In the years that followed World War I, tensions remained between countries due to differing ideologies and belief systems. Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Party quickly rose to prominence and power, and began promoting intolerance towards certain marginalized groups, including the Jewish population. Nazi Germany had alliances with fascist Italy and Japan, and this grouping proved itself a deadly one. Meanwhile, the League of Nations and Allied countries initially acted passively in the face of this threat due to guilt from WWI. In Part 2 of our series on WWII, WatchMojo.com explores how and why the Second World War began. (3:08)

This 3:30 long video interview shows some of the thinking about about evolving robots. The Georgia Tech Mobile Robot Laboratory, led by Dr. Ron Arkin, specializes in intelligent behavior-based control and hybrid software architectures that blend reasoning with simple reflexive behavioral responses. This lab's approach is unique in that they design robotic systems to react and plan and the evolution of robots and robotic "thought" as well as providing examples.

The Hunt for Habitable Planets - Professor Ian Morison discusses one of the hottest topics in astronomy: detecting other solar systems. The methods by which this has been achieved so far have yet to detect an earth-like planet, but already a miniature version of our solar system has been discovered. How do these discoveries affect the prospects for life elsewhere? (06:16)

The instructor has been inspired to do this series because, in his own words:
"During the last few years the education systems in Canada and the United States has been eroding. Students have been crammed into larger class sizes while the quality of teaching has deteriorated, in large part due to a lack of funding from local and federal governments." (05:18)

These magical floating marine creatures, which consist of 90% water, have fascinated people for centuries! Jellyfish are not actually fish, and are scientifically known as Cnidarians. What is truly remarkable about these animals is that they are have no structured organ systems, heart, brain, or breathing apparatus! Yet they move like silent mysterious ghosts in oceans all over the world and survive by stinging and killing prey with their lethal tentacles and digesting them in their stomach cavity that is enclosed in a gelatinous covering called a mesoglea. This is a good teaching resource for a science lesson/unit on oceans and/or sea invertebrates. Content is appropriate for upper elementary and middle school. (1:18)

To observe how winds move high in Earth's atmosphere, scientists sometimes release clouds of barium as tracers to track how the material corkscrews and sweeps around, but scientists have no similar technique to study the turbulent atmosphere of the sun. So researchers were excited in December 2011, when Comet Lovejoy swept right through the sun's corona with its long tail streaming behind it. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) captured images of the comet, showing how its long tail was buffeted by systems around the sun, offering scientists a unique way of observing movement as if they'd orchestrated the experiment themselves. Since comet tails have ionized gases, they are also affected by the sun's magnetic field, and can act as tracers of the complex magnetic system higher up in the atmosphere. Comets can also aid in the study of coronal mass ejections and the solar wind. (03:35)

Imagine that in order to play computer games, listen to music, or talk on the phone, you first had to find a way to generate the electricity to power your electronic devices. Most people in the United States access electricity simply by plugging into a wall outlet or flipping a switch. Their homes are connected to power plants through the electrical grid, an extensive network of cables and wires that carry electrical current. However, whether by choice or by circumstance, some people are detached from this grid. This interactive activity produced for Teachers' Domain presents three such scenarios and challenges users to design systems that will generate electricity by harnessing the wind.
