After explaining the differences between butterflies and moths, examines the complete metamorphosis of the zebra longwing butterfly. Looks at a butterfly's anatomy; purpose of specific body parts; and how they have adapted for camouflage, gathering food, reproduction, and pollination. Explains the butterfly's unique place in the survival of all species.

An early exploration (2015) into how to make a sim accessible has taken place for Capacitor Lab Basics. The sim is keyboard navigable with some auditory descriptions when using 'Forms' mode with a screen reader. We are working on updating the content and the interactions, so that the simulation can be accessed by a screen reader in any mode. This prototype has been tested with NVDA and Firefox.

Marli Lintner, an avian veterinarian, shares her expertise on choosing a pet bird, common species, bringing a bird home, proper housing, nutrition and diet, health matters, trimming wings and nails, and taming a bird.
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.
An early exploration (2015) into how to make a sim accessible has taken place for Forces and Motion Basics. It has working keyboard navigation and auditory descriptions for the 'Net Force' screen when the screen reader is in 'Forms' mode. We are working on updating the content so that it can be read by the screen reader in any mode. Notes for the main interaction: Press 'Enter' or 'Spacebar' to enter a group of pullers. Once in the group, use 'Arrow' keys to choose which puller you wish to select. Press 'Enter' or 'Spacebar' to select puller and move to knot selection. Use 'Arrow' keys to choose between different knots. Press 'Escape' to leave a group of pullers or knots, 'Tab' to leave group and go to next element. This prototype has been tested with NVDA and Firefox.
Part of a series that features a wide variety of video footage, photographs, diagrams, graphics, and labels. For this particular video, students will focus on procedures for conducting experiments in a science lab. These procedures ensure a safe environment for everyone. Part of the Science Video Vocab series.
Describes human activities' effects on earth. Examines how humans, industrialization, and technologies impact the environment, water cycle, and land use. Encourages better planning and management of resources.
What is physics? The Standard Deviants introduce students to some of the basic vocabulary and concepts found in physics. Topics covered include scientific notation, numbers, units, scalars, and vectors. Part of the "Standard Deviants School: Physics" series.
Solutions are classified as acidic or basic based on their hydrogen ion concentration relative to pure water. An acidic solution has a higher concentration of hydrogen ions, and a basic solution has a lower concentration of hydrogen ions. Other topics covered include chemical reaction basics, properties of acids and based, acid-base reactions, and other mixtures. Part of the "Chemistry" series.
All living things have basic needs that must be met in order to survive. This easy-to-understand program addresses the basic needs of organisms. By considering specific plants and animals, the viewer sees how living things need food, water, air and a place to live.
Diagram of a basic lipid bilayer. Design modalities for the image include braille with and without labels, print with and without labels in greyscale, color, and texture.
Water has many everyday uses. Students get a glimpse of all the uses of water and explore its basic characteristics.
Students will explore the basic parts of a plant, including the stem, roots, and leaves. This video describes the functions of each of these plant parts using various illustrations. Important terminology includes taproot, fibrous root, stem, sap, nutrients, and leaf.
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 an overview of a typical ecosystem, introducing and explaining terminology, while stressing the interdependence of its living and nonliving components. Explores basic principles of ecology, and mentions various ecosystems and their general characteristics. Short quiz follows the summary.
The building of houses answers one of the basic needs of humans. Sustainable architecture is a way to conceive construction with an energy efficient design in our buildings and helps reduce the harmful effects of environmental pollution.
All living organisms on Earth contain cells which are the basic structural unit for all organisms. Cells are small compartments that hold the biological equipment necessary to keep an organism alive. They also have specific parts to make the cell work.
What is the information "superhighway" really all about? Communications engineers at GTE and US WEST provide a remarkably clear introduction to the basic concepts of the digital communications revolution. Demonstrates how 1s and 0s represent graphics, video, and even sounds.
What is light? What are some of the ways people use light? In this program, students develop a basic understanding of light and its uses. The fundamental characteristics of light are highlighted. Concepts and terminology discussed include: night, day, solar energy, and reflect.
