Free Theoretical Physics Video Lessons & Resources!November 3rd, 2020
It’s Tuesday, November 3, 2020, and time for Science at ClickSchooling!
Recommended Website: (www.perimeterinstitute.ca/outreach/students/games-and-videos) Age Range: 11-18 (Grades 6-12, with parental supervision)
The Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics of Canada sponsors this website that offers free educational resources for young people to convey the wonder and mystery of the universe and the power of theoretical physics including: Condensed Matter, Cosmology & Gravitation, Particle Physics, Quantum Physics, Superstring Theory, and more. When you get to the website you’ll see a menu of educational resources that includes:
These remarkable presentations are certain to inspire your inner Einstein. Free Science ProjectsAugust 25th, 2020

Recommended Website: (learning-center.homesciencetools.com/science-projects/) Age Range: 5-18 (Grades K-12, with parental supervision)
Today’s website is a bit of a diversion in that the site is a commercial enterprise called “Home Science Tools” that sells all kinds of science kits and curriculum that help students (in Pre-K through high school) explore life science, space, biology, chemistry, physics and more. HOWEVER, they also provide FREE hands-on science ideas that you can try at home. Some of the categories of science projects include:
Some of the experiments include:
Each experiment comes with a materials list and instructions. It also offers suggestions for science kits and products (available from the site’s store) to further learning. This is clever marketing. Again, you don’t have to buy a thing to explore the free resources. Learn Geography Through Earth SciencesApril 14th, 2020
It’s Tuesday, April 14, 2020, and time for Science at ClickSchooling!
Recommended Website: Age Range: 9 and up (Grades 4 and up; children with parental supervision)
This ad-supported website helps kids (of many ages) learn about geography through earth sciences. When you get to the site, read the introduction as it contains good info on where to start and how to navigate for best use. To get started scroll half way down the home page and click on “Next Stop On Site Tour”, or use the menu to explore:
When you are through exploring each section of the site, you can take interactive quizzes to test your knowledge. A bonus feature is that this site provides links to its “sister” sites for further study in the fields of astronomy, biology, chemistry, physics, and math. This is a terrific resource. We recommend you bookmark it to return often. The 60+ Symbols of Astronomy & PhysicsJanuary 28th, 2020
It’s Tuesday, January 28, 2020, and time for Science at ClickSchooling!
Recommended Website: (www.sixtysymbols.com/index.html) Age Range: 6-18 (Grades 1-12, with parental supervision)
This fantastic website offers FREE videos about physics and astronomy featuring experts from The University of Nottingham, who explain the strange letters and squiggles (many more than 60 of them) used by scientists. As explained at the website, “Sixty Symbols is a collection of videos by experts from The University of Nottingham. It’s worth noting many symbols have multiple uses across scientific disciplines and we sometimes tackle them from an unexpected viewpoint.” Here’s some of what you’ll see:
When you get to the site you’ll see the table of Sixty Symbols (and then some). Click on any one and a new page opens where a video launches that explains it. They are wonderfully engaging and educating. [ClickSchooling] TED.com: Agile Aerial RobotsJanuary 14th, 2020
It’s Tuesday, January 14, 2020, and time for Science at ClickSchooling!
Recommended Website: (http://www.ted.com/talks/vijay_kumar_robots_that_fly_and_cooperate.html) Age Range: 9 and up (Grades 4 and up approximately; children with parental supervision)
This is a fascinating and entertaining physics tutorial on the development of tiny, autonomous, agile, aerial robots that have many applications – from being first responders in disaster situations to playing musical instruments. In this 17-minute video filmed for TED.com (TED stands for “Technology, Entertainment & Design”), the speaker is Vijay Kumar from the General Robotics, Automation, Sensing and Perception (GRASP) Lab, at the University of Pennsylvania. He and his students blend computer science and mechanical engineering to create the next generation of robotic wonders. Watch as the flying quadrotor robots fly through hula hoops, work together to build construction projects, provide 3-D imaging of buildings, and even play musical instruments. If this doesn’t get you interested in science, physics, engineering, entertainment, and the possibilities they offer – nothing will.
