Pressure II, Segment 1: Show Opener

The newest episode of EveryDay Science is showing up in podcasts now! Pressure II – it’s a reimagining of the concept we explored in our first episode ever (titled, well… Pressure). Differences in pressure help you to drink from a straw, help your balloon to float, and help planes to soar in the sky.
Let’s start with some things to think about — some questions to ponder while we get ready to watch each segment. Where does pressure come from? How can it be changed? How exactly do these pressure differences cause the effects we’ve listed? All of this and more will be explored in the newest EveryDay Science episode, Pressure II.

NOS Final Segment: Black Holes

Often the most interesting scientific questions are the ones which are hardest to test. The challenge is to, like Albert Einstein, be very creative in the ways that we try to answer them. One such question is this: what lies beyond the event horizon of a black hole? (Think of the event horizon as the boundary of a black hole.) It’s an interesting question, because we can’t go into a black hole, and nothing within a black hole can come out. How can we think creatively to answer it?

Podcast Ready! What Makes Science, Science? (NOS 8)

We’ve seen science in action: we ask questions and we perform experiments to answer them. But there’s more to it: it’s a process with guidelines. Let’s see what scientists at Colorado State University have to say about the process.

A new episode is here! NOS Segment 4: Hot and Cold Spots

Microwaves bounce back and forth as, well, waves. Depending on the size of the wave, some spots are hot and some are cold. This is why most microwave ovens have turntables — the heat is more evenly spread out. How can Brian, Sierra and Mary show that this is what’s happening inside the microwave? It’s time for another experiment!
