How do solar panels work?
TED-Ed Published on Jan 5, 2016 SUBSCRIBE 5.1MSUBSCRIBE SUBSCRIBED UNSUBSCRIBE View full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/how-do-sol... 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. |

Popstick Chain Reaction
Published on Jun 18, 2013 Click here to find out why this reaction happens: http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/l... 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. Lesson by Jonathan Bergmann (http://flippedlearning.org/), animation by Cognitive Media (http://www.cognitivemedia.co.uk/). |

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 Amazing World of Atoms" (atoms explained simply) PDF Words : Jacques Deferne Drawings : Alain Gassener CERN Game |

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) |
