Understand the forces around and how friction, gravity, electromagnetism, and the atom play an integral role. Newton's three laws of motion are presented and explained in detail. Program is designed to reinforce and support the viewer's comprehension and retention of these terms through use of video footage, photographs, diagrams, and colorful, animated graphics and labels. See and hear the terms used in a variety of contexts, providing a model for...

Focusing on the idea that forces can either be balanced or unbalanced, this program makes such concepts as friction and magnetism accessible to children through fun, real-life demonstrations.

"Newton's Three Laws of Motion are at work in virtually every Disney theme park ride and attraction. The Walt Disney Imagineers demonstrate how they use Newton's Three Laws to create some of the most exciting ride experiences possible. From the thrilling rockets of California Adventure's Golden Zephyr to the wild twists of California Screamin', students will learn to define acceleration, friction and motion. Best of all, they'll be able to see first-hand...

"Students will travel along with the young host to explore the world of physical science in this 16 part series for grades 5-8. Each DVD takes kids beyond the basics to explain topics such as light, sound, the periodic table, atoms & molecules, forces, flights and more. Each program includes a hands-on activity that students can perform in the classroom as well as information about an investigation data sheet svailable online that can be used for...

Sid is trying out his new dance on his hardwood floors when he discovers that friction prevents him from sliding. When he plays ball, he quickly learns that if a ball doesn't have enough elasticity, it won't bounce. This calls for some investigating; after pretending to be 'Super Sid' by kicking the ball with all his might, Sid and his friends take a trip to the Science Center to investigate how using lots of force makes things move far and fast....

See how to conduct home experiments that transform potential energy into kinetic energy and use falling water to make energy.

Discover that all objects have gravitational force and what determines the strength of gravity's force.

"Have you ever wondered how astronauts float in space, or how your pizza gets from your plate to your mouth? Basic principles of physics, including learning about distance, displacement, speed, velocity, acceleration, forces, friction, gravity, and Newton's laws of motion, are explored through diagrams, photos, and information"--Container.

Students explore concepts such as ferromagnetism, magnetic fields and magnetic domains. They also discover the difference between temporary and permanent magnets as well as the connection between magnetism and electricity.

An entertaining look at energy, its various forms and properties.
