Race cars are loud. They don't have mufflers because mufflers will reduce the speed of the car. Spectators need to make sure they have adequate ear protection if they attend a NASCAR race. Part of "The Science of Speed" series.
Exotic wooly adelgids are defoliating hemlock trees in the eastern United States. Scientists from the U.S. Forest Service are enlisting the help of predator beetles to reduce the number of wooly adelgids.
The gray seal population in the Northeast has risen due to protection policies enacted by the federal government. Due to the population increase, conservation biologists are conducting experiments by placing tracking devices on the seals. They are analyzing their diving history, travel patterns, and foraging habits.
The importance of forests cannot be underestimated. Humans depend on forests for survival, from the air they breathe to the wood they use. Besides providing habitats for animals and livelihoods for humans, forests also offer watershed protection, prevent soil erosion, and mitigate climate change.
Part of the "Green Careers" series. Visits a naval air station where a team from the Environmental Protection Agency manages a massive program to remove a half-century of hazardous waste. Profiles such jobs as hazardous-waste technician, chemist, toxicologist, and EPA project manager. Jobs profiled include the following: project manager, technical manager, safety officer, chemist, and scientist.
One of the areas showing the greatest impacts of climate change is Antarctica. These impacts are significant because Antarctica serves as the regulator of global climate patterns and helps redistribute heat throughout the planet. Antarctica also greatly influences the circulation of the world’s oceans’ currents. Due to Antarctica’s influence on global climate patterns, scientists and other experts are working together to ensure the protection of Antarctica’s environment. Chapter 8 of Air: Climate Change Series.
It was an email from a colleague that tipped off environmental engineer Detlef Knappe of possible 1,4-dioxane contamination in the Cape Fear River Basin, North Carolina’s largest watershed and a source of drinking water for communities across the state. The Environmental Protection Agency has classified 1,4-dioxane as a probable human carcinogen. With support from a National Science Foundation grant, Knappe and his team at North Carolina State University have begun to identify 1,4-dioxane sources and how 1,4-dioxane impacts drinking water quality. Knappe is also working with managers at water treatment plants and state policymakers in North Carolina to improve testing and treatment standards for 1,4-dioxane. Part of the National Science Foundation Series “Science Nation.”
Labelled parts of the Human Inner Ear

Explores how ears work and how ears help us communicate with the world. Explains common ear problems, including blockage, infection, and hearing impairment. Discusses symptoms of these conditions and introduces doctor's diagnostic tools. Emphasizes healthy habits and stresses not to put anything in your ears smaller than your elbow. Talks about how children with hearing loss communicate and learn.
As shown on the History Channel. Four and a half billion years ago, the Earth formed from dust in space to become a molten ball of rock orbiting the Sun. Travels back in time to investigate how the fledgling planet survived a cataclysmic cosmic collision with another world, how molten rock solidified to land, how our oceans filled with water, and how life arrived on Earth. Geologists study the oldest rocks on Earth and meteorites from outer space to solve the geological mystery of all--the birth of the Earth.
In this segment, students learn all about different types of energy found on Earth. Solar energy comes from the sun, and geothermal energy is generated and stored in the earth. Students also discuss these forms of energy and how the energy of the earth transfers heat through the convection process. Part of the "Earth Science" series.
Part of the Project-Based Inquiry Science "Earth Science Content Videos" series. Modules include the following: "Mantle Simulation: Hot Water in Cup," "Mantle Simulation: Cold Water in Cup," "Mantle Simulation: Cardboard," and "Plate Interaction Animations."
Human actions can have positive and negative impacts on Earth. Students will learn ways to make sure they help preserve the Earth.
How did the universe form? Where did it come from? Where does Earth fit into the equation? This segment focuses on Earth's place in the universe. Other topics covered include the solar system, gravity, planetary experience, and stars. Part of the "Earth Science" series.
While it may not always seem possible, Earth is continually changing. Students gain insight into geological processes such as the formation of land, erosion, and volcanic eruptions. Other Earth processes are also investigated.
As shown on the History Channel. In the remote wastes of Siberia buried under snow are the remains of one of the greatest catastrophes that the Earth has endured. 250 million years ago, huge volumes of lava spewed out onto the surface--so much that it would have buried the whole of Texas under one mile of lava. At first the temperature dipped but then the greenhouse gases that escaped from the depressurized lava caused a massive global warming. It wreaked havoc, and 95% of the species on Earth became extinct. Yet life hung on and in time this disaster paved the way for the next phase of life on earth--the age of the dinosaurs.
What is a seismic wave? Which of the four types is most destructive? Discover the science behind earthquakes with this animated video.
This segment answers the questions surrounding the origins of Earth. Scientists use clues from the past to help explain how Earth formed. Other topics covered include matter, minerals, and rocks. Part of the "Earth Science" series.
Part of the animated "Johan, the Young Scientist" series. Johan wonders why people don't fall off Earth if it really is round. He travels to ScienScape to find out. Professor Hoo sends Johan, Ani, and Moki to Earth to work on an experiment.
