Maritime archaeology is a discipline within archaeology that specifically studies human interaction with oceans, lakes, and rivers through the study of artifacts. Researchers trace the historical aspects of human dependence and influences on bodies of water. Some areas of interest include harvested goods from the sea, fishing techniques, transportation, and water quality. Part of the "Adventures of a Maritime Archaeologist" series.
The climate of the ocean may not be as harsh as once thought. Maritime archaeologists are discovering well-preserved ship wrecks. These sites are providing information about cultures, technologies, and histories of past civilizations. Part of the "Adventures of a Maritime Archaeologist" series.
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: Protista, Eubacteria, and Archaebacteria. Also, presents the hierarchical classification from kingdom to species. Because viruses do not have the capability of an independent cellular life, they are included in neither the kingdom nor domain classifications.
Updates the five kingdoms classification scheme with the latest understanding of life's organization based on DNA, fossil, and biochemical evidence, reorganizing all life into three great branches: Archaea, Bacteria, and Eucarya. Shows concise animations and superb microscope footage of primitive cells.

The discovery of Archaeopteryx in a quarry in Germany in the early 1860s provided the first clue that birds descended from reptiles. In the last 40 years, scientists have identified many shared features between birds and two-legged carnivorous dinosaurs called theropods.
The Magic School Bus is an award winning animated children’s television series based on the book series of the same title by Joanna Cole and Bruce Degen. It is notable for its use of celebrity talent and being both highly entertaining and educational. It's the International Show-and-Tell Competition, and Arnold and DA are representing Ms. Frizzle's class. Arnold brings a webbed hoop, left behind by his great-aunt Arizona Joan, the famous archaeologist. But he has no idea what it is. Using clues from the hoop and Joan's journal, the kids make educated guesses about its uses. To test their hypotheses, Ms. Frizzle turns the bus into a "Supposatron," a magical device designed to evaluate guesses. Can the kids solve the puzzle before Arnold and DA take the stage?

More than two and a half miles below the ocean's surface, the wreckage of the Titanic rests on the seafloor. The legend of the Titanic was larger than her size, and finding the wreck site opened a door to not only exploration and scientific study, but to salvage as well. The United States negotiated an international agreement with representatives of the United Kingdom, Canada, and France. This agreement recognizes the wreck site as a memorial to those who died and a wreck of great archaeological, historical, and cultural importance.
