Bill Nye The Science Guy on Static Electricity (Full Clip) Stuff to Blow Your Kid's Mind: Static Electricity" Flowchart_35. All-about-water. Introduction to Forces. Introduction to Forces Forces are in play all around us.
Things hanging, sitting, balancing, moving and spinning are all using some kind of force. Forces come in different forms and they all result in something. Let us start the lesson with this short picture — " Milly opened the fridge and brought out chilled can of soda. Milly applied force in many of her actions (highlighted actions). Force, together with its various types are applied in almost every single activity in our lives.
Pushing the shopping cart, pulling the baby stroller, lifting weights at the gym, eating and many other things involve the use of some force. Can you think of the many ways in which you have applied a force to get results? Forces can: Change the direction of an object. Turn things. Change the shape of something. Kinds of Energy. NOTE: If you want to learn about Energy in terms of Renewable and Non-renewable Energy, please select an option below: What is energy?
Look around you. What is genetics about? Introduction to genetics.
Genetics is probably one of the most exciting lessons in biology. At the same time, it can be a bit confusing because sometimes it is difficult to imagine what the bare eyes cannot see. We will try to make things very simple and easy for you. Introduction to photosynthesis. Introduction to photosynthesis Every living creature needs food or energy to survive.
Some depend on others for food and energy, whiles others can produce their own food. Classification of matter. Elements, Compounds, Substances and Mixtures In the study of science, it is very important to know that all solids are not the same, and all liquids, and gases are never the same.
In addition to that, it is important to understand why all liquids are not the same, and why some are purer than others, in terms of their chemical make-up or compositions. This is why classification of matter is important. Classification of matter Matter can be classified into two categories: pure substances and mixtures. This classification is based on the internal composition of that matter.
What is matter? Introduction to matter Matter is anything, such as a solid, liquid or gas, that has weight (mass) and occupies space.
For anything to occupy space, it must have volume. Thinking about it, everything on earth has weight and takes up space, and that means everything on earth is matter. Take a look at this boy blowing bubbles. He is holding a cup with some bubble solution in it. The boy's cup, liquid and the air he is blowing is matter. It is because of their individual properties that they are made up of. Experiments. Lawrence Hall of Science - 24/7 Science. How fast does the wind blow?
