This video explains the relationship between mass and weight.  It then shows how the car’s weight is quite distinct from its inertia (how hard it is to move it in a horizontal plane).

The video states that the velocity (v) of a wave moving along a string is related to the strings tension (T) and its mass per unit length (μ).  The unit of tension is the Newton (N) and the unit of mass/length is kg/m.

A simple interrogation of the formula v = √(T/ μ) shows that as T increases so too does...

This video applies physics to explain how trees can move water up their trunks over 10m, which is the natural limit of sucked water. The ideas of transpiration, osmotic pressure and capillary attraction are considered.  The explanation shows how a negative pressure is be obtained from the intermolecular forces and...

The video explores people’s understanding of what light is. A wide range of misconceptions and incorrect ideas are given. Newton thought that light consisted of particles, whereas Huygens thought light was a wave. Using a cardboard box to recreate Thomas Young’s double slit experiment the wave properties of light...

This is a nice example of an animation produced by students to explain one impact of climate change - ocean acidification.  You could link with a local university department to enrich a project like this, as has been done in this case - Ridgeway School in Plymouth ...

This video demonstrates the Coriolis effect. However, explains that much of what we see in terms of rotating water in either the northern or southern hemispheres is mostly due to other angular momentum sources in the body of the water.

An explanation of the Coriolis effect uses a scientific model (thought...

This video begins with the mnemonics Very furry lambs and Cute furry lambs.

Using a model of a railway carriage (its length, x and time taken to travel, t) the equation for velocity (v = ^x/_t) is derived.  Equating the length of the carriage to wavelength, λ and time to the period, T the...
