Ever wonder where millions of retired vehicles end up? An old jalopy begins a fascinating journey towards a new incarnation of steel. Watch as a car gets crushed, shredded, melted, and transformed. Learn how its components change form with the addition of energy. Part of the "Break It Down" series.
Currents in the Pacific Ocean have brought derelict fishing nets and gear to the waters around the Hawaiian islands. These nets are a safety hazard to ships and cause extensive damage to the ecosystem by snagging on coral reefs, entangling wildlife, and polluting shorelines. Instead of adding these nets to already congested landfills, Hawaii’s multi-partner marine debris group came up with a unique program to downcycle this marine debris into usable electricity.

Explore food chains, food webs, energy pyramids, and the power of biodiversity in this episode. Pinky and Petunia also introduce general vocabulary related to the study of ecology. Part of "The Amoeba Sisters" series.
Eco, the little bear, travels around the world observing human interactions with the environment. During his journey, he meets many other friends from the animal kingdom and gets a firsthand look into some of the environmental and social problems facing the planet. Eco and his friends provide ways for humans to ensure a healthy planet for the future. Part of "Eco S.O.S." series.
Did you know Oregon crab fishers lose their pots because they often encounter high winds and waves up to 40 feet? Join Joel on this adventurous quest as he boards a vessel to sail the Oregon coast in search of crab pots in an effort to help clean up the ocean. Part of the Curiosity Quest Series.
This University of Miami residence hall may look typical, but students in one of the apartments are participating in research involving one of the planet’s most precious commodities--water. With support from the National Science Foundation (NSF), environmental engineer James Englehardt and his team created a net zero water system, which serves most of the residents’ daily needs, including dish washing, showering and laundry. All of the water is treated just outside the building, and reused in a sustainable loop. Part of the National Science Foundation Series “Science Nation.”
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.
Clearly shows the environmental impacts of both renewable and nonrenewable energy sources. Provides an overview of numerous renewable energy sources, how the energy is collected, and the pros and cons of renewable energy. Also explores what is happening around the globe with the introduction of wind farms, wave parks, and solar farms.
Environmental and science experts explore the enormous potential for clean, renewable energy. They also illustrate the connections among such issues as solar energy, wind energy, energy efficiency, green buildings, and global climate change. Viewers also learn specific action steps that viewers can take in their own lives to create a sustainable future.
Thermodynamics deals broadly with the conservation and conversion of various forms of energy. It also describes the relationships between energy and the changes in properties of matter. Other topics covered include Hess's law, the laws of thermodynamics, and the Gibbs free energy. Part of the "Chemistry" series.
Host award-winning geoscientist, Richard Alley provides an eye-opening look at some of the world’s most important energy decisions, and an assessment of what it takes to build a sustainable energy infrastructure. Part 2 of Earth: The Operators’ Manual.
What is the best way to power the planet? Travel the globe with scholar Johan Norberg, from Morocco to Sweden and throughout the United States, as he explores the pros and cons of the eight main energy sources available to us: coal, oil, natural gas, nuclear, hydro, biomass, wind, and solar.
Carnegie Mellon University Computer Scientist and Electrical Engineer, Anthony Rowe, can always keep an eye on his home, even when he’s traveled to another time zone. That’s because he’s rigged his home with sensors he invented with support from the National Science Foundation. Now all he needs is a laptop to help him keep track of all his appliances – whether they are on or off and how much energy they’re using.
Kathryn Johnson, an electrical engineer at the Colorado School of Mines, studies large utility-scale wind turbines. Kathryn’s research aims to make the turbines more efficient in order to capture as much of the wind’s energy as possible. Viewers also visit NSF’s National Center for Atmospheric Research, where scientists are working with local utility companies to create an advanced wind energy prediction system. Using data from sensors mounted on each turbine, the system generates a forecast specific to each turbine on a wind farm. This helps the utility company provide as much energy as possible from clean sources.
