Demonstrates by experiments in a water tunnel the connection between velocity and pressure fields in diffusers, venturis and channel bends. Considers coanda effect, bernoulli's integral, pitot tubes, cavitation, a shear layer and a rotating fluid. Traces the rise of the primates. Examines the anatomical changes, the beginnings of sociality and speech, the more complex brain, the semi-erect posture, and other human-like characteristics.

MIT Professor John G. King performs an experiment in which light exhibits both particle and wave characteristics. He uses a very dim light source, a double slit, and a photomultiplier in such a way that less than one photon is in the apparatus at any given time. King points out that the characteristic interference pattern is pointed out by many individual photons hitting at places consistent with the interference pattern, and discusses the implications of this action.

Janet Hill teaches Computer Technology and Accounting classes at Antelope Union High, a small school of 250 students, near Yuma. In this episode Janet talks about the kind of “customer service” good teachers need to provide to students, parents, and the community. She also shares a story about a student who reminds her a lot of Rudy (from the 1993 movie RUDY). Janet thinks there is at least one Rudy in every classroom and it’s up to good teachers to find and nurture them.

Lance gives a lot of credit to Mrs. Aston, a 6th grade teacher who helped him look beyond his hearing impediment and use his natural grit and determination to succeed when others might easily quit. He also has a message for teachers who may occasionally wonder if they are really making a difference the...
