Thermal Conduction - Episode 19

Dr. Carlson's Science Theater

12/19/06 • -1 min

Ever boil water in a paper cup? The power of fire and flames is harnessed to explain how heat can move around in:

Science Theater Episode 19: Thermal Conduction

Fun with a Vacuum - Episode 15

Dr. Carlson's Science Theater

10/10/06 • -1 min

If you have an empty jar, is it really empty? Take all the air out of it and you have a vacuum. When the pressure drops due to a vacuum, everything begins to behave in strange ways. Watch and see!

Inertia, Newton's First Law - Episode 14

Dr. Carlson's Science Theater

10/10/06 • -1 min

If you want to move it, you have to push it! Things don't change their movement on their own, and scientists often call this the Law of Inertia. Watch as Dr. Carlson shows off an amazing series of demonstrations where things don't move!

Science Theater Episode 14: Inertia - Newton's 1st Law

Newton's Third Law - Episode 9

Dr. Carlson's Science Theater

10/10/06 • -1 min

How can a rocket engine lift itself off the ground? Push a wall and you will be pushed back. Newton's Third Law of Motion states that every force has an equal force applied in the opposite direction. If air, trapped in a fire extinguisher, is "thrown" backwards by releasing it, Dr. Carlson can be pushed forward by the blast - his very own jet-car!

Science Theater Episode 9: Equal and Opposite Force

Entropy - Episode 39

Dr. Carlson's Science Theater

06/22/10 • -1 min

Entropy. It's why everything seems to break down and get messy. It is something that comes about when you have lots and lots of little things (like atoms) that can be in several possible "states" (no, not Florida). The more things or more states you have, the more entropy you're going to have. Dr. Carlson has entirely too much fun playing with coins and blocks while he tries to explain how Chemists think of Entropy. (Stay to the end and you'll even see a rubber band, whee!)

Science Theater Episode 39: Entropy

Walking on Water - Episode 38

Dr. Carlson's Science Theater

01/16/09 • -1 min

Winter is in the air, and it's cold out on the lake making it pretty easy to walk on water. Dr. Carlson visits his parents and takes time out to explain some cool science concepts that can occur when your lake freezes over. That's right, Dr. Carlson freezes his tooshie, just so you can expand your mind!

Science Theater Episode 38: Walking on Water

Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle - Episode 37

Dr. Carlson's Science Theater

12/24/08 • -1 min

Physics tells us that you can't know exactly where you are and where you are going at the same time! Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle explains that you can't measure a particle's exact velocity and location, Dr. Carlson takes on the challenge of explaining it all in this special, third anniversary, episode of...

Science Theater Episode 37:Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle

A Particle Experiment - Episode 36

Dr. Carlson's Science Theater

10/19/08 • -1 min

Pity the poor high energy particle physicists. In order to perform an experiment, they have to destroy whatever they're looking at. Dr. Carlson explains how experiments on tiny particles are tricky. It's not easy to run experiments on things that are smaller than your tools.

Science Theater Episode 36:A Particle Experiment

Quantum Mechanics - Episode 35

Dr. Carlson's Science Theater

05/07/08 • -1 min

Can you change reality just by looking at it? Dr. Carlson says no! Watch on to see just what we mean when scientists talk about observers determining reality in this down-to-earth explanation of Quantum Mechanics.

Science Theater Episode 35: Quantum Mechanics

Motion in Two Dimensions - Episode 21

Dr. Carlson's Science Theater

04/04/07 • -1 min

If you can drop it, you can throw it. Dr. Carlson throws stuff around to show how projectiles fall. (Also known as 2-dimensional motion)
