This video lesson will focus on systems that are said to be in equilibrium- that is, systems that are not allowed to move away from their original places or rotate about their axis. Students will learn about static equilibrium by exploring themselves what is meant by translational equilibrium and rotational equilibrium and whether an equilibrium is stable, unstable, or neutral. [38:33]

Students move past the misconception that friction inhibits our ability to do things by watching videos and participating in corresponding activities. Activities which range in difficulty include calculating the coefficient of friction.

Students learn how to solve problems without doing a proof or exact calculation. Topics include dimensional analysis, successive approximation, generalization, and pictorial analysis. A syllabus, readings, assignments, and related resources are included.

A college course featuring mineral image galleries, labs, and instructor's notes on the topics of crystalline structure, crystal chemistry, and bonding in rock-forming minerals.

College-level electrical engineering and computer science textbook highlighting the applications of continuum electromechanics.

College-level textbook highlighting electromagnetism concepts. Many of the topics are explained in video demonstrations.

College-level textbook highlighting the interaction of electromagnetic fields with media in motion. Types of electromechanical interactions discussed include rotating machinery, plasma dynamics, the electromechanics of biological systems, and magnetoelasticity.

The resources provided by this course outline focus on the processes involved in the shaping of Earth's surface.

The main objective of this video lesson is to bring the students' attention to the importance of basic and natural sciences in our lives. The lesson will introduce a topic (sustainable energy) that is related mainly to chemistry and is not usually covered directly in a high school curriculum. [33:34]

An MIT graduate student guides a classroom through fun activities that will introduce students to graph theory. The goal of these activities: find a route through a town without crossing the same path twice. Video is accompanied by a teacher's guide, a transcript, a class handout, and several links to information on graph theory. [55:25]

This lesson is an introductory topic in thermodynamics, on the conversion of energy. The aim of this video is to support students in visualizing the conversion of energy and its importance in real world applications. [24:07]

How is it that all cells in our body have the same genes, yet cells in different tissues express different genes? A basic notion in biology that most high school students fail to conceptualize is the fact that all cells in the animal or human body contain the same DNA, yet different cells in different tissues express, on the one hand, a set of common genes, and on the other, express another set of genes that vary depending on the type of tissue and the stage of development. [29:12]

After viewing video components, students use manipulatives to work with the famous Towers of Hanoi problem. The goal is for learners to begin to understand recursive logic and thinking, relevant to computer scientists, mathematicians, and engineers.

This lesson introduces students to the "Tragedy of the Commons," an extended metaphor for problems of shared environmental or man-made resources that are overused and eventually depleted. In this metaphor, shared resources are compared to a common grazing pasture, or commons, on which any dairy farmer can graze as many cows as he/she wishes. [31:34]

The objective of this video lesson is to correct the misconception in the students' understanding of centrifugal force. The lesson will work to clarify this misconception by using Newton's three laws of motion, particularly the law of inertia, and will demonstrate that the only force acting during a uniform circular motion is centripetal force (i.e., towards the center) - not including the force of gravity. [27:04] (English Subtitles)

This lesson focuses on the molecular biology technique of DNA fingerprinting: what it is, how it works, and how the data from these experiments are used for paternity testing and forensics. [45:48]

This video is meant to be a fun, hands-on session that gets students to think hard about how machines work. It teaches them the connection between the geometry that they study and the kinematics that engineers use - explaining that kinematics is simply geometry in motion. [52:49]

The major purpose of this lesson is to promote the learning of eye function by associating eye problems and diseases to parts of the eye that are affected.

Through videos and cooperative learning, students to are introduced to algorithmic thinking within a popular field in graph theory, social networking.

This learning video is designed to encourage students to be curious about things they experience in their everyday lives. It emphasizes the importance of questioning and searching for answers. To demonstrate this, simple questions like, "Why the sky is blue? Why the leaves change colors in the fall?" [32:31]
