Forces and Motion: The Physics of Car Crashes *suitable for home teaching*

This film clip uses slow motion footage filmed during car crash testing to explore how energy is distributed during the fractions of a second when cars crash. The clip explores ideas of inertia, resultant forces, energy and momentum, but applies it in the real world context of designing air bags, crumple zones...

Waves, Seismic Imaging, and Tectonics

This film clip looks at how different waves behave depending on the nature of the material they are passing through. It shows how seismic survey teams make use of these differences in velocity, absorption, refraction and reflection to find out about underlying rock structures. The clip also explores how new...
