Can people in remote rural areas who are far from electric generating plants get power for their lights and appliances? Solar cells make it possible. Mechanical and electrical engineers at the US Department of Energy's Sandia National Laboratories take viewers through the process of designing and installing solar cell panels in remote locations.

Living things go through changes in the course of their lives, referred to as life cycles. This program explains the life cycles of living organisms, specifically focusing on plants and animals. Video footage and colorful animations illustrate how living things change. Important terminology includes egg, seed, growth, metamorphosis, germination, stage, larva, pupa, nymph, and adult.
Bulldogs were first bread in the 13th century for the sport of bull-baiting. However, centuries later all of their fighting instincts have been breed out of them. Today, they are a natural charmer and lovable pet.
Dr. Sera Thornton, a biologist at MIT, answers the question, "Is there any way to make a unicorn by crossing DNA?" Part of the "#askMIT" series.
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 the biological processes involved in cellular respiration and how these processes provide energy to living things. Part of the Science Video Vocab series.
Some miniature horses have experienced an unintended consequence of over breeding for smallness: dwarfism. This affects their physical appearance as well as quality of life. Shelters have been established to take of these horses.
All living organisms share several key characteristics or functions. When combined, these characteristics serve to define life. In this episode, Petunia and Pinky discuss several of the characteristics of life. Part of "The Amoeba Sisters" series. Please note: This title contains discussions on sexual reproduction.
Host Alex Dainis discusses GFP (Green Fluorescent Protein), and its importance in scientific studies. GFP is a green fluorescent protein found in jellyfish. Scientists use GFP in biology to mark particular genes in various experiments, and it provides a direct look into the inner workings of cells.
Part of the "The Biology Classics" series. Paramecia are a group of unicellular ciliate protozoa. Shows how paramecia move, feed, digest, assimilate nutrients, achieve water balance, deploy defensive weapons, reproduce, and engage in the sexual exchange of genetic material. Utilizes state-of-the-art microscopy techniques to present a compelling new picture of the life of paramecia.
Is there beauty in a kidney cell? Microscopist Ruben Sandoval thinks so. Sandoval creates kaleidoscope--like artworks from the microscopic cell images he generates through his work. His art was born from the science he practices, and his scientific techniques have now been influenced by his art. Part of the "Artrageous With Nate" series.
Scientists are working on cloning a dog breed with exceptional capabilities for keeping airports safe. In South Korea, the airport uses two cloned dogs to locate illegal drugs which are smuggled into the country. Scientists created seven dogs that are clones from an award winning sniffer dog.
For centuries, silkworms have been breed to produce strong, fashionable silk threads. Today, the silk industry has joined forces with the biotechnology industry. Researchers are creating genetically modified worms which a produce a protein that aids in clotting blood. Researchers are looking to maybe one day use the protein in medical procedures.
In a response to the overfishing of Blue Fin Tuna, Japan began captive fish breeding programs. The University of Tokyo is trying to take these programs a step further. They have started a program to genetically alter mackerel to give birth to blue fin tuna.
They're neither plants nor animals, yet they are some of the most important life-forms on Earth. This video segment explores the world of single-celled organisms: what they eat, how they move, what they have in common, and what distinguishes them from one another.
Presents sensory receptors that depend on contact with the immediate world: taste buds, touch sensors, and olfactory cells. These receptors lie in the skin, the largest organ of the body, which also senses heat, pain, and pressure. Re-creates the complex world of the skin through realistic models and photographs.
In Japan, researchers have created a super productive egg layer. The white leghorn hen has lost its instinct to parent due to selective breeding. They abandon the eggs that they lay so energy and time is not spent on caring for a chick. These hens are able to concentrate solely on laying eggs.
What are nuclear actin filaments? They are the tiniest first responders that help cells repair damage. Other features in this episode include interventions to help boost coral's resilience to bleaching and chips that help miniature drones navigate. Part of the "4 Awesome Discoveries You Probably Didn't Hear About This Week" series.
The body's best offense against microorganisms is its immune system. But what is it and how does it work? Why does it sometimes work against us? Discusses the non-specific (skin, tears, saliva, mucus, stomach acid) and specific (lymphatic system, spleen, thymus, bone marrow) defenses that keeps us healthy. Describes some autoimmune diseases and various marrow-produced cells.
Discussions related to sex education and prevention strategies may not be appropriate for this age group, so this simply provides a baseline of knowledge about HIV and AIDS. Covers the definition of HIV and AIDS, transmission, progression, treatment and the importance of treating HIV-positive people with respect and compassion. Presents information through a lens that emphasizes healthy decision-making.
Why is RNA just as cool as DNA? Join the Amoeba Sisters as they compare and contrast RNA with DNA. Part of "The Amoeba Sisters" series.
