It is Fletcher's first autumn, and he is alarmed when the leaves on his favorite tree start to turn brown and fall off. He tries day after day to save the leaves that the tree is losing to the wind. When the tree has no leaves left, Fletcher goes to bed in despair. However, after a cold night, Fletcher wakes up to see his tree sparkling as he has never seen it before. Based on the children's book by Julia Rawlinson.
What happens when a whale dies? This short piece explores the concept of decay, and the role decay plays in giving life to other organisms.
Moko is an explorer. As he travels the world continent by continent, he makes many friends and discovers many natural phenomena which sometimes delight him, and other times scare him. Each animated episode recounts an adventure and takes an "original story" approach to explaining these natural phenomena. In this episode, soaring over the desert, Moko and Totemie finally see the blue expanse of the ocean. Then a string of tiny islands covered in green and white. Fascinated by the view, they don't notice the wind picking up. As the wind gets stronger it shakes their kite and Totemie lets go, and Moko lets go as well so she won't fall alone. They fall into the water in a beautiful lagoon which they discover together, their courage rewarded.
At the twilight of an active life, Anna is now bedridden due to a serious fall. What makes the elderly--even those who are in full possession of their mental and physical faculties--more prone to falling than younger people? As this program demonstrates, the answer lies not in the body or the brain alone, but in their interconnection. Exploring Anna's past dreams of becoming a ballerina, the film shows how complex physical motion, such as dancing or even typing, requires sophisticated coordination between the body's neural, muscular, and skeletal systems. How aging affects such coordination and how new artificial limb technology enables movement are running themes in the program.
Moko is an explorer. As he travels the world continent by continent, he makes many friends and discovers many natural phenomena which sometimes delight him, and other times scare him. Each animated episode recounts an adventure and takes an "original story" approach to explaining these natural phenomena. In this episode, the storm has passed and Moko's raft is approaching a new shore. He has never seen this white sand beach and wonders where he might be. Moko wanders off to find inhabitants of this new place. Along his route he passes plants with enormous leaves and at the other end of his path, the beach once again! How is this possible? What is the secret of this strange islandy? Night falls and Moko falls asleep convinced that he is the first traveler to discover the ocean's secret island.
Every fall, male tarantulas leave home looking for a female's den. However, his journey is filled with several obstacles including the dangers posed from their potential mate. Part of the "Deep Look" 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.
Documentary records Project Puffin, the successful effort to repopulate Seal Island, Maine, with Atlantic puffins and terns. Notes their life, behaviors, and mating during the summer before fall migration. Also remarks on the interdependence of terns and puffins. Biologists comment.
A simple dispute between two small animals grows into a violent struggle that disrupts everyone around them. As they battle over "territory," these two small animals realize that their conflict affects not just them, but their whole environment.
Fruits and vegetables are filled with a host of health-promoting benefits, but often times individuals fall short on their daily servings. Join food and health professionals as they discuss the power and health benefits of fruits and vegetables.
Part of the "Active Physics, Third Edition" series. Contains the following sections: "Using Models: Intersections with a Yellow Light," "Sports Montage Introduction," "Conservation of Energy: Defy Gravity," "Safety Montage Introduction," "Acceleration Due to Gravity: Free Fall on the Moon," and "Modeling Human Motion: Bounding on the Moon."
Host Alex Dainis explains why leaves change colors during the fall. She examines the different colors of leaf pigments by using chromatography. In this experiment, viewers are able to see the various colors of pigments found in leaves.
Students meet the world's fastest cheetah, Sarah. They also learn how cheetahs have adapted to survive in their savanna habitat. Then, they make predictions about how fast cheetahs can run. Part of the "You at the Zoo" series.
Pumpkins! Every fall we carve them for jack-o'-lanterns, munch their seeds, and cook delicious things with them. But where do they come from? How do they grow? Close-up and time-lapse photography chart the growth of the pumpkin plant from sprouting seed to maturity. Luis Valdez narrates in verse accompanied by George Winston's music.
Hanna and Olli follow a mushroom that is racing to see a very rare sight. They are led through mile after mile of forest to the ancient and sacred Oak, but they fall asleep before they witness an amazing transformation. Part of the "My Little Planet" series.
A string of gumballs all the same color mysteriously fall out of a gumball machine. Yana and Egbert set out to explore this phenomena. This episode explores the relationship between samples, populations, random sampling, and selective sampling. Part of the "Yana & Egbert" series.
Pumpkins! Every fall we carve them for jack-o'-lanterns, munch their seeds, and cook delicious things with them. But where do they come from? How do they grow? Close-up and time-lapse photography chart the growth of the pumpkin plant from sprouting seed to maturity. Danny Glover narrates in verse accompanied by George Winston's music.
A chemical reaction is a process that leads to the chemical transformation of one set of chemical substances to another. Topics covered include precipitation reactions, oxidation-reduction reactions, kinetics, equilibrium, and nuclear reactions. Part of the "Chemistry" series.
The Standard Deviants discuss two-dimensional kinematics and motion in a plane. They also look at the role gravity plays in projectile motion and highlight some important equations for figuring out projectile motion and uniform circular motion. Part of the "Standard Deviants School: Physics" series.
