This video discusses these 13 misconceptions, including:

• Global warming is not happening so it was renamed climate change

• The globe is not warming

• In the past, scientists warned of global cooling...

This video introduces 4 interesting physics problems about rotational motion. Students are asked to explain each problem.

1. A mystery object rolling down an inclined plank.  The cylinder moves in a stop-start motion.

The container is filled with honey and 2 ping pong balls. The changing centre of...

The first video presents five physics phenomena:

1. Centre of mass

2. Flipping a phone

3. Static electricity deflecting water

4. Magnetic cereals

5. Tea bag rocket

Explanations are given in the second video:

1.The finger nearest the centre of mass will also have the...

This short film explains how the 60 second adventures in microgravity series was put together. It features some of the researchers, animators and script writers involved.

This animated clip explains how Mercury rotates in around 59 Earth days to rotate but only takes 88 Earth days to orbit the Sun (the length of its year). So Mercury spins three times for every two orbits, which means each Mercury day lasts for two Mercury years. This means, living on Mercury, you would celebrate...

This video demonstrates how standing waves on a string can be produced by using a signal generator and vibration generator (Melde’s apparatus).

Both nodes (zero displacement) and anti-nodes (maximum displacement) are created at different frequencies.  The distance between nodes is given as ¹/_...

A good A-level physics revision video linked to adding vectors.  Here you look at how this can be done both mathematically or using scale drawings, by being taken through each method step by step.  This is ideal for revision and could be used in a lesson or shared with students.

Steve analyses the flow of air over racing cars.  He studied aero-mechanical engineering at university and following a two week summer placement, at Lola cars, he was offered a position in the company.
