Bill Nye the Science Guy: Motion 001620,VH VHS video 25 min PJI 1999 0430 NoDup Bill gets things rolling and then puts on the brakes to demonstrate how things cannot move or stop moving by themselves. Everything needs a push or a pull – a force – to make them move or stop. Forces are required for movement because all objects have inertia. Sometimes an object might seem to be at rest, even when it is in motion. Confused? It is all relative. Relative motion, that is.

Program 2: Mass Building on the concept of inertia, Eureka! adds the factor of mass, tells how it’s measured, and shows how it differs from size. Concept: Inertia increases with mass. Program 3: Speed The concept of speed is introduced to the inertia-mass relationship. Concept: Force varies with mass and rate of change of speed. Program 4: Acceleration I With the examples of a bicycle and a baseball player, an important rule of physics becomes apparent. Concept: Force = mass x acceleration. Program 5: Acceleration II An animated locomotive helps explain how acceleration works and is calculated. The importance of reasonable units is stressed. Concept: Acceleration = m/s2 Program 6: Gravity Isaac Newton’s celebrated falling apple is cited to explain the force of gravity and the unit with which the force of gravity is measured. Concept: Force of gravity = mass x 10m/ s2 Program 7: Weight vs Mass Eureka! explains the difference between weight and mass, and shows how only mass is the same on the moon and on the earth. Program 8: Work A circus strongman and a clown help present the physics definition of work. Concept: Work = force x distance. Program 9: Kinetic Energy Animated billiard balls help demonstrate kinetic energy - the energy of motion. Program 10: Potential Energy A rock teetering on the edge of a cliff is shown to have potential energy - the energy of position.

THE WAY THINGS WORK DVD series 15 min PJ 2011 NoDup THE WAY THINGS WORK DVD is a fully-animated series based on the best-selling book by Caldecott Medallist David Macaulay. Each fun-filled episode enables students to understand how the principles of physics affect daily life. On the mythical "Mammoth Island", a group of Islanders and their indigenous mammoths are caught up in a series of entertaining adventures which are motivated and inspired by their need to find solutions to various everyday problems. All the discoveries of the Mammoth Islanders have been chronicled and sketched in a visiting inventor’s journal. This colourful journal forms the basis of the series and will assist students in learning all about "The Way Things Work". Topics include ballooning, belts & gears, cooling, electricity, engines, flight, floating, friction, heat, inclined planes, levers, light, magnets, musical instruments, photography, pressure, pulleys, pumps, screws, sensors, sinking, sound, springs, steam power, telecommunications and wheels & axles.

BELTS and GEARS DV0664,DV DVD 13 min PJ 2011 0449 NoDup Belts & Gears.

Olive, a young Islander, enlists the help of a visiting inventory to design exciting new ideas and together they decide that using belts and gears will help make the fair a success. While belts and gears don’t increase the amount of force applied, they can transfer the force to change direction or speed. And this results in some terrific new rides.

Pulleys DV0674,DV DVD 13 min PJ 2011 0449 NoDup Pulleys. A pulley is a wheel that carries a rope, chain or cable on its rim and can be used to lift a heavy load. While a single pulley system does make it possible to lift a heavy mammoth, it does not take any less effort. Luckily, pulleys can be used in many ways. More pulleys working together do lessen the effort it takes to do work. A double pulley system would allow to lift a load with half the effort of a single pulley. A block and tackle is a pulley system with a number of pulleys working together, a tenpulley system would require one tenth of the effort of a single pulley to lift a heavy load. The use of chains and counterweights along with pulleys make machines like boom cranes, elevators and escalators possible. Tools like these make moving loads easier.

Olive, a young Islander, enlists the help of a visiting inventory to design exciting new ideas and together they decide that using belts and gears will help make the fair a success. While belts and gears don’t increase the amount of force applied, they can transfer the force to change direction or speed. And this results in some terrific new rides.

Engines 002955,VH VHS video 13 min J 2005 0430 NoDup In this video, inhabitants of Mammoth Island look for an alternative to mammoths to speed up pizza delivery. They decide to experiment with different engines and discover how eachone works – from simple rockets to turbofan jet engines to gasoline engines. Comparing the advantages and drawbacks of these internal combustion engines, the Islanders determine which one will serve their business best and ensure their pizzas are delivered on time.

Pulleys 003114,VH VHS video 13 min J 2006 NoDup A pulley is a wheel that carries a rope, chain or cable on its rim and can be used to lift a heavy load. While a single pulley system does make it possible to lift a heavy mammoth, it does not take any less effort. Luckily, pulleys can be used in many ways. More pulleys working together do lessen the effort it takes to do work. A double pulley system would allow to lift a load with half the effort of a single pulley. A block and tackle is a pulley system with a number of pulleys working together, a tenpulley system would require one tenth of the effort of a single pulley to lift a heavy load. The use of chains and counterweights along with pulleys make machines like boom cranes, elevators and escalators possible. Tools like these make moving loads easier.

Springs 002964,VH VHS video 13 min J 2005 0430 NoDup IN Springs, a visiting inventor observes a family harvesting coconuts on Mammoth Island using devices called springs. Springs come in two shapes: there are coil springs and there are bending bars called leaf springs – which is what the Islanders use to improve their coconut collecting. Springs store potential energy when they are stretched or compressed. This stored energy is transferred to the energy of motion, causing the coconuts to go flying through the air.
