Students will learn about force and the effects of force on objects. Visual examples and real-life demonstrations promote an understanding of how things move. Important terminology includes force, work, friction, gravity, mass, and acceleration.
This video explores the mystery of why the traits of some offspring resemble their parents and others do not. The concept of heredity is discussed, as is the process by which genetic material is passed on from one generation to the next. Through colorful animations and vivid footage, students explore the key concepts concerning the inheritance of characteristics.
Students explore the diversity of plants and the important characteristics they have in common. The importance of plants in everyday life is stressed. Terminology includes oxygen, fruits, vegetables, seeds, and spores.
When one hears the roar of traffic, the bark of a dog, or a teacher’s voice, they are experiencing sound. This program uses colorful animations to explore important characteristics of sound, including intensity, loudness, pitch, and frequency. Concepts and terminology illustrated in this video include vibrations, frequency, pitch, amplitude, volume, how sound travels, uses of sound energy, and speed of sound.
Students investigate properties of the Sun. Special attention is given to other celestial bodies in space such as asteroids and comets.
Students investigate the features of vibrations and waves. Examples of these phenomena help students understand how sounds are formed, how light travels, and how ocean waves move. Students also explore different types of waves such as microwaves, radio waves, and seismic waves. Concepts and terminology include vibration, energy, wave, light, and sound.
People affect the environment in positive and negative ways. Discusses earth's renewable and nonrenewable natural resources. Highlights environmental areas of concern such as endangered species, resource conservation, pollution of air and water, the importance of recycling, and the danger of global warming. Emphasis is on human responsibility. Summary and quiz.
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.
The body is like a self-supporting hospital, able to deal with its own with wounds, bacterial invasions, fractures, and obstructions to its various passages. Follows the sequence of events over seconds and weeks when skin or bone is damaged, and shows the defensive reactions of blood clotting, fever, and mending of bone fractures.
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.
Students explore the features of amphibians. Concepts and terminology include cold-blooded, metamorphosis, frog, tadpole, toad, and salamander.
