We investigate Hooke's Law as we explore the concept of spring potential energy. We also examine how to find this energy mathematically and graphically.

We explore the inner workings of a hydroelectric dam as we learn about the law of conservation of energy. The difference between conservative and non-conservative forces is illustrated and we work through an example problem involving gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy.

We learn how power relates to electrical and mechanical systems. We explore the multiple ways we can express power mathematically by working through an example problem that ties in Newton's second law and kinematic equations to find its solution.

We introduce electricity with overviews of current and static electricity. We discuss electricity's place among the fundamental forces of the universe and discuss how it influences our daily lives.

We explore static electricity as we learn about charging by friction, conduction, and induction.

Explore the saltwater marsh biome with a lesson from K-12 education program specialist, Celeste Rivenbark. The coastal biome is a great example of how climate changes and weather patterns affect the ecosystems around us. Follow along with the help of host Cecil Washington Jr.

Did you know that there are cyclical climate patterns that scientists have followed for over 100,000 years?

Now that we understand the changes that inevitably occur throughout Earth's various biomes, Cecil talks to David Zailo, Research Program Manager at the Georgia Sea Turtle Center, to better understand the stages of succession and the keystone species to look out for when determining the stage of a

It's important to recognize the impact humans have on the environment.

Here to teach us a little bit about clean energy is energy expert Alan Shedd. Follow along as he takes host Raiany Silva on a tour through an active solar farm right here in Georgia. 

Follow host Raiany Silva and Chief Operating Officer, Garnie Nygren, into the new-urban village of Serenbe. This community utilizes emerging technologies such as specialized solar panels, insulation, and even strategic window placement to reach its goal of a "net zero" environmental impact. 

Ecosystems come in all shapes and sizes, from massive mountain ranges to the creek in your own backyard. Learn about the key components to a healthy ecosystem in this segment of Let's Go Enviro.

Have you ever wondered how you can help care for the ecosystems around you? Jump in with Raiany and Mike to test the chemical levels of a Georgia freshwater stream, and learn about the organisms that call it their home.

Now it's time to determine our results! Do you think our freshwater ecosystem is clean and healthy or polluted? Follow Mike and Raiany's deductive reasoning in this episode of Let's Go Enviro.

Why do we refer to air, water, and sunlight as resources? Join host Cecil Washington Jr. and Atlanta food systems expert, Natasha Dyer, to find out in this Let's Go Enviro episode!
