9 Good Collections of Videos for Education

Ask a Tech Teacher

Topics include languages, music, technology, social studies, science, engineering, maths, journalism, and more. Bright Science is a free YouTube channel of over 1300 study videos for high schoolers (or precocious middle schoolers). They are sortable by grade level and/or subject and can be adapted to four different UK languages.

Are there ‘rules’ for conveying emotion through art?

Futurum

However, the skills learnt from subjects such as mathematics and physics are everlasting and applicable to many different fields. I was fascinated by the physical processes that underlie information processing, so studied physics and computer science initially. Most researchers love to talk about their work.

How can intelligent systems revolutionise healthcare?

Futurum

Dr Narges Armanfard, from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at McGill University and Mila Quebec AI Institute in Montreal, has established iSMART Lab to develop new healthcare technologies. In 1950, the United Nations estimated that there were 23,000 people around the world who were over the age of 100.

How Did We Get Here? The Tangled History of the Second Law of Thermodynamics

Stephen Wolfram

But by the end of the 1800s, with the existence of molecules increasingly firmly established, the Second Law began to often be treated as an almost-mathematically-proven necessary law of physics. The theory of heat will hereafter form one of the most important branches of general physics.

Numbers and networks: how can we use mathematics to assess the resilience of global supply chains?

Futurum

For example, as transportation networks play a key role in moving goods and materials from suppliers to customers, Zach hopes to integrate models of global transportation networks into his models of global supply chain networks. I took a physics class in high school and thought that might be a good application for my interests.

How Inevitable Is the Concept of Numbers?

Stephen Wolfram

The history of physics might make one think that numbers would be a necessary part of the structure of any fundamental theory of our physical universe. But the models of physics suggested by our Physics Project have no intrinsic reference to numbers. We discussed above the example of fundamental physics.
