Does anyone ever think about the four pounds of garbage they produce every day? Get down to the nitty-gritty and discover the delicate ecosystem of a landfill, including the potentially harmful byproduct methane gas. Viewers follow the stinky trail from curb to dump to uncover the fate of trash and the science behind decomposition. Part of the "Break It Down" series.

What happens to the stuff flushed down a drain? How do velocity and friction factor into this system? Get down and dirty to see how the sewer system relies on these elements of force. The experts develop tracking gadgets that journey through the sewer system hot on the trail of the flushed materials. Part of the "Break It Down" series.
This program explores the psychology of eating and food as a cultural attribute. It also discusses various alternative diets and cautions dieters to thoroughly investigate any diet before subscribing to it. Part of the "Human Nutrition" series.
Nutritional disorders include any of the nutrient-related diseases and conditions that cause illness in humans. They may include deficiencies or excesses in the diet. Exercise and a healthy diet can help combat these disorders. Part of the "Human Nutrition" series.
The process known as the scientific method gives scientists a format for engaging in a step-by-step approach to come up with a reasonable solution to a proposed hypothesis. It is important for students to understand and use the scientific method when solving problems and answering questions. This program identifies the steps of the scientific method and provides real-world examples of the scientific method being used to solve everyday problems. Part of the "Real World Science" series.
Through the use of extraordinary aerial photography, cutting edge computer graphics, and beautiful on-location filming, this adventure film takes viewers on an incomparable journey through the Grand Canyon. From the striking images of the majestic canyon and legendary white water rapids of the Colorado River, viewers get a glimpse into places rarely seen by visitors.
How are rocks formed? Do they change over time? Students explore the world of rocks and minerals. They also learn how to identify common minerals and properties of rocks. Part of the "Way Cool Science" series.
Weather affects everyone's life. This program provides illuminating, live-action examples and explanations of different weather patterns around the world. Students will also learn the layers of the atmosphere and be able to explain the causes and effects of air currents and air pressure. Part of the "Way Cool Science" series.
Matter is made up of tiny particles called molecules. Host, Max Orbit, helps students learn all about the different properties, qualities, and characteristics of matter. He also discusses solids, liquids, and gases. Part of the "Way Cool Science" series.
Biodiversity, or biological diversity, refers to the variety of plants, animals, and microorganisms that exist. The biodiversity of an environment is important because it helps keep the environment in a natural balance. An ecosystem which is species-rich is more resilient and adaptable to external stress than one in which the range of species is limited. Part of the "Biology" series.
Homeostasis refers to the body’s ability to maintain a stable internal environment, and maintaining homeostasis requires that the body continuously monitors its internal conditions. From body temperature to blood pressure to levels of certain nutrients, each physiological condition has a particular set point. Topics covered include homeostasis, negative feedback loop, nervous system, endocrine system, digestive system, excretory system, musculoskeletal system, and the immune system. Part of the "Biology" series.
Biology is the study of life. It encompasses the cellular basis of living things, the energy that underlies the activities of life, and the genetic basis for inheritance in organisms. Topics covered include the smallest components of living things: atoms, molecules, organelles, and cells. Part of the "Biology" series.
Vitamins and minerals are essential nutrients because they perform hundreds of roles in the body. There is a fine line between getting enough of these nutrients and getting too much. Eating a healthy diet remains the best way to get sufficient amounts of vitamins and minerals. In addition to vitamins and minerals, water is also essential for the optimal performance and regulation of the human body. Part of the "Human Nutrition" series.
The immune system defends the body from pathogens that cause disease. Scientists have been able to develop vaccines to prevent the spread of deadly diseases. They continue to research new vaccines and pathways to eradicate potentially harmful viruses. Part of the "Real World Science" series.
The Standard Deviants discuss two-dimensional kinematics and motion in a plane. They also look at the role gravity plays in projectile motion and highlight some important equations for figuring out projectile motion and uniform circular motion. Part of the "Standard Deviants School: Physics" series.
The Standard Deviants start off with the concept of heat transfer. Students learn how much energy it takes to raise the temperature of a substance. This episode also discusses how matter changes state. Part of the "Standard Deviants School: Physics" series.
The Standard Deviants explore minerals. Viewers will learn all the basics, starting with that burning question: What is a mineral? Next, The Standard Deviants discuss magma, igneous rocks, plutons, and intrusive rocks. Part of "The Rockin' World of Geology" series.
Why do some rivers run straight while others twist and bend? What causes ocean waves? What is a glacier made of? Dive in with The Standard Deviants as they discuss the role of water in geology. Part of "The Rockin' World of Geology" series.
The Standard Deviants explore volcanoes and what causes them to erupt. They also discuss lava, pyroclastic materials, and the Ring of Fire. Then, it's time for a discussion on weathering. Part of "The Rockin' World of Geology" series.
In this episode, The Standard Deviants explore two different kinds of rock. First, they tackle all there is to know about sedimentary rocks. Next, they move on to metamorphic rocks. Part of "The Rockin' World of Geology" series.
