Psychology may not be as rigidly empirical as physics or chemistry, but it is a science nonetheless. So how precisely do psychologists do science? What methods do they utilize to gather data? What is a case study, and how can these be...

This video is about how to recode data and manipulate data using R programming. It is really an R programming for beginners videos. It provides a demonstration of how to recode data using the tidyverse package (specifically the dplyr...

""Using examples drawn from contemporary studies (Rosenhan, Hartup, LaFrance and Mayo) this film outlines and examines different types of naturalistic observation.

A key component of answering questions and solving problems is to conduct investigations. In easy-to-understand language, this video describes what investigations are and why they are important. Special emphasis is placed on...

When I first saw Autocrat, it looked really complicated and nerdy, but it's really quite a simple tool. Remember Mail Merge between Microsoft Excel Spreadsheets and Microsoft Word? It's like that but with the added value of automatically...

Use pivot_longer() to change data from wide to long data. This is part of the R programming for beginners series. If you are learning data analysis or statistics, then this video is for you. Data scientists using R often need to shape...

A simple demonstration showing how some clouds are bright and others are dark.

It explains how standard deviation and variance can overcome the limitations of mean deviation and demonstrates their computation for ungrouped and grouped data.

During its K2 campaign, NASA's Kepler spacecraft observed the eighth planet in our solar system, Neptune. Kepler detected small changes in Neptune's brightness caused by the planet's daily rotation, the movement of...

Taking advantage of the total lunar eclipse of January 2019, astronomers, using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, have measured the amount of ozone in Earth’s atmosphere.



The method used serves...

This video is an introduction to summary statistics, which are used to summarize data sets into meaningful information. The video discusses the two main criteria that summary statistics should meet, which are that they should be...

A team of astrophysicists has created a simulated image that shows how the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope could conduct a mega-exposure similar to but far larger than Hubble’s celebrated Ultra-Deep Field...

Lately, I've become a target for people who like to tell me that "I'm doing nutrition" wrong. Evidently, some people don't agree with my plea, "Don't judge" when it comes to what others eat.

A very important part of solving problems is to ask questions. This fascinating program teaches students how to ask relevant and useful questions. Students will also learn how some questions are easier to answer than others.

What is 'learned behaviour'? Where does it feature in the environment? And how does it compare to 'innate behaviour? In this Ecology GCSE / K12 video learn all of the answers to these questions.

The Hubble and Kepler space telescopes found evidence for what could be a giant moon accompanying a gas-giant planet that orbits the star Kepler-1625, located 8,000 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus. The moon may...

A portion of our culture distrusts the scientific method, assuming that there are transcendent truths unknowable by science. But nothing is truly out of bounds for science. If it's real, it can be studied, and tested. Perhaps the...

Sometimes waves arrive at a beach or shore in the shape of a grid. Here's how that may happen.
