This program covers the important topic of refrigerators in Physics. We begin by discussing how refrigerators are just “heat engines” operated in reverse because they require energy to pump heat away from an object. The entire lesson is taught by working example problems beginning with the easier ones and gradually progressing to the harder problems. Emphasis is placed on giving students confidence in their skills by gradual repetition so that...

Physics is frequently one of the hardest subjects for students to tackle because it is a combination of two of the toughest subjects for most students: Math and Word Problems. What sets this series apart from other physics teaching tools is that the concepts are taught entirely through step-by step example problems of increasing difficulty. It works by introducing each new concept in an easy to understand way and using example problems that are worked...

Logic is intellectual self-defense against such assaults on reason and also a method of quality control for checking the validity of your own views. But beyond these very practical benefits, informal logic—the kind we apply in daily life—is the gateway to an elegant and fascinating branch of philosophy known as formal logic, which is philosophy’s equivalent to calculus. Formal logic is a breathtakingly versatile tool. Much like a Swiss army...

We commonly define the Pythagorean theorem using the formula a2 + b2 = c2. But Pythagoras himself would have been confused by that. Explore how this famous theorem can be explained using common geometric shapes (no fancy algebra required), and how it’s a critical foundation for the rest of geometry.

Contemporary advertising seldom demonstrates why one brand is superior, or constructs logical arguments to sway buyers. Advertisers today position instead of persuade. Position refers to a place the product occupies in the consumer's mind. Nobody likes to be told how to think, but few notice when told how to see. Explore perceptual mapping, market segmentation, the use of emotion and magic, social approval, positioning against the competition, re-positioning,...

The most important words in advertising are the ones you don't see or hear. Why Ads Work proposes that ads rarely lie, they merely allow plenty of room for self-deception. Ads use humor, drama, and entertainment because people being humored and entertained are not critical - they "suspend their disbelief." In short, they become the perfect consumer.. Why Ads Work will help your students reclaim their critical powers. Think of this video as a re-training...

This program covers the important topic of conservation of energy (part 1) in simple harmonic motion in Physics. We begin by discussing how in a perfect system energy is neither created nor destroyed. As the object swings, the energy is continually transferred from kinetic to potential forms and vice versa. The entire lesson is taught by working example problems beginning with the easier ones and gradually progressing to the harder problems. Emphasis...
