Scientists can't just change a neutron to a proton, can they? Although they don't have control of this process yet, they have identified the weak force that does exactly that. The simple graphics in an interesting video explain the...

Cloaking devices aren't just for Star Trek and Harry Potter any more! Here's a video that explains how cloaking devices work, or don't work. It details the technology needed to perfect cloaking and offers ideas for where researchers...

Heart of gold, gold mine, good as gold, gold digger. Why is gold so fascinating and such a focus of popular expression? Is it due to rarity, its shine, or some other factor? Here's a video that focuses on how gold is made and...

While a cosmic distance ladder sounds like fun, it is actually the name given to the variety of methods astronomers use to determine the distance to objects in space. This video examines the method of determining the distance of a star...

Can you predict what will happen more than 850 years in the future, down to the exact date? Scientists and mathematicians know exactly when specific asteroids will pass near us or possibly hit us. The video explains how they track the...

The largest series of nuclear fusion reactions in our solar system has been happening for millions of years. The sun works in much the same way that atomic bombs work. Here is a video that describes how each work and the safety checks...

Did you know our sun has the power to make telegraphs work and cell phones cease to work? Show a video that explains solar storms and their impact on us. It describes what solar storms are, when and why they happen, and the good and...

More than half of your body is made of water, but what percentage of you is made up of hydrogen? This video explains how to solve for percentage mass. It uses water as one example of solving for both hydrogen and oxygen. 

Show class members how to balance equations, keeping in mind the conservation of mass, with a video demonstration that provides a few sample problems and solutions. 

Sampling techniques scientists use, including coning and quartering, as well as aliquots, are the focus of a video that also looks at homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures.

Are there more stars in the universe than grains of sand in the sea? This video looks at the way scientists attempt to answer this question by using data from NASA and focusing on observable space.

Warp drive is promising in science fiction but seemingly impossible in reality. This video explains what a warp drive is, its limitations, and examines new advances and discoveries that mean the development of warp drive is becoming...

What might happen if a body encounters the vacuum of space? Through multiple experiments and a couple of real-life accidents, we know more about how a person would die — and it doesn't look nearly as dramatic as science fiction...

There are many movies about asteroids destroying Earth and what we, as humanity, do to destroy the asteroid. This video presents the actual plans theorized by NASA. It mentions the pros and cons of each method as well as the reason we...

An informative video is a tribute to the man best known for stepping onto the moon. Neil Armstrong was a pilot before he could drive, an engineer, and a symbol of human achievement whom shall never be forgotten.

The edge of the solar system is not smooth, but rather a sea of magnetic bubbles. Scientists know this thanks to the observations and measurements from Voyager. A video offers interesting facts about the Voyager mission and the farthest...

We are using some natural resources at a rate that means we will run out of them in the near future, but what if we could get them from space? Watch a video that highlights a company that was founded to mine asteroids and other...

Can we really have humans on Mars within a decade? Only time can tell, but here is a video that explains the four challenges that must be addressed in order to have a manned mission to Mars. It also discusses how government programs...

"Europa’s ocean is considered to be one of the most promising places that could potentially harbor life in the solar system,” said Geoff Yoder, with NASA’s Science Mission Directorate. Show a video that shares four surprising facts...

How would it feel if you were hired for a temporary job that was to last just over two years and you were still working every day more than five years later? Probably not very happy! The video shares the excitement when Curiosity was...

Viewers of this short video learn how atom economy is calculate, why the information is important, and when people in the industry use the calculations.

First equations had numbers, then chemical equations had letters, then they added in numeric subscripts, now what is going on with the alphabetic subscripts? The sixth video in a 29-part series explains how states of matter symbols are...

Many scholars are overwhelmed when asked to balance chemical equations because they don't understand subscripts. Directly address this common point of confusion with a video that explains how to count the number of atoms in...

Have you ever wondered why the atomic mass listed on the periodic table isn't a whole number? This video explains how weighted averages are calculated and relates the average to the relative atomic mass. Viewers are then given an element...
