A boy takes his two pets-a dog and a frog-to the park. While the boy is busy chasing his dog, the frog takes the opportunity to hop out of its basket and explore. Its first adventure is a ride in a toy truck that's being pulled by a little girl. The boy and dog hunt for the frog. Meanwhile, the frog joins the act of a street magician, hides in a picnic basket, takes a ride in a toy motorboat, and jumps into a baby's carriage. The baby's mother summons the park police, but the boy and dog rescue their amphibian friend just in time. Based on a book by Mercer Mayer.

"The Scully Effect" is the idea that Dr. Dana Scully (heroine of the "X-Files," scientist, and FBI agent) inspired a huge increase in women joining STEM fields, but what if there's more to the story? Host Trace Dominquez looks into the study behind "The Scully Effect" and explores if there are other factors that affected how people viewed STEM in the 1990s. Part of the "Uno Dos of Trace" series.
The Grizzly Bear, America's largest, most spectacular predator, was on the brink of extinction in Yellowstone National Park until the 1975 Endangered Species Act made its recovery the biggest success story in conservation history. All wild carnivores need large ecosystems to survive, but when human economic interests, food, or small children encroach into their territory, conflicts between bears and people are inevitable. As we witness the impacts of environmental degradations and human encroachment on the last grizzly habitat in the lower 48 states, we ponder whether this American wilderness icon still faces extinction or if we will be able to co-exist with it.
In part six of the exploration of north Florida and south Georgia, children immerse themselves in turtles, frogs, fish, and butterflies found living along the Ochlockonee River. Part of the "Roaming the Red Hills" series.
Olli cannot understand why a light is turned off when it is not needed, since it is so easy to flick the switch. Thanks to Suzie, the children get to meet "Power," who can indeed create ample electricity. They also learn a lesson about conservation and natural resources. Part of the "My Little Planet" series.
When Hanna helps herself to some water from the river, she finds it very polluted. The children and Suzie work their way upstream searching for clean water. During their journey, they learn about the effects of pollution on the environment. Part of the "My Little Planet" series.
In this classic story from Eric Carle, Hermit Crab has outgrown his snug little shell so he finds himself a larger one. And along the way he finds many new friends to decorate and protect it. Based on his book by the same title.
Provides insights on extraterrestrial life from scholars and astronomers at premier research institutions, such as the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and NASA. Shows how proponents of the "aliens are here" theories have compiled a library of books, Internet sites, and documentaries to support their ideas. Includes an interview with Budd Hopkins, author of several alien abduction books, and a hypnosis session of a young man who recalls encountering alien creatures. Also includes a demonstration by an illusionist who shows that hypnosis is nothing more than tricking the mind.
What is a lab notebook? In this episode, host Alex Dainis explains how she uses lab notebook when conducting research. These notebooks are the primary record of research, and researchers use them to document their hypotheses, experiments, and analysis of experiments.
Life is wonderful for Hanna and Olli, as they lay in the grass by the side of a pond. They are hoping to be lucky enough to witness the metamorphosis of the dragonfly princess. Part of the "My Little Planet" series.
In this episode, host Emily Gralie features stories on current scientific research. One segment highlights the work of Paleontologist Carmen Soriano. She is studying tiny fractures in dinosaur limbs. Another segment focuses on a community group, and their quest to bring back an extinct plant. The final story explains how two scientists discovered fossils of the beardog. Part of the "Natural News From The Field Museum" series.
Why is there such an alarming increase in the number of children with food allergies? More than three times as many children have food allergies now than twenty years ago. And one out of every three children is now allergic to something, be it food, animals, or plants. In searching for a fix, scientists are upending the conventional wisdom about what causes allergies and how to deal with them.
For Misty Davies, it was all about making the world a better place. She grew up wanting to be a veterinarian, a writer, a mother, and a scientist. True to her childhood ambitions to be many things when she grew up, Dr. Davies’ path to NASA came only after holding positions as a Shakespearean actress, a waitress, and a veterinary technician. Along the way, she studied how albatrosses fly across the ocean without flapping their wings and why rubber is so stretchy. She is also a mother and learns something new from her two children every day. Part of the "Women@NASA" series.
