SHOW ME SCIENCE ADVANCED - CHEMISTRY & PHYSICS: CHEMISTRY - PERIODIC TABLE PART IV - IRON, ZINC, SELENIUM

The periodic table organizes elements by an atomic number, based on the amount of protons in each elements nucleus. Other factors include electron configuration and recurring chemical properties. Elements are listed in order of increasing atomic number along with its chemical symbol in each box. The elements iron, zinc and selenium help promote health and fight disease and have commercial uses. Iron zinc and selenium, which happen to exist naturally, are also referred to as trace minerals because humans need only small amounts of them.

SHOW ME SCIENCE ADVANCED - PHYSICAL SCIENCE: BIOLOGY & CHEMISTRY - THE SCIENCE OF FORENSICS

Anthropometry is the science that defines physical measures of a persons size, form, and functional capacities. Forensic science (often shortened to forensics) is the practical application of science to matters of the law. In criminal law, forensics science can help prove the guilt or innocence of the defendant. In civil actions, forensics can help resolve a broad spectrum of legal issues through the identification, analysis and evaluation of physical evidence. This program will discuss how new innovations and discoveries in forensic technology have important scientific applications beyond law.

SHOW ME SCIENCE ADVANCED - PSYCHOLOGY: NEUROSCIENCE - THE BRAIN UNDERSTOOD

The human brain could easily be called the most mysterious yet fascinating organ in the human body and is without question one of the most complex creations present in our known universe. This program illustrates how the brain performs a number of tasks we take for granted including how it controls body temperature, blood pressure, heart rate and breathing; how it accepts and deciphers an incredibly vast amount of information about the world around us from our various senses as well as how our brains subconsciously deal with fear and danger.

SHOW ME SCIENCE ADVANCED - TECHNOLOGY: CHEMICAL ENGINEERING COMPOSITES

Composite materials (also called composition materials or shortened to composites) are materials made from two or more constituent materials with significantly different physical or chemical properties, that when combined, produce a material with characteristics different from the individual components. This is an extremely broad definition that holds true for all composites, however, more recently the term "composite" describes reinforced plastics. This program will explain how composites work and what the future holds for these amazing materials.

SHOW ME SCIENCE ADVANCED - TECHNOLOGY: CHEMISTRY METALLURGY

Metallurgy is the study of the extraction, refining, alloying and fabrication of metals and of their structure and properties. Metallurgy can be described as a sub-set of materials science? - the study of physical and chemical behavior of metals and alloys. This program discusses metals role in our control of the environment. Advances in agriculture, warfare, transport, even cookery are impossible without metal, as was the entire Industrial Revolution - from steam to electricity.

SHOW ME SCIENCE ADVANCED - TECHNOLOGY: COMPUTER SCIENCE - THE IMPACT OF COMPUTERS

Perhaps no invention has impacted our everyday lives more than the computer. Computers have transformed the fields of sci- ence, medicine, education, entertainment and research, to name a few. In fact, it's hard to think of any area of our everyday lives that has not been affected by computer technology. Computers have become an indispensable part of our lives. A computer is made up of Hardware, the machine, the hard drive, the boards and chips, which take instructions from Software - or applications. The result is a completed task, or epic graphics in a game or pin-point accuracy in a robot assisted medical procedure. From a steam-driven prototype developed in the early 1800s, to the first computer built in 1941, which could process 29 equations simultaneously, to the microprocessor developed by Intel - the evolution of the computer is amazing. The first computers, developed in the mid 1940s took up an entire room. Today the microprocessor, smaller than a fingernail, delivers immense computng capabilities to run today's applications.
