Mixtures 6: Empedocles and Unmixing
Empedocles was an ancient Greek Philosopher and the first Western thinker to propose that everything in the world was a mixture of basic substances. H...
Mixtures 5: Hot Cocoa
Cocoa does not like to mix with cold water. Brian and the team use emulsifiers, heating and good old fashioned stirring to get the cocoa to mix in for...
Mixtures 4: Paper Boats
We've already seen that oil and water don't mix. In this episode, we see how we can use this to propel little paper "boats" on the surface of water.
Mixtures 3: Magic Sand
Magic Sand is specially treated sand that does not get wet! Another way of thinking of it is that it does not mix with water. At all. We play around w...
Mixtures 2: Oil and Water
First we play around with cornstarch and water a little bit more. Then we see what happens when you try to mix oil and water!
Discover a New Dimension 10: The Size of the Moon and Behind the Scenes
Do you think the moon looks bigger when it's close to the horizon that when it's straight overhead? Well, it's just an illusion...and we can prove it!...
Discover a New Dimension 9: Perception and Illusions
When you see objects next to each other, your brain makes certain assumptions. It's possible to trick your brain into seeing things in different ways!...
Discover a New Dimension 7: A New Dimension of Paper
If you pull paper one way it's easy to tear but it you pull it another it's not. Brian and the students see if they can hang from a newspaper.
Discover a New Dimension 8: How Strong Is Paper?
You might not think of paper as being exceptionally strong, but the again you might be surprised. In this segment you will see paper pulled as hard as...
Discover a New Dimension 6: Green Screen
Students can disappear and seem to catch on fire using a green screen. Check out how this works!
Discover a New Dimension 3: Polarization
Light, like any wave, can be polarized. That is to say that the wave can wiggle in certain directions. See what happens when you filter out light that...
Discover a New Dimension 2: The Spectrum of Light
In this podcast we look at everyday objects using the entire rainbow — the spectrum of light! Then we see what’s missing when we shine light through d...
Discover a New Dimension 1: Show Open and Sodium Lamp
This is our first Podcast from the Everyday Science show called Discover a New Dimension. Brian introduces some students from Preston Middle School an...
Electricity 13: People Are Electric! How About Our Food?
Brian shows that nerves in people are electric. What kinds of foods are electric conductors?
Electricity 11: Lightning Rod
We introduced Benjamin Franklin in an earlier podcast and now we look at one of his inventions, the lightning rod. How does a lightning rod work? We a...
Electricity 10: Van de Graaff generator
"Would you like to be shocked?" "Yes, please." Liam tries his hand at the Van de Graaff generator and learns a little about how it works. It's a hair...
Electricity 9: Static Sensing
When enough electrical charge is built up, you can get a spark! Shocking!
Electricity 8: Generators
Most often electricity is produced by a magnet rotating in a coil of wire, but something has to make that magnet rotate. There are many different ways...
Electricity 7: Magnets and Electricity
What can you do with a coil of wire and a magnet? Hint: It has something to do with electricity!
Electricity 6: Making a battery
Are there any everyday household items that can make a battery? Yes there are! Want to learn what and how? Watch this podcast and find out!
Electricity 5: Historical Scientist Benjamin Franklin
Is lightning a form of electricity? Our historical scientist Benjamin Franklin found out in a very shocking way!
Electricity 4: Conductivity of Water
You are a conductor and so is water! Check out this podcast to learn more about why you are a conductor and about the conductivity of water.
Electricity 3: Insulators and Conductors
Do you know how insulators and conductors are different? Do you know which one you are? Test your knowledge!
Electricity 2: Positive and Negative Charges
It's time to get sparky! In this podcast, we look at negative and positive charges and how they repel and attract.
Electricity 1: Show open and Static Electricity
This is our first podcast from a new EveryDay Science Show. Electricity is our topic and we start out by introducing static electricity.
