In The Go Jetters' Hydroelectric Adventure at Niagara Falls, the Go Jetters crew goes on an adventure to the incredible Niagara Falls. This huge waterfall isn’t just beautiful — it helps make electricity too! Watch how the fast-flowing water spins a giant wheel to turn water power into electric power, helping both the United States and Canada stay powered up! This video is excerpted from BBC’s Go Jetters, a series that follows the adventures of four plucky international heroes as they travel the globe visiting the world’s most famous landmarks with their friend and mentor, Ubercorn, a disco-dancing unicorn.
In The Role of One Rudimentary Battery in Transforming the World, narrator Michael Mosley uncovers the story of the first battery. It begins with a letter in 1800 with simple instructions from Italian scientist Alessandro Volta on how to make an artificial torpedo fish, and ends in a classroom where Hans Christian Oersted took it one step further, noticing how the battery current created magnetic fields. The electric telegraph and using steam power weren’t far behind, transforming the world as we knew it. This video is excerpted from BBC's The Story of Science, in which Michael Mosley takes an informative and ambitious journey exploring how the evolution of scientific understanding is intimately interwoven with society's historical path.
In Whoosh! Using the Wind, Ranger Hamza and the Ramblers explore a garden. Tag along as they see how the wind helps dry clothes and move a windmill and learn how the wind can help us use less electricity. This video is excerpted from BBC's Ranger Hamza’s Eco Quest, a nature exploration show in which Ranger Hamza and the Ramblers go on quests to discover nature’s wonders and the important role they play in our environment.
Discover the beauty of Canada! Take your class on a thrilling journey through Canada’s waterfalls, forests, and frozen wilds with this BBC playlist. From beluga whales to meteor strikes and snowy adventures, these clips bring science and geography to life — no parka required!
In Nightfall on the Coral Reef, narrator Sir David Attenborough explains how animals survive on the coral reef at night. Watch how manta rays hunt at night. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Blue Planet, a definitive documentary series diving into the mysterious depths of the sea to discover the natural history of the world’s oceans and the rarely seen marine life that reside there.
In The Go Jetters Witness Windmills and Water Wonders in the Netherlands, the Go Jetters crew explores a historic windmill during National Mill Day in the Netherlands. Ubercorn shares funky facts about how the Netherlands manages its low-lying landscape using pumps and drainage systems. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Go Jetters, a series that follows the adventures of four international heroes as they travel the globe visiting landmarks and solving environmental problems with Ubercorn, a disco-dancing unicorn.
In The Power of Electric Machines, presenter and motorbike racer Grace Webb examines three machines powered by electricity. From a very quiet motocross bike to a solar-powered car (and even an electric hackney carriage taxi!), discover the power of electric vehicles. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Grace’s Amazing Machines, a children’s show that introduces kids to some of the biggest, fastest, and most amazing machines in the world.
In Witness the Thin Blue Line, Professor Brian Cox experiences a vertical take-off on the English Electric Lightning, which travels 11 miles into the upper edge of Earth’s atmosphere, where the atmosphere appears as a delicate "thin blue line" separating Earth from space. As the aircraft soars to the edge of space, gain a new perspective on the vital role of Earth’s atmosphere in sustaining life and protecting against the harshness of space. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Wonders of the Solar System, a spellbinding documentary series that explores the most extreme locations on Earth to explain how the laws of physics carved natural wonders across the Solar System.
In Off-Roading on the E-Spider, presenter and motorbike racer Grace Webb explains the unique features of this electric vehicle. With its unique design, the E-Spider can cover all sorts of terrain without flipping over. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Grace’s Amazing Machines, a children’s show that introduces kids to some of the biggest, fastest, and most amazing machines in the world.
A group of people at the Weald & Downland Living Museum have committed to living as if it’s 1461, without central heat, electricity, or phones.
