Physics is frequently one of the hardest subjects for students to tackle because it is a combination of two of the toughest subjects for most students - Math and Word Problems. The study of Electricity and Magnetism in Physics is challenging for most students because the concepts usually involve higher math that requires the problems to be fully understood prior to starting work. In addition, the concepts always involve invisible electric and magnetic fields which are hard to visualize for most students. The Physics 3 Tutor begins at the very beginning assuming students have never been exposed to this material and then proceeds to introduce new topics in an easy-to-understand manner.

Will robots replace humans? Revolutionary new machines are being designed and built for the workplace of tomorrow. Along with visiting robotic labs around the world, Innovation Nation explores robot-human psychology and tests out an exo-skeleton, a robot that you can strap on and wear.
What is light? How does it operate? What are its properties? Why is it so important to the foundations of our physical world? The Physics of Light examines the nature of light and how it's harnessed in our lives. The basic properties of light and the wave model are explained, while various applications are demonstrated using these facts. We discuss the concepts of wavelength, frequency, speed, reflection, refraction, total internal reflection and dispersion. We investigate the EMR spectrum, the colour of objects, and the addition and subtraction of colours are explained.

Physics is a science that describes how things work. Almost everything around us can be explained in terms of the principles of physics. With the use of practical demonstrations related to common activities, this program investigates some of the key concepts of physics. Using a drum kit we look at how sound works, how we make it, and how it gets around. We investigate electricity and electromagnetism and compare the similarities between a remote control car and a mobile phone charger. Finally, we take a look at radioactivity and discover a radioactive device that can be found in almost every family home.

Astrophysicist Rachel Webster - a Professor at Melbourne University - reviews key aspects of our current knowledge of the Universe and other topics and concepts that excite students.
Dr Robyn Arianrhod, a writer and mathematician at Monash University takes us on a remarkable journey as she traces the connections between the development of electrodynamics by Faraday and Maxwell, and Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity. Along the way, she looks at the roles both mathematics and experimentation have played in establishing these key areas of modern physics.
Follow the Eco=Kids as they learn the history of Hydroelectric Energy and explore the process of turning the down flow of water into usable energy. Watch our explorers discover the function of the turbine and water level at the hydroelectric dam, as well as the scale of a dam construction.
Join Dr. Knowledge as he takes young viewers on a fast-paced adventure and learn about energy and electricity. Students will observe real-time demonstrations and scientific exploration in a fun and entertaining way.
Inquisitive Minds: Energy and Electricity will show what tools, appliances, factories and everything from iPods to airplanes have in common. Each needs energy to do their jobs. But, where does that energy come from? We know we can get our power from a wall outlet, but that's only the beginning. Dr. "K" and the IM team will trace the electricity from the wall through the "power grid" to its source. Students will learn how power is generated, what makes it travel through wires and learn about the path it takes to get it to where it's needed. How does it work? There's a lot to learn about Energy, come along!
Inquisitive Minds was created to help students develop a better understanding of the connections between the environment and energy and providing thought-provoking discussions that just might lead to energy conservation solutions of their own!
Our world is full of movement, but have you ever stopped to think about how such movement is possible? This Australian-made, curriculum fit program identifies the forces and laws associated with motion and how we can calculate it. Key elements such as force, Newton's law of motion, projectile motion and circular motion are explored from the perspective of a moving car to the movement of balls on a pool table. This unique way of seeing the laws of motion in action is informative as well as entertaining and will enhance the understanding of movement with real world situations and scenarios.

This program teaches by examples how to perform unit conversions involving mass and weight. Students are taught how to recognize when a unit needs to be converted, how to write down the conversion and how to perform the math steps necessary to convert from one unit to another. Conversions between the metric system and the English system are covered in detail.
