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, continuing their expedition, Moko and Totemie come across a great river. It is so beautiful and so wide that they decide to build a raft and explore it further. A woman who is returning from the fields warns them of a great danger, but it is too late, the current has already carried the raft along its waves. In the distance they can hear a deep rumbling sound, and it seems to be getting closer. As their raft is propelled forward, it is stopped by the edge of a reef just on the edge of a great chasm. The spectacle is so breathtaking that they forget their fear. When they finally manage to reach the shore safely, they thank the river for having kept them safe and having shown them the magnificent view of the waterfall.
Solutions are uniform mixtures of molecules in which any of the phases of matter can be dissolved in another phase. Whether solids, liquids, or gases, solution chemistry is important because most chemical reactions, whether in the laboratory or in nature, take place in solutions. In particular, solutions with water as the solvent are the core of all biology. Extending the particle model of matter to solutions enables chemists to predict what will happen to a deep-sea diver who breathes different mixtures of gases or to the life forms in the ocean as carbon dioxide levels rise in the atmosphere. Part of Chemistry: Challenges and Solutions Series.
For many years the Hubble Space Telescope has collected breathtaking images of the cosmos with remarkable clarity. Now, ground based telescopes are fighting back. They are combining the precision of several instruments and correcting for atmospheric shimmer. This program presents and explains the designs, uses, and outputs of different types of telescopes.
With every breath you take, the process of respiration is supplying cells in the body with oxygen they need to carry out important processes. This program highlights the major structures and functions of the respiratory system. Concepts and terminology include: nasal passage, pharynx, larynx, lungs, diaphragm, trachea, bronchial tubes, alveoli, gas exchange, pulmonary circulation, inhalation, exhalation, hemoglobin, asthma, bronchitis, smoking, lung cancer, and pneumonia.
Researchers hitch a ride with the Mexican Navy to visit the breathtakingly beautiful but critically endangered island habitat of Guadeloupe Island. Led by Drs. Borja Mila and Ellen Ketterson, the team sets out to collect some of the first modern data and genetic samples from the juncos found on the remote island, with the goal of learning the origins and evolutionary history of this mysterious species. What they find could have important implications for the future of this fascinating but imperiled population of juncos. Part of Ordinary Extraordinary Junco (Chapter 5).
How do fish breathe underwater? The answer is oxygen. Scientists discuss how oxygen gets into water.

Many animals look like tiny versions of their parents when they are born, but not frogs. Follow the narrator and her grandpa as they observe the events leading up to their amphibian friend becoming a frog. Part of the "Everyday Science for Preschoolers" series.
Diagram of the human nose and sinus. Design modalities for the image include braille with and without labels, print with and without labels in greyscale, color, and texture.
The Palo Alto Humane Society tells the story of a compassionate and caring community that rides to the rescue of a sad and lonely dog. The story is told through a unique collaboration of art forms and artists, combining puppet artistry, circus art, mime, and dogs trained in theater performance. Puppets give voice to the story, while professional circus artists and their dogs enact the plot of caring, rescue, and love.
What is a black hole? Hans Krimm, an observational astronomer at the National Science Foundation, answers this question. Part of the "Ask a Scientist" series.
Sean Carroll, professor at University of Wisconsin-Madison, discusses the delicate balance of ecological systems. He explains how one seemingly minor change in one species can upset an entire ecosystem. Part of the "Ask a Scientist" series.
Climb aboard the Cyclops, a microscopic research vessel, and investigate an amazing hidden world on which all living things depend. The Cyclops houses a team of scientists known as the Micronauts and guides them through their discoveries of biological classification, diversity, and ecology. While navigating the dense aquatic weed forest of the pond, the Cyclops is pulled off course by a hydra. After escaping its tentacles, the crew begins to study how the hydra reproduces, captures its food, and digests its prey. One of the Micronauts takes a journey inside the hydra’s digestive system to get a first-hand account of the digestive process. Part 4 of the Microscopic Monsters Series.
Ever wondered how art museums decide if a painting is a fake? Nate meets with Dr. Gregory Smith, a forensic art scientist, to follow a painting they suspect is a forgery. They use everything from x-ray fluorescence to electron microscopy to figure this case out. Part of the "Artrageous With Nate" series.
Dwarf planets are a lot like regular planets. They both have enough mass and gravity to be nearly round, and they both travel through space in a path around the Sun. However, the path of the dwarf planet is full of objects like asteroids. A regular planet has a clear path around the sun.
What is an atom? It is the smallest particle of an element, and everything is made up of atoms. They consist of three basic particles: protons, electrons, and neutrons. The scientific community has experienced significant breakthroughs which have contributed to the understanding of atoms. Other topics covered include atomic number, atomic mass, Bohr model, electron cloud, and isotope.
Cutter is a young Atlantic spotted dolphin. When he was found in a busy harbor in Key West, he was dehydrated and malnourished. A team rescues and rehabilitates him.
What is neuroethics? Tim Brown, doctoral candidate and research assistant at University of Washington's Center for Neurotechnology, explains this concept. Part of the "Ask a Scientist" series.
