When you use baseball to demonstrate the principles of physics, your students will see science in a whole new way. Divided into four segments, this program takes a close look at the pitch (how gravity, drag, and the Magnus force are used to manipulate the path of the ball); the hit (kinetic energy, the coefficient of restitution, and Newton's Laws of Motion - and the changes that result when rawhide meets wood); the flight (the effects of launch angle, drag, turbulence, temperature, air density, and the Magnus force on a ball during its flight to the bleachers); and running the bases (force, mass, inertia, and acceleration as the crowd goes wild!). A fascinating and informative teaching tool.

Presenting a cornerstone of physics, this program explores the motion of projectiles under gravity-initially in one dimension and then in two-through the examples of juggling balls, as well as stunt bikes and paragliders. Frequent summaries are combined with convenient cues to pause the program and allow students to apply their knowledge. Topics include: motion under constant acceleration, parabolic path of a projectile, resolving projectile motion into horizontal and vertical components, calculating air resistance using force vectors, and appropriate formulas for describing the path of any object in motion.

What is physics? Find out as the s introduce you to the basics, including scientific notation, numbers and units, scalars and vectors.
The Basics introductory module includes the review of the mathematics necessary for the study of Physics. To speak the language of Physics requires the ability to use scientific notation and to manipulate exponents plus an understanding of the metric naming convention. A review of the trigonometry and vector addition used in Physics is also provided. Don't panic- soon "sines and cosines" will seem as natural as "left" and "right". Those were once technical terms as well. Students will feel comfortable with this easy presentation of these necessary skills. This DVD should be considered a prerequisite to modules 2, 3, 4, and 5. Program consists of a single DVD as follows:
High quality DVD recording

The s introduces the Physics students to vectors and one-dimensional kinematics, including displacement, velocity, and acceleration. An understanding of vectors, an "arrow" that expresses both a quantity and a direction is critical to the understanding of Physics and engineering topics in general. Dot-product and cross-product multiplication of vectors is explained. This module also covers the study of motion in a straight line, kinematics, including velocity and acceleration. These are familiar concepts to most students as we are used to spending time in cars. This module expands that intuitive knowledge into more rigorous Physics thinking so as to build a sound foundation for the work to come. This DVD should be considered a prerequisite to modules 3, 4, and 5. Vectors can be an intimidating topic, yet it is presented in a student-friendly fashion.

The s discuss two-dimensional kinematics, motion in a plane, with a look at the role the Big G--gravity--plays in projectile motion. Then we'll show you some handy equations for figuring out projectile motion and uniform circular motion.
Kinematics in two-dimensions is motion in a plane; the most useful study of motion at the Newtonian level. Projectile motion equations are introduced as well as uniform circular motion and centripetal force and acceleration. Projectile motion covers clowns from cannons as well as rockets, squirt guns and skiers flying off jumps taking into account the effect of gravity.

Along the way you'll learn about radical radians and other science lingo. Finally, we'll look at linear momentum and its companion, the Principle of Conservation of Linear Momentum. The study of motion in a circle applies to a wide range of activities from Ferris wheels to Ferrari's, from technologies including space exploration to machine design. This module builds on concepts from Modules 2, 3 and 4. Rotational motion is simple and fun to study as it involves rotating objects such as tops or orbiting objects such as satellites. Linear and angular momentum problems are explored. Students calculate answers in rads (radians), degrees, and trig functions and use the metric system almost exclusively. .

The s discuss not one, not two, but three laws of motion, courtesy of Sir Isaac Newton. Then we'll roll up our sleeves as we look at work and energy. The student that has completed SDS Physics Modules 3 and 4 has mastered motion in straight and circular paths with and without acceleration. Now it is time to apply Newton's Laws of Motion. This branch of study is also known as Newtonian Physics and it applies to everyday conditions of speed, time, and gravitational pull here on earth. Students learn the theorems that have been proven so often they are called laws. Newton's first law describes inertia with respect to objects at rest and in motion and their reaction to external forces. The second law of motion describes and defines these forces. Newton's third law describes the opposing and opposite forces exerted between objects. Concepts include forces in equilibrium, mass as opposed to weight, inertia, static and kinetic friction, tension and new units of measure such as the Newton. .

The s roll up their sleeves and take a look at what work means in physics. You'll find out how to find an object's kinetic energy, the energy it has because of its motion. The mystery of attraction will be revealed as we cover the Law of Universal Gravitation. Finally, we'll answer that burning question: how much does a pizza weigh on the sun?' This module introduces the all important concept of work to the Physics student. Physics stops being theoretical at this point and becomes useful. The conservation of energy by conversion between its different forms is both a mathematical construct as well as a physical reality. Therefore work becomes a basic construct of Physics, Biology, and Chemistry. Kinetic energy vs. potential energy, the work-kinetic energy principle, and the use of the universal gravitation constant are covered in this module. .

We'll take a quick trip into space with the Deviants to learn Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion. Next, you'll find out about simple harmonic motion, a related law called Hooke's Law, and pendulums. Before we wave "goodbye," you'll also get an introduction to waves. Planetary motion is covered briefly in this module including Kepler's laws. This portion explains the elliptical orbit of planets and its effect on the orbital period. Harmonic motion studies start with the equations for a spring based on Hooke's Law and the definitions of period, cycle, amplitude, wavelength, frequency, spring constants and the restoring force. Building from module 6, the conservation of energy is employed in the conversion of kinetic energy to potential energy to kinetic energy again.

This is the true story of scientists searching for 'perpetual motion' and 'free energy,' which conventional science claims is impossible. A successful perpetual motion machine would alter the entire social and political balance of the world. It has been described as a 'machine to kill for.'
Trace the history of the idea across centuries of bizarre devices and gimcrack clockwork gadgets, into the present day where devotees cluster in packs to develop the most complex theories and mechanisms in the goal to uncover the secret of perpetual motion. Follow the story of utterly sincere and committed inventors like Aldo Costa, who has spent fifty years building a 56-foot diameter gravity wheel in France, or the American, John Bedini, propagating a whole race of electric motors that drive on themselves.
On the way discover that the mind is a tricky place, and hope is both a balm and a deceiver. Great ideas and great inventions are all guesses, all begin in faith and nurtured by optimism, and advance in the teeth of resistance. And who should tell a crusader when to stop? After all it was Einstein who said, "Great inventions often receive violent opposition from mediocre minds."
A documentary that addresses several of the better known technologies that appear to defy known laws of physics
Detailed scientific theory of the impossibility of perpetual motion and the inventors that strive to disprove it

Review
"The documentary could be used as a resource when studying motion and simple machines in Secondary Science and Physics. It could also serve as a springboard for discussions about inventors and inventions and the history of scientific endeavors. It would be suitable for teachers of middle to senior secondary students in Science (Physical Sciences), History and Materials Technology." (MiniNova)
