rhrice3 Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Have any of you used the Teaching Company videos/DVDs for supplementing high school science - i.e. physics, chemistry? Thanks Renee Rice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anne/Ankara Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Yes, we have used them very successfully. I can recommend the Joy of Science series, which is a fabulous introduction to all major branches of science by Robert Hazen. Very nicely done. We also enjoyed the High School Chemistry series, which is a straightforward run-through on how to work the problems in chemistry. Again, we learned a lot and enjoyed it. Another series that we really liked was "Doctors, the History of Scientific Medicine Revealed Through Biography." Very interesting! I have on hand the Biology series (all 78 lectures, oh boy...) but we haven't started that one yet. I had hoped to watch it over the summer, but we'll see.

Moira in MA Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 We used Physics in Your Life successfully for a Grade 9 Conceptual Physics course and will be using Nature of Earth: An Introduction to Geology next year for grades 11 & 9.

NicksMama-Zack's Mama Too Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 We used Physics in Your Life successfully for a Grade 9 Conceptual Physics course and will be using Nature of Earth: An Introduction to Geology next year for grades 11 & 9. HTH Is there a specific edition of Conceptual Physics that goes with this dvd? TIA! K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moira in MA Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 It is keyed to the 9th edition of the college text but I found a copy of that in a local library and cross referenced the chapters to the 2002 high school text we have without difficulty.

Anne/Ankara Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Actually I forgot that we also enjoyed watching the Classical Ideas of Physics, which is also great. This was by Stephen Pollock, who is the same teacher as the Thinkwell Physics lectures. Nicely done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhrice3 Posted June 20, 2008 Author Share Posted June 20, 2008 Ladies, Is this "Physics in Your Life" video better than the "Einstein's Relativity" one? They are both done by Paul Wolfson now from Middlebury. Does anyone have experience with these? Thanks ReneeR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
