The Fosbury FlopWhen Dick Fosbury couldn't compete against the skilled high jumpers at his college, he tried jumping in a different way -- backwards. Fosbury improved his record immediately and continued to amaze the world with his new technique all the way to Olympic gold. Asaf Bar-Yosef explains the physics behind the success of the now dominant Fosbury Flop.

The Story of PhysicsBalls, pendulums, apples and magnets all played their part in the story of modern physics, but then things got weird. And when Albert Einstein combined time and space, things got even weirder - step forward quantum uncertainty, black holes and the Big Bang.

Periodic Table Writer
Write your own text using the chemical elements of the periodic table and download as free PDF or PNG. From your name to anything else you like! A very simple algorithm is used to automatically select symbols: (bath becomes BaTh), add a '|' sign between symbols to force a break: (B|ath becomes BAtH).

Crash Course - ChemistryIf you think chemistry is difficult, confusing and impossible to learn, this is the course for you! Do you want to understand the world you live in? Chemistry can tell us how three tiny particles - the proton, neutron and electron - come together in trillions of combinations to form ... everything - from food and medicine to life and death. Hank Green will not only make you understand chemistry, he will make you love it.

Khan Academy - ChemistryEverything around us is made up of chemicals! Chemistry is the study of matter: its composition, properties, and reactivity. This material roughly covers a first-year high school or college course, and a good understanding of algebra is helpful.
