This program uses original animation and live-action examples to present the concepts of mass, matter, and inertia, clearly distinguishing between mass and weight. Also, Newton’s laws of motion are introduced, with an emphasis on mass as a measurement of inertia. A Cambridge Educational Production. (9 minutes)

		Science Fair Projects: The Ultimate Guide This video provides a step-by-step guide to science projects. Interviews with participants at science fairs and footage of their projects provide most of the information. Participants describe where they got their ideas, how they conducted their expe...(more details)
		Muscular System at Work: The Inner Athlete This program looks at the many roles played by muscle and skin in our everyday lives. Topics include muscles and movement; cardiac, smooth, and skeletal muscle; detailed structure of a skeletal muscle; types of muscle contraction and movement; muscle...(more details)
		Monera, Protista, and Fungi Underpinning the plant and animal kingdoms is a group of organisms so basic-and alien-as to require three separate kingdoms of its own. This program explores the realms of Monera, Protista, and Fungi, spotlighting representative classes and species a...(more details)
		Acceleration This program defines and demonstrates the concepts of speed, velocity, and acceleration, using basic equations to stress their interrelation. There is also a demonstration of how a variation of Newton's second law of motion can be used to determine t...(more details)
		Force Using visual examples and basic calculations, this program defines and illustrates the concept of force, with an emphasis on the relationship between force and motion. Several kinds of forces are examined, including gravity, friction, and centripetal...(more details)
