This short video gives excellent real life footage of a mother American Black Bear and her two cubs living in their dens. Students can see close ups of the 2 cubs playing with each other and nursing on Mom. There is also a quick thermal imaging picture that shows hibernation heat loss patterns. This is a good resource to help build background knowledge and to help make real world connections between nature and the classroom. (Less Than 2 Minutes)

In this interactive activity adapted from the University of Nebraska's Library of Crop Technologies, learn the basic steps of polymerase chain reaction (PCR), a technique used to produce short sections of DNA for analysis. In this technique, various components are combined in a microfuge tube and heated in a thermal cycler. The activity details the process, which results in thousands of identical copies of a DNA fragment. Note: The activity provides a simulation of the process. The characterizations of depicted components and their behaviors should not be taken literally.

Hurricanes are some of the most powerful and destructive weather events on Earth. To help study these powerful storms, NASA is launching TROPICS (Time-Resolved Observations of Precipitation structure and storm Intensity with a Constellation of Smallsats), a collection of six small satellites designed to measure storm strength by detecting the thermal radiation naturally emitted by the oxygen and water vapor in the air.

Animation has been added to the song "Kinetic and Potential Energy" by Tom Glazer and Dottie Evans from the Singing Science Records. This simple, catchy song will help students remember the difference between kinetic and potential energy. Examples of both are included throughout the song/video. Lyrics are provided on the screen and include, "The rolling boulder crasing down the mountain, that's kinetic energy. The boulder sitting high upon the mountain, that's potential energy. Energy in motion is kinetic. Energy that is waiting is potential. But whether it's kinetic or potential, both of them are energy!" Examples of gravitational, elastic, heat, and chemical energy are illustrated but not specifically mentioned in the song. (01:55)

In this program, participants are shown that light energy that has been absorbed by plants during photosynthesis and transformed into chemical energy can now be transferred to other organisms. Energy is contained within food molecules such as sugar and starch made by plants, therefore when animals eat plants, or eat other animals, the energy is passed to them. However, the transfer of energy between plants and animals is inefficient and there are energy losses.

Energy can be seen in cycles every day, from the bouncing of balls to the swinging of pendulums. In this session, further explore the relationship between kinetic and potential energy to understand how cycles begin and are sustained, and why they decay.

Change happens when energy is transferred or converted. In this session, examine conversion between potential and kinetic energy. Through examples, see how events that involve a small amount of energy can trigger much larger events.

Interviews about energy with children, scientists, and people on the street reveal the wide range of concepts that teachers encounter. In this session, you will look at the differences between the everyday language of energy and the scientific concept, see highlights of its history, and learn its importance in our understanding of the world.

This song provides an overview of the Law of Conservation of Energy. It covers potential energy and kinetic energy as the two main types and the song provides examples of each type. Mr. Edmonds uses visuals as he sings. This is a great resource to work in conjunction with a lesson/unit/test prep on these subjects. Middle school and high school students will enjoy this catchy tune. (03:05)

Global energy use increases by the day. Polluting the atmosphere with ever more carbon dioxide is not a viable solution for our future energy needs. Can new technologies such as carbon sequestration and ethanol production help provide the energy we need without pushing the concentrations of CO2 to dangerous levels?

Imagine the most complicated process you could go through to simply pour a glass of milk. Then multiply that by 10. The image in your mind is probably approaching the level of complexity the ZOOM cast members achieved with their milk-pouring machine. Watch as they demonstrate all 34 steps in this video segment adapted from ZOOM. This would be a great addition to a lesson on transfer of energy or types of potential energy. There are several examples of gravitational energy as well as elastic energy (in the stretched balloons), chemical energy (in the battery, electrical connection, and vinegar/soda reaction), and wind energy (in the fans). You might have students shout out which type of energy is involved at the various points of the demonstration. Closed captioning included. (05:05)

Every year that the world continues to rely on non-renewable fossil fuels for our energy needs brings us closer to needing alternatives. This video segment produced for Teachers' Domain identifies some current and future alternatives and describes some of the benefits and limitations inherent in each. The video could also be used for a lesson on transfer of energy. Closed captioning included. Run time 06:09.
