Sound, light, heat and even earthquakes travel in waves. Waves are a transfer of energy, and understanding them allows us to better understand the world around us. Students learn about the common characteristics of waves through real-life examples and clearly illustrated graphics. A fun, hands-on activity will help students understand these basic concepts. This program is one of 11 volumes in the Physical Science for Children DVD Series in the Schlessinger Science Library. Part of the Schlessinger Science Library for Children Collection. This title correlates to the National Science Education Standards for Physical Science -- properties of objects and materials, position and motion of objects and light, heat, electricity and magnetism. A Teacher's Guide is included and available online. 23 minutes. Grades K to 4.
Sound, like light, travels in waves. Young students learn about the amazing journey of sound -- from the source that creates the sound to the mechanics of the ear that enable it to be heard. Children discover why sound needs a 'medium' to travel, why there is no sound in space and how certain animals are able to 'see' by using sound! A fun, hands-on activity and clearly illustrated diagrams help students learn these basic concepts.

In All About Solids, Liquids and Gases, young students will be introduced to the three common forms of matter. They'll learn that all things are made up of tiny particles called atoms and that the movement of these particles determines the form that matter takes. In solids, the particles are packed tightly together and move very little. The particles in liquids are more spread out and move faster. In a gas, the particles are spread even farther apart and move even faster. Kids will also discover how matter can change from one form into another when energy is added or taken away. The terms melting point, freezing point and boiling point are introduced and clearly explained. Includes many real-life examples and colorful graphics, along with a fun, hands-on activity that demonstrates how different liquids evaporate at different rates. This program is based on the concepts outlined in the National Science Education Standards for Physical Science: properties of objects and materials, position and motion of objects and light, heat, electricity and magnetism. The program is one of 11 volumes in the Physical Science for Children DVD Series in the Schlessinger Science Library. Part of the Schlessinger Science Library for Children Collection.

Most children know how to describe an object -- by color, size and shape. Here they'll learn that all objects are made of matter and that all matter can be described with basic scientific properties -- mass, weight, volume and density. Each of these properties is described using fun, real-life examples. With clear illustrations and hands-on activities, students will gain a basic understanding of the properties of matter.

Walking on a balance beam or riding a bike both require motion and balance. This program will reveal how unbalanced forces create motion, while balanced forces keep things still. Students also learn how concepts like velocity, acceleration and momentum fit into this puzzle. A unique hands-on activity combined with vivid imagery and graphics will clearly illustrate these concepts to students.

Why does a magnet stick to the refrigerator, but not to the wooden cabinets? This question will be answered as viewers discover what makes something "magnetic." Students learn about positive and negative forces, the North and South Poles, and the basic concepts of why opposites attract. Children find out more about what magnets are used for and in which simple machines they are found. With a hands-on experiment and real-world examples, these concepts are more easily understood.

When we try to move ourselves or other objects, a force is being created -- a push or a pull. Students learn about how forces are involved in everything we do and about the natural force that affects us every minute of every day. How does it help or hinder us in our everyday lives? With clear demonstrations and a fun, hands-on activity, these concepts are more easily understood.

Up, up and away! A hot air balloon, an airplane and even the space shuttle all defy the force of gravity, but they all do it in different ways. Children learn about the basic concepts that make flight possible. With clear demonstrations and a hands-on project, students will be able to understand more easily the basic concepts behind various types of flight.

How different would life be without electricity? Creating and harnessing electricity has become one of the most important factors in the everyday lives of people. Children learn the basics of electrical current -- how it flows and how it can make a circuit -- and take a look at some of the ways it is created. Students will see fun, clear demonstrations to further illustrate these concepts. One of 11 volumes in the Physical Science For Children Video Series in the Schlessinger Science Library.
