  • Angular Motion and Torque

    More spinning things! Records, and wheels, and doors, and other fun things. The equations that govern this kind of motion are just like the ones we learned in kinematics, except they have different symbols. Lots of funky Greek letters in this one, folks.

  • Interference, Reflection, and Diffraction

    Light and sound waves do all kinds of cool stuff, because they can be in the same place at the same time, unlike matter. This creates patterns that are important to understand! Let's take a look at interference, reflection, and diffraction.

  • Wave Mechanics

    Surf's up, dudes! Somehow ocean waves got the illustrious honor of being simply called "waves", but there are tons of other kinds of waves, like light and sound. How do they work? We gotta know this stuff! Let's learn about waves together.

  • Andrew Jackson: Founder of the Democratic Party (1829 - 1837)

    President #7 represents a huge shift in American political history. The first six were educated members of the upper class, but Jackson was a commoner, elected on a wave of populist enthusiasm. He was also the founder of the modern Democratic Party. Was he a champion for the common man? Was he just a racist bigot? Was he somewhere in between? Let's get through some details about his life and administration.

  • The Third Law of Thermodynamics: Absolute Zero

    Brr, it's so cold today! Could it get any colder? Is there a coldest possible temperature? Yes, there is! That seems strange, but now we know that temperature is just a measure of kinetic energy, so zero kinetic energy must mean zero temperature! Let's learn more about this winter wonderland of physics as we wrap up our adventures with the laws of thermodynamics.
