Scientists learn the basic properties of stars by analyzing the light they emit. Clarifies how brightness and luminosity are determined, discusses stellar parallax, and explains star color and characteristics. Focuses on yellow, blue, and red stars, white dwarfs, red giants, black holes, and supernovae.

Throughout North America, the species known as the dark-eyed junco exhibits striking differences in feather color, body size, and behavior from place to place. These variations among subspecies have caught the attention of biologists interested in diversification, evolution, and speciation. This segment features footage from junco habitats across the continent as researchers try to decode the riddle of the Junco’s evolutionary history. Part of Ordinary Extraordinary Junco (Chapter 3).
The sun's powerful, warm rays light up the sky with brilliant color and heat. The changing cycles of the sun can affect the earth and its living organisms. The sun is similar to a living organism-just as humans are born, grow older, and die, so too will the sun. When this happens, the rest of the solar system will have no future.
In this episode, marine biologists take a close look at microscopic images of "super corals." The images reveal a dynamic interaction between colorful algae and the coral they inhabit. Part of the "Super Corals" series.
Using real-world demonstrations and colorful graphics, students explore how light travels and how different mediums can affect light, resulting in reflection, refraction, and absorption. The color spectrum is also discussed through the use of prisms and paints. Part of the "Real World Science" series.
Professor Lawrence Gilbert and his team at the University of Texas at Austin have discovered a population of tropical butterflies that exemplify "evolution in action," and a rare research opportunity. Gilbert says they may be witnessing a species of butterfly splitting into two different species. The stars of this research are the Heliconius butterflies, found in Central and South America. Despite the genetic similarities between the two groups of the butterflies, one group is showing a color preference during mating. With support from the National Science Foundation, Gilbert and his team are working to gain insights about genetics, behavior, ecology, and evolution.
After the “Hola” song, Señora Alicia and Susana review the colors "green," "yellow," and "blue." While they sing to the tune of “Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes,” students learn the terms for the following body parts: head, arms, legs, and feet. Señora Alicia introduces a new instrument: the triangle. Students also practice a counting activity that reviews numbers "one" through "eleven." Part of the “Art and More” series.
Marvie is so excited to show the new video she found. It is about Seanna, the shark, and her underwater friends. Part of the "Marvie" series.
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.
For nearly a decade, with support from the National Science Foundation, Doppler on Wheels (DOW) has been doing its best work in dangerous weather to gather scientific data about wind, rain, and snow. Meteorologist Josh Wurman and his team at the Center for Severe Weather Research in Boulder, Colorado coordinate a fleet of storm-chasing vehicles from a compact control room inside one of the DOW trucks. From thunderstorms to blizzards, hurricanes to tornadoes, DOW is providing extensive and detailed information that may ultimately improve warning systems and weather prediction. Part of the National Science Foundation Series “Science Nation.”
Features a wide variety of video footage, photographs, diagrams and colorful, animated graphics and labels. Begins with a simple definition, and this helps clarify pronunciation and provides opportunities to transfer words from working to long-term memory. Also concludes with a critical thinking question. For this particular clip, students will focus on fish.
Titanium is a chemical element with the symbol Ti and atomic number 22. It is a lustrous transition metal with a silver color, low density, and high strength.

Size, weight, density, color, and texture are just a few of the ways to characterize matter. Students also learn ways to measure matter. Concepts and terminology include characteristic, physical, chemical, density, particles, and weight.
In response to one of the worst wildfires in Colorado history, scientists from Warner College at Colorado State University are leading a large-scale wildfire impact study. The study will provide critical data to communities still grappling with the destruction caused by wildfires. Some issues they will study include water quality, erosion, and ecosystem restoration.
Tests the heat zones of a Bunsen burner and shows some elements' coloration when placed in the flame. Notes that chemistry is everywhere, in both natural and man-made components.
In each episode, viewers are given clues about a hidden animal inside a magic box. Can viewers use all the clues to correctly guess the color-changing reptile in this episode? Part of the "Zoobabu" series.
Caesium has the atomic number 55 and symbols Cs. It is an alkali metal with a silvery-gold color and the only liquid metal from the group of elemental metals, which is liquid near or at room temperature.
Presents the relationships between climates and biomes and climates and people. Also, describes the six major climate types, and shows how weather extremes play a major role in each climate type.
The scientists will explore the color spectrum and explain why humans cannot see the whole spectrum. They will also create a solar oven using aluminum foil. Part of the House of Science Series.
Examines the similarities and differences between Mars and Earth. Comments on the size, color, atmosphere, and temperature of Mars. Includes footage from recent missions to Mars and speculates on possible manned space flights to the Red Planet.
