Biological vectors carry and transmit diseases that affect plants, animals, and humans. This program focuses on diseases transmitted by mosquitoes and ticks. Students will learn how scientists use the information they gather to help control and prevent the transmission of vector-borne diseases around the world. Part of the "Real World Science" series.

The Standard Deviants teach students how to multiply vectors. Students also explore kinematics, displacement, velocity, and acceleration. Part of the "Standard Deviants School: Physics" series.
Ice cream is so much more than just a delectable delight. It's a complex matrix of crystals, bubbles, and globules. Fortunately, the delicate structure of ice cream is held together by a combination of chemical reinforcements and top-of-the-line freezing technology. This allows the perfect mix to be delivered to the mouth where the chemicals explode in a fantastic release of flavor and texture. Part of the "Science to Go With Dr. Joe Schwarcz" series.
Originally, soft drinks were sold as medicine and contained ingredients that are now illegal. Today, soft drinks are tamer in content and better understood as merely a refreshing beverage. This episode explains how they are made and the effects they have on the body once consumed. Part of the "Science to Go With Dr. Joe Schwarcz" series.
Things really get spinning with a discussion of accelerated circular motion. The Standard Deviants explain rotational motion, which is the rotation of objects like planets. Along the way, students learn about radical radians and linear momentum. Part of the "Standard Deviants School: Physics" series.
In the early 1950s, American biologist James Watson and British physicist Francis Crick came up with their famous model of the DNA double helix. The structure of DNA, as represented in Watson and Crick's model, is a double-stranded helix. The sugar-phosphate backbones of the DNA strands make up the outside of the helix, while the nitrogenous bases are found on the inside and form hydrogen-bonded pairs that hold the DNA strands together. Other topics covered include DNA replication, RNA transcription, and RNA translation. Part of the "Biology" series.
The Standard Deviants discuss the three laws of Sir Isaac Newton. This branch of study is also known as Newtonian physics, and it applies to everyday conditions of speed, time, and gravitational pull. Other topics covered include forces in equilibrium, mass as opposed to weight, inertia, static and kinetic friction, and tension. Part of the "Standard Deviants School: Physics" series.
The Standard Deviants explore Kepler's laws of planetary motion. Next, they discuss simple harmonic motion pendulums. Other topics covered include cycle, amplitude, wavelength, frequency, spring constants, and the restoring force. Part of the "Standard Deviants School: Physics" series.
Peoples’ attitudes about marijuana have changed dramatically over the years, but one thing is certain--marijuana changes the way the brain functions. The THC in marijuana enters the lungs, is absorbed into the bloodstream, and enters the brain almost immediately. Viewers will understand the immediate effects of marijuana use on various body systems. This program also discusses the effects of marijuana on attention, memory, and learning. Part of the "Talk It Out" series.
Shows how the cerebellum coordinates muscle activity and how position sensors in the muscles and joints and the balancing mechanism of the inner ear function. The motions of a water-skier show the physical, interconnected structure of muscles, joints, and organs. The role of joints is explained, and a look at the interior of a human knee shows clearly how lubricating fluid is produced.
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.
