    ELETRICITY: FORCE THAT CHANGED THE WORLD

    The Force that Changed The World documents the massive change electricity has had on the civilized world over the past century, and what it holds for the future. The ancient Greeks first discovered attractive electric forces when they rubbed amber with wool. In 1600, William Gilbert discovered that glass and diamonds behaved like amber and called these materials electrics, based on the term electrum, the Latin word for amber. From Ben Franklin to Alessandro Volta, Andre Ampere, and George Ohm, advances in understanding electricity were made. From the telephone to the television and from the refrigerator to air conditioning, we have reached the point where the whole world is but a key stroke away.

This branch of study is also known as Newtonian Physics and it applies to everyday conditions of speed, time, and gravitational pull here on earth. Students learn the theorems that have been proven so often they are called laws. Newton's first law describes inertia with respect to objects at rest and in motion and their reaction to external forces. The second law of motion describes and defines these forces. Newton's third law describes the opposing and opposite forces exerted between objects. Concepts include forces in equilibrium, mass as opposed to weight, inertia, static and kinetic friction, tension and new units of measure such as the Newton. .

    STANDARD DEVIANTS SCHOOL PHYSICS MODULE 6: WORK AND ENERGY

    The s roll up their sleeves and take a look at what work means in physics. You'll find out how to find an object's kinetic energy, the energy it has because of its motion. The mystery of attraction will be revealed as we cover the Law of Universal Gravitation. Finally, we'll answer that burning question: how much does a pizza weigh on the sun?' This module introduces the all important concept of work to the Physics student. Physics stops being theoretical at this point and becomes useful. The conservation of energy by conversion between its different forms is both a mathematical construct as well as a physical reality. Therefore work becomes a basic construct of Physics, Biology, and Chemistry. Kinetic energy vs. potential energy, the work-kinetic energy principle, and the use of the universal gravitation constant are covered in this module. .

    STANDARD DEVIANTS SCHOOL PHYSICS MODULE 7: PLANETARY MOTION AND HARMONIC MOTION

    We'll take a quick trip into space with the Deviants to learn Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion. Next, you'll find out about simple harmonic motion, a related law called Hooke's Law, and pendulums. Before we wave "goodbye," you'll also get an introduction to waves. Planetary motion is covered briefly in this module including Kepler's laws. This portion explains the elliptical orbit of planets and its effect on the orbital period. Harmonic motion studies start with the equations for a spring based on Hooke's Law and the definitions of period, cycle, amplitude, wavelength, frequency, spring constants and the restoring force. Building from module 6, the conservation of energy is employed in the conversion of kinetic energy to potential energy to kinetic energy again.

    STANDARD DEVIANTS SCHOOL PHYSICS MODULE 8: HEAT

    Physics is hot, hot hot! The s start off with the concept of heat transfer -- you'll find out how much energy it takes to raise the temperature of a substance. Next, we'll discuss changes of state. How much heat does it take to change ice to water, or solid silver to a gas?' The topic of heat transfer includes specific heat capacity, equilibrium temperature, energy conservation (again based from the principles of module 6), latent heat, and heats of fusion and vaporization. The joule is introduced as a new unit of measure. As with the subject of 'work', module 6, heat transfer is important in Physics, Biology, and Chemistry. It is an ever-present part of our lives with which everyone needs a working knowledge.

    STANDARD DEVIANTS SCHOOL PHYSICS MODULE 9: THERMODYNAMICS

    Thermodynamics city! The s start with the first law of thermodynamics. Then, naturally, the second law of thermodynamics. Next, we'll look at heat engines, an application of the second law. The last topic we'll cover is entropy, the measure of disorder of a system.

    The study of Thermodynamics (from the Greek heat and power) involves the conversion of energy to useful forms of power. These concepts powered the Industrial Revolution! A lot of information is included in this module-be sure to watch the DVD more than once. Topics include the three laws of thermodynamics, heat engines, work processes such as isovolumetric, isobaric and adiabatic, heat sources and sinks, and finally the concept of entropy, tricky at best. .

    BUILDING BRIDGES - THE PHYSICS OF CONSTRUCTION

    Using physics to build a bridge between design and construction, how we get from point A to B. This Australian-made, curriculum fit program explores how bridges are made, with a focus on the physics used in design and construction. The elements of bridge building are explored step by step, from conception to completion - including factors such as materials used and how costs are governed by environmental, aesthetic and functional elements. These key issues are discussed by Technical Manager Cliff Sagot and Senior Structural Engineer Natalie Balcott from The Robert Bird Group. Their first hand knowledge gives an invaluable look into how these structures bring land and people together but also illustrate the shortfalls of bad design.

    WHAT IS ONE DEGREE? TEMPERATURE AND SCIENTIFIC MEASUREMENT

    What exactly is a degree of temperature? How is it defined and measured in the strictest scientific sense? Will answering these questions shed light on the complexities of climate change? This program explores the mysteries of temperature and energy with engaging demonstrations and high-level expert commentary. Beginning with a visit to Britain's National Physical Laboratory, the institution tasked with formally defining one degree, the video looks at the atomic aspects of temperature and their fundamental relationship with molecular energy. It also investigates extremes of temperature-from millionths of a degree above absolute zero in low-temperature test facilities to JET's fusion laboratory work, which has produced some of the highest temperatures recorded. Finally, the film examines the relationship between the Sun's energy and temperatures on Earth.

    PHYSICS OF MEDICAL IMAGING, THE

    Medical imaging is a critical tool in the diagnosis of health conditions, and therefore in decisions about the most appropriate and effective treatment of patients. This technology has developed at a significant rate in recent decades, and is making possible a whole range of important advances in the way we look after people's health. Behind the technology of medical imagining are a number of important principles of physics, and it is this discipline which has underpinned the advances made in modern health care. This program looks in depth at four kinds of sensing used in medical imaging - Ultrasound, Electromagnetic waves including X-Rays and CAT scans, radioactivity, such as PET or Positron Emission Tomography, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging or MRI, which uses electromagnetism.

    WHAT'S SPECIAL ABOUT RELATIVITY? - EINSTEIN'S SPECIAL THEORY OF RELATIVITY

    Belief in the principle of Relativity and the constancy of the velocity of light, regardless of reference frame, led Einstein to his Special Theory of Relativity. Our young presenter, guided by Einstein in his 'Think Tank', fearlessly investigates the Special Theory. The relativity of simultaneity, the concept of space-time, the Lorentz transformations are among the concepts explained as Einstein's Special Theory is revealed. Using simple language and illuminating graphics, the program demystifies Relativity in a format designed to appeal to a youthful audience.
