Live-action footage conveys basic features of the major invertebrate groups. Special attention is paid to the body structure and physical features of simple animals. Other terminology includes backbone, sponge, sea anemone, radial symmetry, planaria, earthworm, bilateral symmetry, exoskeleton, segmented body, and jointed appendages.
Presents the following songs about animals using American Sign Language: Oh Where, Oh Where Has My Little Dog Gone?; Itsy Bitsy Spider; Bat, Bat; Bear Went Over the Mountain; Croak!!! Said the Toad; Animal Parade; Froggy Went A-Courtin'; Animal Alphabet.
Lorena Gómez visits the Museum of La Salle University and takes a tour with Cristian, an expert on biodiversity. The tour highlights the fastest animals and insects in the world. Students learn about the fastest insect, the Australian tiger beetle, and the cheetah, the fastest animal on the planet.
A teddy bear and toy bunny serve as guides on a trip to a farm. They see and comment on a variety of baby farm animals: piglets, kittens, rabbits, calves, puppies, colts, ducklings, chicks, lambs, fawns, and kids. They also see a beekeeper fumigating a beehive with smoke in order to harvest the honey.
How do biologists answer questions and solve problems? Within the context of answering this question, data collection, recording, and analysis are overviewed. Examines two animal behaviors: feeding and communication. Illustrates the different behaviors of lions, alligators, and chimpanzees, and then highlights the "waggle dance" used by bees. Supports the learning of these concepts in tandem with the textbooks also offered by the publisher.
Explore the vastly different ecosystems of the rainforest and the jungle. This video discusses the diversity of their vegetation, animals, and insects. From the Kool Books series narrated by Hector Bonilla.
The manta ray is the largest ray in the ocean. They have have cephalic lobes, or flaps, which help the manta funnel food into its mouth. These animals can even leap out of the water. Now that's one weird animal. Part of the "Weird Animal" series.
Animals have contributed to scientific advancements, but how ethical is it to use them in research? Viewers explore the legal and ethical issues concerning the use of animals in research. Part of the "Core Concepts in Psychology" series.
This video outlines the complementary nature between structure and function. Students will observe specific animals that have structures geared towards a particular function. Topics covered include the structures and processes animals use involved in breathing, eating, passing waste, and moving. Part of the "Biology" series.
The answers to the age-old question 'What do women want?" just might be found in the animal kingdom. Scientists using unorthodox techniques and the latest technology are probing the mysteries of attraction. Discover how females are shaping the future of their species by choosing the best mates.
Follows scientists as they explore the mysteries of attraction, natural selection, and survival of the fittest in the male animal kingdom. The scientists use unorthodox techniques and the latest technology to study how males in the animal kingdom achieve their main goal of passing their genes to the next generation. For some species in the animal kingdom, males will go to extremes to win a mate. They make music, fight, overdress, and even agree to be eaten alive to ensure survival of the fittest.
Presents a brief history of what new information caused the classification of living things to evolve from the original two kingdom classification of animals and plants by Linnaeus in the 18th century to the present-day six kingdoms: Animal, Plant, Fungi, Protista, Eubacteria, and Archaebacteria. Discusses three of the six kingdoms: Animals, Plants, and Fungi.
Sea cucumbers scavenge tiny pieces of food on the ocean floor, and they come in all different sizes. Some species are as small as coins, and others can grow to the size of a person. However, this weird animal does not have a brain. Part of the "Weird Animal" series.
Examines developments in zoology and agriculture that are challenging scientists, business leaders, and government officials alike. With commentary from Lori Williams of the National Invasive Species Council, it studies a disturbing increase in nonnative and often harmful insect populations on American soil. North Carolina's sprawling hog farms and their growing waste-disposal problem are also investigated, with input from farmers, their neighbors, and EPA officials. Also offers insights into the 17-year cicada life cycle-featuring an interview with renowned entomologist and University of Maryland professor Mike Raupp.
This giant moray eel likes to hide among reefs and can grow as long as 13 feet. It has a second set of jaws in its throat that grabs prey and drags it into its mouth. Now that's one weird animal. Part of the "Weird Animal" series.
The blackspotted puffer fish lives in the Pacific and Indian Oceans. To scare away predators, it puffs its body up like a balloon. However, this fish is poisonous, so it's not safe to eat. Now, that's one weird animal. Part of the "Weird Animal" series.
Their waddle has made them famous. These flightless marine birds have adapted well to the ice, snow, and frigid waters. Emperor penguins are the largest of all penguins, and they have several adaptations, which help them survive in cold environments.
Neuroscientist Cindy Moss is investigating how animals use sensory information to guide their behavior. Her team at Johns Hopkins University's "Batlab" is currently focused on bat echolocation. The group aims to better understand how these highly specialized creatures perceive and navigate their world. Part of the "Science Nation" series.
Features Emily, the six-year-old host, who learns about snakes and camels, takes care of kittens, swims with dolphins, and goes snorkeling. Using a natural, unscripted format, Emily investigates the world through her own candid comments and questions, engaging everyone she meets. Teaches young learners basic concepts about the world around them in a manner that is positive and nonthreatening.
