In conjunction with NOVA—the highest rated science series on television—Gorton Studios developed activities for a two-hour documentary on Absolute Zero.
Gorton Studios worked with NOVA to design and develop six interactive features that explore the science of cold.
Milestones In Cold Research
In this interactive time line, trace the trajectory of discovery, from Galileo's thermoscope to a recent experiment that reached less than a billionth of a degree above absolute zero.How Low Can You Go?
In our virtual lab, use the "cascade" process to achieve dramatically lower temperatures.States of Matter
Adjust temperature and pressure, and watch as gases become liquids, liquids harden into solids, and more.A Matter of Degrees
Create your own temperature scale, then see how it compares to those of Fahrenheit and Celsius.Anatomy of a Refrigerator
You likely have one, but do you know how it works?The Ice Trade
In this game, dispatch 10 ships loaded with natural ice to Florida, Brazil, or India. Can you make a profit?We are also very proud of the fact that we are the first outside web firm to ever work with NOVA to develop such activities.
