Part of the "Branches on the Tree of Life" series. Uses crisp graphic animation to describe the molecular-level mechanisms of photosynthesis. Examples of this critical element of plant biology include the major plant groups of mosses, liverworts, ferns, horsetails, and the seed plants (gymnosperms and flowering plants).
Discover what happens at the outer edges of the solar system where solar wind interacts with interstellar space. The Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) is a mission to study the boundary between the solar system and interstellar space. It collects data that shows the global structure and dynamic nature of the heliosphere.
Smart Puppy and Sir Harold Kroto, a Nobel Prize Chemist, discuss the science behind a buckyball. They use a soccer ball to help demonstrate its structure. Part of the “Smart Puppy! and Friends” series.
Does snot have a purpose other than being gross? It turns out, it’s a pretty awesome material with many benefits for the human body. A biological engineer at MIT explains the usefulness of snot. Part of the "Science Out Loud" series.
A virus is a submicroscopic infectious agent that replicates only inside the living cells of an organism. This video discusses virus structures and why a host is critical for viral reproduction. Part of "The Amoeba Sisters" series.
Part of a series that features a wide variety of video footage, photographs, diagrams and colorful, animated graphics and labels. Begins with a simple definition of the term and concludes with a critical thinking question. For this particular video, students will focus on the term chemistry. Part of the Science Video Vocab Series.
Part of a series that features a wide variety of video footage, photographs, diagrams and colorful, animated graphics and labels. Begins with a simple definition of the term and concludes with a critical thinking question. For this particular video, students will focus on the term element. Part of the Science Video Vocab Series.
Bill Nye describes a spider's body structure, tells how it differs from insects, demonstrates how spiders use their silk (the strongest natural fiber in the world), and stresses their importance in nature. Closeups of webs.
Joel and the Curiosity Quest crew visit Big Toys Factory to learn how playground equipment is made. The toys from this factory are made from recycled materials. Part of the Curiosity Quest Series.
Shows the structure, behavior, and life cycles of planarians and their free-living relatives (class Turbellaria). Illustrates the bizarre life cycles of flukes (class Trematoda) and tapeworms (class Cestoda) with detailed animations and revealing images of these parasites in action.
Uses microphotography and graphics to examine different kinds of plant and animal cells, discussing their structures and tissues. Defines mitosis and meiosis as forms of cell division and illustrates each. Video has three 5-minute segments for convenience.
NOVA takes an in-depth look at scientific breakthroughs in reproductive science. Discusses in vitro fertilization (IVF) and examines some of the latest techniques in treating infertility: cytoplasmic transfer, micromanipulation, and egg donation. Presents the challenges and risks of infertility and treatments. Raises ethical questions about the implications of reproductive technology.
Where do bacteria live, and how long have they been here? How can you tell them apart? What do they do to people and the environment? Answers these and other questions in this overview. Examines the fundamental structure of the bacteria cell, types of bacteria, and their importance to humans and the environment.
Part of a series that features a wide variety of video footage, photographs, diagrams and colorful, animated graphics and labels. Begins with a simple definition of the term and concludes with a critical thinking question. For this particular video, students will focus on the term allotrope. Part of the Science Video Vocab Series.
Part of the "Branches on the Tree of Life" series. The bacteria section uses compelling microscopy of living bacteria to examine their structure, physiology, behavior, and the vital roles these microbes play in the biosphere.
Shows how gravity affects erosion. Documents how scientists study erosion and weathering. Highlights the California landslide problem. Surveys the destruction caused by fast erosion. Explains why deforestation and building houses and other structures contribute to erosion.
Part of the "Chemistry in Action" series. Numerous real-life examples of elements are exemplified in the table. Animations and graphics illustrate concepts not easily achieved through other instructional strategies. Specific patterns in the periodic table are highlighted. Introduces the following terminology: atomic structure, atomic number, atomic mass, periods, and families.
Features a wide variety of video footage, photographs, diagrams and colorful, animated graphics and labels. Begins with a simple definition, and this helps clarify pronunciation and provides opportunities to transfer words from working to long-term memory. Also concludes with a critical thinking question. For this particular clip, students will focus on vertebrate.
Discusses the various body structures that enable microorganisms to move and function in their habitats. One of nine segments in a series, with all nine available on a DVD.
