Assignment Discovery - Elements of Physics (2006)

Elements of Physics: Matter
Investigate the common characteristics of atoms and how they combine to form elements. Learn about electrons, neutrons, and protons, as well as how elements combine into molecules. Includes four segments:
• Atoms: Nature's Building Blocks
• The Ties That Bond
• Number of Neutrons
• Black Holes

Elements of Physics: Motion, Force, and Gravity
When Isaac Newton formulated his three laws of motion, he transformed physics. Examine Newton's theories, the four fundamental forces of the universe, and how Einstein revolutionized the way we understand gravity. Discover how Newton deduced the law of gravity and explained the movement of planets and stars. Includes four segments:
• The Father of Modern Science
• Sir Isaac's Apple
• Einstein's Force
• From Space to Earth

Elements of Physics: Energy and Work
All energy – sound, light, heat – is transmitted as waves. Explore longitudinal and transverse waves and the characteristics they share and examine wave-particle duality, a theory that holds all matter and energy have characteristics of both waves and particles. Includes four segments:
• The Work of Energy
• Energy Around Us
• Behavior and Laws of Energy
• Cars: Energy in Motion
