Moko is an explorer. As he travels the world continent by continent, he makes many friends and discovers many natural phenomena which sometimes delight him, and other times scare him. Each animated episode recounts an adventure and takes an "original story" approach to explaining these natural phenomena. In this episode, Moko wants to head off and tells Totemie that he must find the end of the world. But a fisherman tells them that no one will find what it is that they seek unless they have passed by the blue holes, or underwater cave. Moko doesn't understand but follows the path of a mysterious and immense blue hole in the middle of the ocean. This is when strange things begin happening. The sea is swirling and the sky changes color. Strange lights appear in front of their raft, then disappear. They get the impression that they are flying high above the ocean, then mysteriously they find themselves back on the beach. Moko remembers his first trip and thinks that this must be the heart of the ocean beating for his old friend.

After a few relatively mild winters on the northern Gulf coast, cold intolerant black mangroves have started to multiply in salt marshes. Dr. Hughes is conducting an experiment to test whether some mangroves are better adapted to colder climates. Part of the series "In The Grass, On The Reef."
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.
Dorothy Vaughan, Mary Jackson, Katherine Johnson, and Christine Darden were good at math. They participated in some of NASA's greatest successes, like providing the calculations for America's first journeys into space. This title explores the story of four female African-American mathematicians as they overcame gender and racial barriers to succeed in a highly challenging career. Based on the children's book by Margot Lee Shetterly.

Qualcomm Thinkabit Lab engineer Saura Naderi teaches students how to make an LED light up and blink. Naderi demonstrates the basics of programming an Arduino board, as well as introduces coding and engineering vocabulary.
Parasitoid insects are veritable serial killers, and they play a major role in the regulation of insect populations. Scientific research on the lines of a criminal investigation reveals how these killers behave and what remarkable capabilities they have. In basic research, parasitoids make excellent models for behavioral ecology studies. They are also used in applied research, notably for biological control, where they can serve as precious auxiliaries for controlling crop pests. Parasitoids still have many secrets to reveal, and new research avenues are opening up.
National Geographic grantee Laura Ruykys works in Australia to help the endangered black wallaby. There are fewer than hundred left in the wild, and they have started an unique accelerated breeding program hoping to increase the numbers in the wild. Segment of video from Wild Chronicles Series.
Students replicate a repeated measure design experiment, called the Stroop effect, to learn about how it helps control variables in experiments. Part of the "Core Concepts in Psychology" series.
Describes how the sound and pictures from a live event get from the camera to the home television screen. Provides a history of television, explaining the switch from black and white to color. Notes the advantages of digital signals over analog. Considers the future of television. Looks at a new technique, digital video compression, in which television signals are received through phone lines.
Films the landforms and plant and animal life of Death Valley. Details how animals and plants have adapted to this extreme environment. Interviews biologist who are studying the endangered desert pupfish that resides in the aquifer known as Devil's Hole. Studies the desert tortoise and its remarkable adaptations to this desert biome.
Examines Mercury, the closest planet to the Sun. Uses photography from the Mariner fly-bys and animation to show the planet's surface features. Describes its characteristics, length of day vs. length of year, its two sunrises, and its orbit. Time-lapse images record Mercury passing across the Sun, an event that occurs only 13 times a century!
Dr. Randall Hughes is conducting an experiment into how well black mangrove propagules from both local and south Florida trees grow in Saint Joseph Bay. Following a harsh winter, she is able to more thoroughly test the survivorship of black mangroves in northern Gulf marshes. Part of the series In "The Grass, On The Reef."
Charles Drew set a standard of excellence unparalleled by most of his white contemporaries. In 1943, his distinction in his profession was recognized when he became the first black surgeon to serve as an examiner on the American Board of Surgery. Despite the prejudices of American society in the first half of the 20th century, Charles Drew persevered in his practice and was never afraid to stand up for his beliefs and racial equality.
Sagittal, or side view of the human brain shows the different lobes of the cerebral cortex. The frontal lobe is at the front center of the brain. The parietal lobe is at the top back part of the brain. The occipital lobe is at the back of the brain, and the temporal lobe is at the bottom center of the brain. The motor cortex is the back of the frontal lobe, and the olfactory bulb is the bottom part. The somatosensory cortex is the front part of the parietal lobe. The brainstem is beneath the temporal lobe, and the cerebellum is beneath the occipital lobe.
