Do you fuel me?. by Findaway World, LLC.(CARDINAL)345268;
Bio fuels: What do animal dung in Israel and leftover cooking oils in North America have in common? Both are being used as bio fuels for powering industrial equipment and motor vehicles. Combine this with efforts to process coconut oil from Uganda and soy from Argentina and you have the hopeful beginnings for fossil fuel independence.Chemistry: battery technology innovations: The battery has been in use since the early 1800s but the last twenty years has seen the most incredible growth in portable energy storage technology. Today, batteries provide power and on-demand energy to much of our modern high-tech world from the small back-up battery in your computer to units large enough to power cars, trucks and space stations. This program will emphasize lithium-ion technology, as well as innovations in the storage and transfer of energy.Energy: biofuels from plants & algae: Our society has increasing demands for energy and fuel, so scientists are constantly working to increase the reliability and performance of renewable energy technology. A small percentage of renewable energy is created with biofuels. Common examples are ethanol and biodiesel. Ethanol is made from fermenting biomass, such as grasses, wood chips, poplar trees and select agricultural waste. Fermentation is the breakdown of sugar producing alcohol and carbon dioxide. This is the same process that yeasts and bacteria perform in making bread, beer, wine, and some cultured foods. Micro-algae are single-cell, photosynthetic organisms known for their rapid growth and high energy content, and are becoming an increasingly viable source in the production of liquid transportation biofuels. Using the sun's energy, these microorganisms combine carbon dioxide with water, creating biomass more efficiently and rapidly than terrestrial plants. Oil-rich micro-algae strains are capable of producing the feedstock for a number of transportation fuels (biodiesel, "green" diesel, gasoline, and jet fuel) while mitigating the effects of carbon dioxide released from sources such as power plants. This program investigates new technologies at algae facilites, and explains the processes behind their cutting-edge micro-algae to fuel processes.Energy: introduction to the basics: Energy is one of the most fundamental parts of our universe. We use energy to do work. Energy lights our cities. Energy powers our vehicles, trains, planes and rockets. Energy warms our homes, cooks our food, plays our music, gives us pictures on television. Energy from the sun gives us light during the day. Energy is defined as "the ability to do work." When we eat, our bodies transform the energy stored in the food into energy to do work. When we run or walk, we "burn" food energy in our bodies. But where does energy come from? There are many sources of energy. In this program we'll look at the energy that makes our world work. There are eight different forms of energy which are heat, light, sound, chemical, electrical, magnetic, nuclear and mechanical energy.Engineering: fueling a greener planet: Revolutionary changes are taking place in the automobile industry. The standard petroleum gasoline fueled engine has some new competition from gas-electric hybrids, electric vehicles, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, natural gas vehicles and even some automobiles that get some of their power from the Sun.Physics & engineering solar energy: Solar energy--power from the sun--is a vast and inexhaustible resource. In the broadest sense, solar energy supports all life on Earth and is the basis for almost every form of energy we use. This program explains the three primary technologies by which solar energy is commonly harnessed: photovoltaic (PV), which directly convert light to electricity; concentrating solar power (CSP), which uses heat from the sun (thermal energy) to drive utility-scale, electric turbines; and heating and cooling systems, which collect thermal energy to provide hot water and air conditioning.Science & engineering: solar energy: This program demonstrates how the power of the Sun is captured, transferred and stored to provide a multitude of uses. Learn some of the ways we use the sun to heat or cool our homes, provide transportation and make electricity.Ages 8-10.Grades 3-5.

That's purely chemistry!. by Film Ideas (Firm); Findaway World, LLC.(CARDINAL)345268; TMW Media Group.;
The battery has been in use since the early 1800s but the last twenty years has seen the most incredible growth in portable energy storage technology. Today, batteries provide power and on-demand energy to much of our modern high-tech world from the small back-up battery in your computer to units large enough to power cars, trucks and space stations. This program will emphasize lithium-ion technology, as well as innovations in the storage and transfer of energy.Composite materials (also called composition materials or shortened to composites) are materials made from two or more constituent materials with significantly different physical or chemical properties, that when combined, produce a material with characteristics different from the individual components. This is an extremely broad definition that holds true for all composites, however, more recently the term "composite" describes reinforced plastics. This program will explain how composites work and what the future holds for these amazing materials.Metallurgy is the study of the extraction, refining, alloying and fabrication of metals and of their structure and properties. Metallurgy can be described as a sub-set of "materials science"--the study of physical and chemical behavior of metals and alloys. This program discusses metal's role in our control of the environment. Advances in agriculture, warfare, transport, even cookery are impossible without metal, as was the entire Industrial Revolution--from steam to electricity.Chemistry has an impact on every aspect of our daily lives. The most important chemistry reference is the Periodic Table of the Elements. By providing a logical, mathematical method of organization, the table has become a critical tool for students, teachers and scientists around the globe. This program explores the discoveries that led up to the organization of the periodic table and how it is presently organized. It introduces and explores several elements (Hydrogen and Titanium) and their effect on our daily lives and the environments in which they occur.As we continue our history of the Periodic Table organizational system and discovery of the elements, this program examines the elements lithium and beryllium. The characteristics of alkali metals and alkali earth metals are discussed in detail, with the help of graphics and animation demonstrating their similarities and differences. Students will learn why elements are organized into specific groups and their relations to the rows and columns of the periodic table.The periodic table organizes elements by an atomic number, based on the amount of protons in each element's nucleus. Other factors include electron configuration and recurring chemical properties. Elements are listed in order of increasing atomic number along with its chemical symbol in each box. The elements iron, zinc and selenium help promote health and fight disease and have commercial uses. Iron zinc and selenium, which happen to exist naturally, are also referred to as trace minerals because humans need only small amounts of them.The Periodic Table is organized with elements specified in rows, or periods, according to increasing atomic number. Metals are on the left of the periodic table, while nonmetals are located on the right. Some in the middle are called metalloids because they have characteristics of both metals and nonmetals. The periodic table is purposely arranged into vertical classifications called groups. Columns of elements help define element groups. Some of the notable groups of elements include the noble gases (column 18), the halogens (column 17), the alkali metals (column 1) and the alkaline earth metals (column 2). The transition metals are located in the center of the periodic table. They include many of the common metals, such as copper, iron, silver and gold. The two rows below the main body of the table are called the lanthanide and actinide series. They include the very heavy metallic elements, such as uranium and plutonium. This program goes in depth regarding the elements potassium (K) and magnesium (Mg) and their roles in the health of the human body. Potassium helps to control the proper balance of fluids in cells, helps with the contraction of muscles, and is involved in the transmission of chemical messages between nerve cells. Potassium aids in digestion of food, and in the proper function of the eyes. Magnesium is needed for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body. It helps maintain normal muscle and nerve function, keeps heart rhythm steady, supports a healthy immune system, and keeps bones strong.Ages 10+.Grades 5+.
