CLASSIC TVO
Eureka! continues to be one of TVO's best-selling series ever. These humorous, information-packed programs bring "boring" physics concepts to life. Each of the 30 five-minute programs takes a simple and direct approach to the subject matter. Constant review and reinforcement make the message clear; as a result, the study of physics becomes easier and accessible — even to viewers without a solid background in the subject.
