This is episode 6 of our animated series "Think Like A Coder." This 10-episode narrative follows a girl, Ethic, and her robot companion, Hedge, as they attempt to save the world. The two embark on a quest to collect three artifacts and...

During a Formula 1 race, a car sends hundreds of millions of data points to its garage for real-time analysis and feedback. So why not use this detailed and rigorous data system elsewhere, like at children's hospitals? Peter van Manen...

Usually, driving in circles is a bad thing. But when you're on a real, honest-to-goodness racetrack, doing laps can be fun!

Pupil outcome: I can write my own imaginative poem following the same structure as ‘The Magic Box’. Key learning points: - ‘The Magic Box’ by Kit Wright is a poem about putting a variety of unique and wonderful items into a special box....

This video provides an inside look at Jaguar Racing's efforts to improve their Formula One race car, the R4. They have implemented a completely new design with enhanced aerodynamics, improved suspension and steering systems, and a...

Go straight to the top of the class – learn spelling with our lesson about School Words. With Susie Dent as Lady Lexicographer exploring interesting words.

There's one thing every driver always want more of: Grip. Grip is the frictional force that holds the tires on the track, but crew chiefs like Steve Letarte describe it as a 'warm and fuzzy feeling' when you have it. Whether mechanical...

A racecar driver is like Goldilocks: The car always seems to be too loose or too tight. Getting the right balance is hard because the weight of the fuel changes and the tires wear during each green-flag run. Understanding the science is...

If you hold your feet flat or point them, does it change how far you slide. This video shows the answer and explains why using the concept of drag force.

This is a very basic introductory to Tip-to-Tail Vector Addition Problem using a motorized toy car that I made. I don't just talk about it in a general sense, I actually show the different vectors being added together.

NASCAR corners are divided into three parts because the car's grip changes in different parts of a turn. The higher center of gravity in the new car challenges crew chiefs to minimize weight shift around a turn. Equipment like the...

Join young host Kristin as she introduces you to each letter of the alphabet and things that go from A to Z! Light-hearted, kid-friendly illustrations depict everything from an awesome airplane to a revved-up racecar, all while you're...

"Frightening" is how Jeff Gordon describes fire, even though he knows he's protected head to toe (and right down to his underwear) by fire-resistant Nomex fabric. Firesuits and the associated gear don't just protect drivers from fire,...

Increasing the time of a collision from a tenth of a second to two tenths of a second can make a huge difference in the number of G's a driver experiences. The car, the track, seat belts, and seat construction spread out the force of...

Engine power is constrained at superspeedways like Daytona and Talladega, so teams use aerodynamics to gain an advantage. Teams adjust their cars to minimize drag, but then it's up to the drivers to find 'the draft' and to trust the...

This is a very basic introduction to Tip-to-Tail Vector Addition using a motorized toy car that I made. Also included is an introduction to Vectors and Scalars, their definitions and some variable examples of Vectors and Scalars.

Anyone can go fast straight: The challenge is turning. It takes more than ten thousand pounds of force to get a racecar around Turn 3 at Texas Motor Speedway at 180 mph. All that force comes from four tiny patches of rubber--the only...

"Loud is fast" Brian Vickers tells us, and speed is one reason racecars don't have mufflers. Experiencing a NASCAR race means feeling the roar of the engines as well as hearing them. It's all good--as long as you've got your ear protection.

Friction always creates heat. Brakes and tires depend on friction to work, but more friction isn't always better. In the engine, friction is never good and engine builders use everything from oil to high-tech coatings to get a little...

Conservation of energy explains how NASCAR's new car helped driver Michael McDowell walk away from a scary crash at Texas Motor Speedway in 2008.

Sometimes the biggest problems can be solved by looking at the tiniest details. NION Co. president Ondrej Krivanek and Rutgers University scientist Philip Batson are part of a collaboration to build one of the world's most advanced...
