist that penguins have developed.

You'd think that air that was the same temperature as your body would feel neutral, but if you've ever been outside when it's 37 degrees Celsius out... you know that's not the case! Hosted by: Stefan Chin

Their signature black and white color scheme is part of what makes pandas instantly recognizable - but not many mammals are black and white, so... why do they look like that?

In the 1980s, the world faced a huge problem: there was a rapidly expanding hole in the ozone layer. If it continued to grow, rates of skin cancer could skyrocket, photosynthesis would be impaired, agricultural production would plummet,...

With winter in full swing, Jessi and Squeaks are snowed in for the day and passing the time with their favorite game: Guess That Animal!

Squeaks and Mister Brown love cotton candy, so they learn how cotton candy machines turn regular sugar into fluffy, delicious cotton candy!

In the early 20th century, Alfred Wegener's theory of Continental Drift laid the foundation for our modern theory of plate tectonics. And today we know something even more exciting: Pangea was only the latest in a long lineage of...

More than a quarter of the U.S. population is expected to deal with sub-zero temperatures this week. The extreme cold has sparked some public skepticism over global warming, but scientists actually believe it is a consequence of climate...

In this video Paul Andersen explains how energy is used in chemical processes and everyday life. Students should understand that energy is neither created or destroyed but is converted. Most of the energy is delivered to our planet from...

In this video Paul Andersen explains how the greenhouse effect and greenhouse gases keep our planet warm enough to be habitable. He explains how greenhouse gases keep heat closer to the surface. He finally shows how increases in...

In this video Paul Andersen describes the relationship between energy and forces. When objects are directly touching electromagnetic forces can result in forces and energy exchange. When objects are not directly touching fields;...

This video is about how efficient various reactions are at converting mass to energy (as we know from the Einstein mass-energy equivalence of E=mc^2). Antimatter is very efficient but it is not naturally-occurring. Chemical reactions...

Roller coasters give people the opportunity to experience physics in dramatic ways. In this episode of SciShow, we break down how physics work on roller coasters to give you the ride of your life!

The physics of the perfect storm

Modern medicine has made great strides when it comes to treating and preventing some of the worst diseases in history. But getting that medicine from labs to remote regions presents some interesting engineering challenges.

This Nobel Prize season, dive into the world of the super small for physics and chemistry. It's where the nanocars roam and phase transitions get really weird.

Throughout history humans have come up with lots of different ways to build shelters for themselves. But sometimes, inspiration for better construction materials comes from nature, in structures you might not expect — like the scales on a

The James Webb Space Telescope has launched! But it was a very long road to get to this point, and we’ve been following the progress for a decade!

The heat equation, as an introductory PDE.

In this video Paul Andersen explains how mass can be converted to energy and energy can be converted to mass. The equation E=mc2 can be used to determine the amount of energy released from nuclear processes.

Since 1850, global average temperatures have risen by 1 degree Celsius. That may not sound like a lot, but it is. Why? 1 degree is an average. Many places have already gotten much warmer and if average temperatures increase one more...
