​The European project ENGINEER is addressing the shortfall in expertise by introducing 1,000 teachers and 27,000 students from primary schools across Europe to the problem solving principles of engineering. Twenty-six institutions from twelve countries have committed to this challenging initiative of inspiring children to choose engineering for learning and fun.

The Earth intercepts a lot of solar power: 173,000 terawatts. That’s 10,000 times more power than the planet’s population uses. So is it possible that one day the world could be completely reliant on solar energy? Richard Komp examines how solar panels convert solar energy to electrical energy.

Popsicle sticks are great for holding frozen treats and reading the occasional joke off of, but did you know they're excellent for demonstrating potential and kinetic energy? It's true! If you weave popsicle sticks together just right, you can create a chain reaction that will create a dazzling display of flying popsicle sticks!

Balancing Sculptures
Published on Sep 4, 2014

Make an incredible gravity-defying balancing structure and investigate the science of stability.
For more ideas, and to download an info sheet click here: https://www.facebook.com/Ri.ExpeRimental

ExpeRimental, brought to you by the Royal Institution of Great Britain, is a series of free short films that make it fun, easy and cheap to do science at home with children aged 4 to 10.
We think this would be an excellent way to show air has weight by adding a balloon and a pin prick at the soft end once it's all been balanced. Try it.

Just How Small is an Atom?  Video Credit Youtube  Published on 16 Apr 2012 by TEDEducation

Just how small are atoms? And what's inside them? The answers turn out to be astounding, even for those who think they know. This fast-paced animation uses spectacular metaphors (imagine a blueberry the size of a football stadium!) to give a visceral sense of the building blocks that make our world.

The Large Hadron Collider at CERN
Our understanding of the Universe is about to change...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a gigantic scientific instrument near Geneva, where it spans the border between Switzerland and France about 100 m underground. It is a particle accelerator used by physicists to study the smallest known particles – the fundamental building blocks of all things. It will revolutionise our understanding, from the minuscule world deep within atoms to the vastness of the Universe.

This video captures the moment in history proving the LHC worked. It features the celebration by scientists around the world.

The Announcement of a Discovery at CERN

CERN has pretty much found the Higgs-Boson and scientists say, "Our understanding of the Universe is about to change, now the exciting work of understanding its significance begins". The man of the moment Professor Peter Higgs in the white shirt looks emotional as the announcement is made. In 1964 he and five other physicists were the first to proposed the existence of an invisible field lying across the Universe and giving particles their mass. (1.28 min)
