The Fascinating Body:
How It Works
“The Fascinating Body does not contain a lot of microscopic detail or sophisticated chemistry, not because they aren’t important, but because they are unnecessary for a day-to-day understanding of how the body works.”
Learn Science online in an easy and fun way! The Fascinating Education series will engage the learner in a way that makes sense…and when things make sense, they stick! Dr. Margulies has a method of condensing complex subject matter into its essentials and relating it to the world around us.
Learn the four ways that atoms bond to each other to create molecules, and how each bond helps determine the properties of the resulting molecule. Learn how these special molecular properties explain our everyday world — from water freezing to nuclear energy to food to metals to weather, and more.
Learn the basic principles of biology, including the components of life: cell membranes, taking in nutrients, creating chemical energy, growing and repairing, reproducing, maintaining a stable internal environment, and adapting to a changing external environment.
Study the laws of nature governing movement, energy, and sound. Learn about the forces of electricity, magnetism, gravity, and the atomic nucleus. Understand how mathematical formulas summarize and predict events around us.
