TED-Ed: What is the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle? - Chad Orzel
The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle states that you can never simultaneously know the exact position and the exact speed of an object. Why not? Because everything in the universe behaves like both a particle and a wave at the same time....

Environmental Economics
In this video Paul Andersen explains how economic models, like supply and demand, can be applied to environmental systems. The market forces will not protect environmental services until proper valuation and externalities are...

Position vs. Time Graph - Part 1
Mr. Andersen shows you how to interpret a position vs. time graph for an object with constant velocity. The slope of the line is used to find the velocity. A phet simulation is also included.

Cosmic Microwave Background Explained
HAS SPACE ALWAYS BEEN BLACK? As long as we've been around, YES. But the universe gets much more exciting, AND much BRIGHTER, as we start winding our clocks back to the early days of the universe. Near the beginning of the universe, when...

Integrals: Crash Course Physics
Continuing with last week's introduction of calculus, Shini leads us through the ways that integrals can help us figure out things like distance when we have several other key bits of information. Say, for instance, you wanted to know...

The Rate Law
Paul Andersen explains how the rate law can be used to determined the speed of a reaction over time. Zeroth-order, first-order and second-order reactions are described as well as the overall rate law of a reaction. The rate of a reaction...

Standard Error
Paul Andersen shows you how to calculate the standard error of a data set. He starts by explaining the purpose of standard error in representing the precision of the data. The standard error is based on the standard deviation and the...

Graphing Data by Spreadsheet
Paul Andersen shows you how to graph data by hand. He explains the required elements of a scatter plot with a best fit line. He shows you how to properly scale and label the axes.

Seasons and the Sun
Ever wonder why we have seasons? A lot of people think it's because the Earth gets further away from the sun in winter, and closer in the summer. But, it's actually more interesting than that. In this episode of Crash Course Kids,...

Intro to Algorithms: Crash Course Computer Science
Algorithms are the sets of steps necessary to complete computation - they are at the heart of what our devices actually do. And this isn’t a new concept. Since the development of math itself algorithms have been needed to help us...

TED-ED: How the K_nigsberg bridge problem changed mathematics - Dan Van der Vieren
You'd have a hard time finding the medieval city K_nigsberg on any modern maps, but one particular quirk in its geography has made it one of the most famous cities in mathematics. Dan Van der Vieren explains how grappling with...

TED-ED: How to spot a misleading graph - Lea Gaslowitz
When they're used well, graphs can help us intuitively grasp complex data. But as visual software has enabled more usage of graphs throughout all media, it has also made them easier to use in a careless or dishonest way - and as it turns...
