In addition to covering all topics in the basic version of Nuclear Energy, this program covers a number of advanced topics. Understand the use of water to vary reactor power, as well as different methods of mining uranium and witness a specific example of a fission reaction. Students will be introduced to more detailed discussion of enrichment, including structure properties of Uranium Hexafluoride, centrifuging, gas diffusion and the decommissioning of nuclear power stations. Includes sequences designed for student enrichment and teacher background (breeder reactors, fusion and fusion reactors, fission).
Grade levels: Senior High (10-12)

Nuclear Energy: Basic Version – Imperial
Introduces the basics of how a nuclear power station works. What is fission and the role of cooling water in nuclear reactors? Understand the nuclear fuel cycle: mining, milling, enrichment, fabrication and spent fuel (storage and reprocessing). Also discover other uses of nuclear energy, including ‘non-power’ uses. Includes sequences designed for student enrichment/ teacher background (breeder reactors, fusion and fusion reactors, and fission).

Measurement and the Search for Relationships
Learn how mathematical relationships can be investigated experimentally and how to write the report. This program uses case studies to show how the physical world can be described by mathematical relationships. It specifically demonstrates how an experiment can be designed to test the effect of two independent variables and how mathematical formulae can be derived from experimental measurements. This program also outlines how to prepare a report for an experiment. Program chapters include: (intro, investigation, effect on T of mass, effect on t of oscillation amplitude, measuring spring stiffness, effect on T of spring stiffness and the search for a constant).

Yawanawa – Joaquin Phoenix
In 4REAL Yawanawan host Sol Guy takes Academy Award-nominated actor Joaquin Phoenix into the heart of the Amazon Rainforest to meet Indigenous leaders Chief Tashka and Laura Yawanawa. Tashka and Laura’s fight for their land, focus on their economy and commitment to traditions have empowered the Yawanawa and brought them back from the brink of cultural extinction. Sol and Joaquin journey on single-engine planes and tiny boats deep into the Brazilian Amazon where they learn about the importance of the rainforest, and traditions and history of the vibrant Yawanawa community. Includes Educational Guide. Themes explored in Guide: Cultural Diversity, Deforestation, Corporate Social Responsibility, and Leadership.

All About Muscles
Within the human body there are more than 600 individual muscles. Without them you could not walk, talk or smile. But more so your heart would not beat and you wouldn’t breathe. This program explores the main functions of our muscles as well as looking at the major muscles, their types and how we control them.

Nutrition In An Aged Care Environment
Consuming a healthy and well balanced diet is just as important for the elderly as with any other age group. For elderly people who can no longer look after themselves, it is of vital importance that adequate meals are provided that will meet the nutritional requirements of this age group. This video aims to provide Aged Care Workers with useful information relating to nutrient needs and food sources, portion size and meal frequency and strategies for getting older people to eat.

Protecting The Vulnerable – Identifying and Responding to Elder Abuse
Elder abuse is a largely hidden problem. As the proportion of elderly people requiring care increases, it is critical that families, friends, carers and aged care staff are educated to understand the different forms elder abuse can take, and what they can do about it. It is also vital that governments, peak bodies and the aged care industry creates and works within a solid legislative framework that properly deals with this insidious problem in society, ensuring perpetrators are appropriately punished, rehabilitated and that vulnerable elderly people are totally protected from violation of their rights. This program provides an overview of elder abuse, including physical, sexual, financial and psychological abuse and neglect. It also looks at strategies to protect vulnerable elderly people, and appropriate responses to elder abuse.

A Marriage of Convenience – Sport and the Media
Sport and the media – is sport over-represented, or appropriately represented in the media? Does media coverage of sport have a positive or negative influence on our physical activity levels? Television, radio, newspapers, internet – sport has permeated culture here and abroad. All of this coverage of sport provides an excellent exposure of sport and the benefits of physical activity. This extensive coverage by the media of sport is promoting positive fitness attitudes and providing young and old alike with role models. But what of the negative aspects of media and sport? Trim and terrific bodies, violence, limited coverage of women’s sports and minor sports. Is it about selling a brand or encouraging physical fitness?
