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, when Moko sees a shooting star zip right over the mountaintops, he wonders whether there isn't someone over there making stars. He goes to the mountain and finds a woman tending a huge fire. Thousands of sparks fly out of the fire and rise, twinkling, into the sky. He thinks he has discovered the secret of the star sprinkler.

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, it is night time and Moko is watching the shooting stars from Totemie's village and is remembering how he once thought that a lady blew the stars in the sky from the embers of her bonfire. And suddenly, an immense star, a huge ball of fire, appears from the sky and falls to the depths of the forest. Totemie and Moko take off to see where the meteorite has landed and discover that a huge flaming rock has made a hole the size of a volcano's crater in the ground and is setting fire to the forest around it. Totemie is scared that the sky is angry and Moko, who remembers Mei Li begins to dance like she did while playing Alarick's flute. It begins to rain and slowly the flames die down. Moko thinks that the clouds must have seen him dance and heard his flute and come to save his new friend's land.
Host Alex Dainis discuses the science behind striking a match. She explains how the chemical components of matches and the striking surface work together to produce fire.
This episode explores the timing of when dogs first became domesticated. Most scientists agree that it took thousands of years to develop the deep bond between humans and dogs. Part of the "Eons" series.
Capulin Volcano National Monument was born of fire and forces continually reshaping its surface. It’s a dramatic landscape of mountains, plains, and sky and provides access to some of nature’s most awe-inspiring work in New Mexico.
Experiments show the production and properties of carbon dioxide and its use as a fire extinguisher. The second part demonstrates the effect of surface area, temperature, and concentration on chemical reaction rates.
From cooking food to enjoying the warmth of a fire, chemical reactions happen every day. Students learn the major characteristics and types of chemical reactions. Additional concepts and terminology discussed include: reactants, products, physical and chemical changes, chemical equation, reaction rate, and indicators of chemical reactions.
The Standard Deviants explore volcanoes and what causes them to erupt. They also discuss lava, pyroclastic materials, and the Ring of Fire. Then, it's time for a discussion on weathering. Part of "The Rockin' World of Geology" series.
Investigates the major body systems that are important during physical activity: the skeletal, muscular, cardiovascular, respiratory, and nervous systems. Examines each of these systems, their parts, their functions, and how they work. Also, explores the contribution and interaction of the systems when we exercise and while we are rest.
Part of the Project-Based Inquiry Science "Earth Science Content Videos" series. Modules include the following: "Introduction: Demolition Derby," "Fire Syringe Demonstration," "Formation of the Moon Animation," "Doppler Shift: Train Whistles," "Kepler: A Search for Habitable Planets," and "A Hubble Space Telescope Discovery."
Something is growing inside of fruit flies. At dusk, a fly points its wings straight up and dies in a gruesome pose so that a fungus can ooze out and fire hundreds of reproductive spores. At Harvard, Carolyn Elya is trying to understand how this fungus takes over the fly's brain. Part of the "Deep Look" series.
What is the largest living thing on earth? What are the four levels of a forest? Bill Nye explores a forest, its purpose, and its by-products. Visit different kinds of forests, a timberline, and a forest fire.
The roaring '20s marked a decade of unprecedented prosperity. It's no wonder the inventions that defined the 1920s are all about entertainment and convenience. Motion picture and television are two of the greatest inventions since sliced bread - both of which were invented during this time. Other inventions featured include the rocket, the lie detector, and Einstein's refrigerator.
In this episode, host Emily Graslie explores the living structures of various insects. Some of the insects discussed include: fire ants, carpenter ants, stinging ants, weaver ants, paper wasps, gall wasps, potter wasps, mud daubers, and termites. Part of "The Brain Scoop" series.
The body's best offense against microorganisms is its immune system. But what is it and how does it work? Why does it sometimes work against us? Discusses the non-specific (skin, tears, saliva, mucus, stomach acid) and specific (lymphatic system, spleen, thymus, bone marrow) defenses that keeps us healthy. Describes some autoimmune diseases and various marrow-produced cells.
From enjoying the warmth of a fire to baking a cake, people benefit from chemical changes every day. This program illustrates and explains numerous examples of chemical changes. It also takes a look at some of the common characteristics of reactions that occur chemically. Concepts and terminology explored include: physical change, chemical change, reaction, color change, gas, and heat.
Through descriptions of actual volcanic and earthquake occurrences, students will discover how these dynamic forces affect the world. This video discusses the nature and causes of earthquakes and volcanoes. Other topics covered include molten rock, magma, lava, cinder cone, shield volcano, composite volcano, caldera, Ring of Fire, seismic waves, seismograph, and Richter scale.
In this episode, a team of scientists, ranging from biologists to volcanologists, embark on an international expedition to the Mariana Arc on the Pacific Rim of Fire. Each day they make new discoveries about outlandish deep-sea dwellers and dramatic underwater volcanoes. But even as the scientists catalog these new findings, industrial fisheries are delving further into deep waters in an attempt to replace diminishing fish stocks. Part of the "One Ocean" series.
Scorched by their proximity to the sun, Mercury and Venus are hostile worlds. One is gouged with craters from cosmic collisions, and the other is a vortex of sulfur, carbon dioxide, and acid rain. Prime examples of planets gone awry, do they serve as a warning for ominous scenarios that might someday threaten Earth? Cutting-edge computer graphics are used to show what life would be on other planets and to imagine what kind of life forms might evolve in alien atmospheres.
Modern emails, pagers, faxes, and cell phones! It's all about communication with Timeblazers Sam and Jen, who travel back to test out different communication methods. The message-in-a-bottle tactic proves it could be a long wait before the tide comes in to carry the bottle to sea. It wasn't that long ago that to "log on" meant to throw a log on the fire to send smoke signals. There was the Pony Express and horse-drawn stagecoaches in the 1800s. Then came carrier pigeons, the telegraph, telephones, the Post Office, and overnight delivery.
