We live in a world of waves. The Earth shakes to its foundations, the seas and oceans tremble incessantly, sounds reverberate through land, sea, and air. Beneath the skin, our brains and bodies are awash with waves of their own, and the Universe is filled by a vast spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, of which visible light is the narrowest sliver. Considering the main kinds of wave, their sources, effects, and uses, Mike Goldsmith discusses how...

Describes some of the important concepts relating to gravity, including centers of gravity and centripetal force, through a variety of experiments.

"Structures fail mainly due to material failure or because of structural instability. An understanding of structural stability is a special branch of engineering mechanics of importance to structural engineers whose job is to design safe structures. In a structure, a small change in load could cause a large change in displacement. If the change in displacement is large enough, instability could lead to a total collapse of the entire structure. The...

Tom Thomas doesn't know how to get a bothersome bee out of the kitchen. Simka and Nolik get the bee safely outside without it stinging Tom Thomas, Chewsocka, or them. Pleaese preview this video as it models children playing near an open window, which is very dangerous. It also shows Tom standing on a table trying to get the bee out of the house. It should be emphasized to students that these animated characters have different consequences from humans....

A guide to the application of viscoelastic damping materials to control vibration and noise of structures, machinery, and vehicles Active and Passive Vibration Damping is a practical guide to the application of passive as well as actively treated viscoelastic damping materials to control vibration and noise of structures, machinery and vehicles. The author-a noted expert on the topic-presents the basic principles and reviews the potential applications...

The use of tools, equipment, and instruments in science and engineering is vital to acquiring data. Students will learn how and why tools are helpful in science. Concrete examples of common, everyday tools help teach key concepts and use of tools in science.

Simka and Nolik enlist the help of their Fixie School classmates to beat Tom Thomas in a game of table hockey, but to win they must learn to work together as a team.

This text offers practice on topics such as orthogonal triad of unit vectors, dot or scalar product, resultant of distributed force system, noncoplanar force systems, slope of the Shear diagram, and slope of the Moment diagram. Resource added for the Manufacturing Engineering program 106233 and Manufacturing Operations Management program 101965.{u200B}

A curriculum friendly resource that is aligned to National Science Standards presents a wide range of scientific topics to elementary and middle school students. In the first ten episodes, students blast off with the crew of RealTime Science Connections (RTSC), with a mission to orbit the earth while learning about space exploration, the human body, the ocean depths and much more. In the final eight episodes, The Magellan Adventures, the crew and...
