  • Illustration of different physical attributes such as nose shape, foot arch, and eye shape. Caption: have been selected at random from the DNA of our parents.

    Provides an overview of how attraction, desire, and sexual coupling lead to conception. Covers the physiological events underlying the process of reproduction. NOTE: graphic content.

  • Screenshot: Phet Simulation - Gravity Force Lab Basics. Two human shaped figures pulling on a large ball where you can adjust the masses in billions of Kilograms and see the resulting force applied.

    Visualize the gravitational force that two objects exert on each other. Discover the factors that affect gravitational attraction, and determine how adjusting these factors will change the gravitational force.

  • Bird with a brown body, drooping white neck, and splayed tail feathers stands in front of a smaller, plain brown bird. Caption: If a female is interested, she lets him know it

    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.

  • Spheres in a cube, lined up in an alternating positive and negative pattern. Caption: by mutual Columbic attraction in a regular pattern.

    Understanding the interatomic forces that give structure and properties to different types of solids is essential for the creation of new alloys, the development of useful polymers, and the creation of many other kinds of materials. Chemistry is not only an excellent entry point to predicting how a new material behaves but is also a continuous process of innovation and discovery. Part of the series: Chemistry: Challenges And Solutions.

  • Two spiders facing each other on a leaf. Caption: To win a mate, the males must perform an elaborate dance,

    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.

  • Illustration of an adult gorilla holding a baby gorilla, other adult gorillas in a forest the background. Caption: He was part of a large family of western lowland gorillas.

    Born in 1962 and captured as a baby, Ivan was brought to a mall in Tacoma, Washington. For 27 years shoppers flocked to the mall to see Ivan, but public pressure built until a better way of life for Ivan was found at Zoo Atlanta. From the Congo to America, and from a local business attraction to a national symbol of animal welfare, Ivan the Shopping Mall Gorilla traveled an astonishing distance in miles and in impact. This is a true story based on the book by Katherine Applegate.

  • Blurry product label as seen through clear film. Caption: Naphthalene doesn't occur naturally in ground water.

    In the Rosebud River valley, an hour east of Calgary, the water in many homes can be lit on fire. Everyone agrees there's gas in the water. Few agree on why. At Fiona Lauridsen's farm, just outside the hamlet of Rosebud, showering has become a dangerous activity. Fiona and her family developed skin burns from simply taking a shower and Fiona claims that EnCana, Canada's largest natural gas company is responsible. She claims that EnCana has contaminated the aquifer by drilling (fracking) for coal bed methane, a new source of natural gas extraction that often uses chemicals for drilling. Yet in the hamlet, where the Rosebud Theatre is a popular tourist attraction and graciously sponsored by EnCana, most residents refuse to even talk about burning water, for fear of harming the tourist industry.
