This is like Bill Nye & Bell Science on steroids. The DVD set sells NEW for $ 800  Explained in simple language, yet the viewer is asked to use his knowledge of physics to solve complex equations. This makes this set enjoyable for an 8 year old to watch and grasp some of it, yet advanced enough to challenge senior level college students with the problem presented in many of the physics concepts illustrated. Purchased used at a school auction, they have minor surface scratches without cases but have been play tested and come with a money back guarantee against playback defects for buyers in the 48 U.S. states. Physics Cinema Classics produced by the AAPT (American Association of Physics Teachers) Provides immediate access to almost 2,000 still images and video segments comprising a compilation of over 245 "classic" physics experiments from over one hundred sources.

(Effective use of the audio channels is explained in the Introduction Section of the Directory described above.) There are also written questions posed on many of the still frames on the DVD. The complete narrative of all questions along with answers to the questions posed in the audio and/or on the still images are included in this section.   3. TEACHER'S GUIDE A lesson has been prepared for each of the 245 lessons on the DVDs. Each lesson includes: 1. Concepts, 2. Description, 3. Teacher Information, 4. Classroom Activities and 5. Answer Sheets and Student Worksheets. The lessons may be used as prepared, or they may be copied into your word processor and modified as you wish. The lessons are organized in the same sequence as the Directory.   4. NATIONAL STANDARDS CROSS-REFERENCE   A listing of the lessons in the Teacher's Guide is cross-referenced to potentially applicable Content Standard(s) for Physical Science from the National Science Education Standards for both grade levels 5-8 and 9-12. The text of the National Standard(s) to which the lesson in the Teacher's Guide may be relevant is displayed when you click the title of the lesson. Your institution's policy may or may not agree with the reference in this section of the CD-ROM and this section should be considered informational rather than authoritative.   5. REFERENCE MATERIALS This section includes tables and summaries frequently used in teaching physical science or physics courses. You may wish to print these sections for your students. Topics covered are: Greek Alphabet, Scientific Notation, Metric Multipliers, SI Units, Significant Digits, Unit Conversions, Fundamental Constants, and Graphing Data.   6. PHYSICS TEXTBOOKS CROSS-REFERENCE Lessons on P:CC are cross-referenced to the appropriate section of many popular high school physics textbooks. This is provided to assist you in determining the extent to which you may incorporate P:CC into your curriculum with your particular textbook.   7. PHYSICAL SCIENCE TEXTBOOKS CROSS-REFERENCE & GUIDE This section is in the same format as the High School Physics Textbooks Cross-Reference. It also includes hints for using P:CC in Physical Science courses. Physical Science teachers will find a significant percentage of the P:CC lessons adaptable to their classes.     THE STORY OF Physics Cinema Classics  In the late 1980s, members of the American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT) conceived the idea of collecting the classic physics films which had been used successfully by thousands of teachers for decades. Physical science 8mm film loops and 16mm films were no longer being produced and the ones which were still in schools were becoming difficult to use because of deterioration of the films and viewing equipment. These classic films contained a wealth of physics demonstrations and lab experiments. The AAPT members saw the need to preserve the best of a valuable national educational resource by retrieving the most relevant excerpts from these films and transferring them to a videodisc collection. A grant request was approved by the U.S. Department of Education for funding a National Interactive Media Project for Secondary Physical Science Courses (award number R168D90059). The objectives of the project included identifying the physical science film sources, and obtaining the rights to edit the films to produce a comprehensive collection of physical science demonstrations and lab experiments on laser videodisc. Professor Robert Fuller of the University of Nebraska at Lincoln was the project leader. Software and ancillary print material would supplement the videodiscs. The videodiscs could be used in secondary education, introductory college courses and advanced middle school courses. Instead of the frequently used linear presentation, the videodiscs were designed to include many succinct vignettes and slides showing demonstrations and lab experiments which otherwise would not be economical for many schools. And most importantly, the videodiscs were designed to support the teacher who wished to have a highly interactive physics classroom to help motivate today's visual learners. The Physics: CINEMA CLASSICS (P:CC) project was begun in September of 1989 and directed from the AAPT's Instructional Materials Center at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Kalamazoo College also played a major role in the P:CC project. Project oversight was provided by the AAPT's Committee on Physics in High Schools. In addition, numerous prominent secondary school physical science educators consulted on P:CC. During 1990, film was reviewed and selected. Seven contributors made films available for P:CC: Encyclopaedia Britannica Educational Corporation, Educational Development Corporation, McGraw-Hill, Inc., Newton's Apple, North American Philips Corporation, Phoenix Films and Video Inc. and Visual Almanac from Apple Computer, Inc. The collective investment in the development of these source films was many millions of dollars and spanned several decades. Hundreds of high school teachers from around the nation participated in evaluating P:CC throughout its development. Extensive teacher evaluations and revisions were conducted during 1991. The most common format was teacher workshops coordinated through Kalamazoo College. In the spring of 1992 a pre-commercial release of P:CC was made available for purchase by AAPT members. Additional evaluations of the P:CC pre-release version were obtained over the summer and fall of 1992. Enhancements were finalized in early 1993 and the commercial version was approved for release in the spring of 1993. P:CC includes three double-sided videodiscs providing immediate access to almost 2,000 still images and video segments comprising a compilation of over 245 "classic" physics experiments from over one hundred sources. The video and still images are accompanied by instructor's hints and two separate audio channels: an inquiry track and an explanation track. Experiments can be accessed using the videodisc player remote control, a bar code reader and the bar code directory (included on the accompanying CD-ROM), or computer software (either Macintosh or IBM/compatible) that is sold separately. The videodisc is accompanied by a CD-ROM of Ancillary Materials that includes a comprehensive Teacher's Guide along with other useful teaching references such as: Bar Code Directory--With bar codes to each of the 245 experiments.; Narrative and Answers to Questions--complete audio script along with answers to questions; Comprehensive Teacher's Guide--with over 2,000 pages of lessons that include concepts, descriptions, teacher information, classroom activities and answer sheets; National Standards--cross reference the lessons on the CD-ROM to the National Science Education Standards applicable standards. Reference Materials--Unit Conversions, Fundamental Constants, SI Units, etc.; Physics Textbooks Cross-reference--popular high school physics textbooks cross referenced to lessons. Physical Science Textbooks Cross-reference & Guide--popular physical science textbooks cross-referenced to lessons along with a Guide for using P:CC in Physical Science courses. The Teacher's Guide that accompanies Physics: CINEMA CLASSICS was developed over three years (1993-'95) with funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Instructional Materials Development Program (award number ESI-925253). The development of other ancillary materials on the CD-ROM was funded in part by grants from the NSF Small Business Innovation Research Program and the Kentucky Cabinet for Economic Development. The Teacher's Guide was prepared by a writing team of over 25 experienced high school physics teachers and editors. The writing team was led by Professor David M. Winch of the Kalamazoo College Science Department. Auction for DVDs only, other items are for display purposes only.
