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.
Drawn by a dense population of the largest bears in the world, wildlife expert Casey Anderson flies to Kodiak Island, Alaska. He wants to see firsthand how these predators hunt and compete during the annual salmon run. Part of the "Expedition Wild" series.
The scientists explore the absorbency of rice. They will also create a pendulum wave machine and make the perfect paper plane. Part of the House of Science Series.
A hurricane hunter is a pilot that flies an airplane into the middle of a hurricane. They gather data on temperature, humidity, and air pressure. This data is critical for forecasting the intensity and path of hurricanes. Part of the "NOAA Ocean Today" series.
Part of the animated "Johan, the Young Scientist" series. Johan seeks clarification from Professor Hoo about how chickens could really be birds. After setting him, Ani, and Moki straight about birds, and how some can fly and some can't, Professor Hoo sends them on an adventure to find a unique bird that flies, but not in the air.
When Genoveva opens her magic book, the screen is filled with feathers, beaks, horns, legs, wings, and snouts.

In this episode, Genoveva travels with her magic book and flies all over the world with this little bird.
Aeronautics is the science of flight as well as the theory and practice of aircraft navigation. Any machine that flies through the air falls into the field of aeronautics. This includes helicopters, airplanes, as well as space vehicles such as the SpaceX Dragon and the retired NASA space shuttles. Aerodynamics is a branch of physical science which deals with the motion of air and the way that it interacts with objects in motion.
When Genoveva opens her magic book, the screen is filled with feathers, beaks, horns, legs, wings, and snouts. Genoveva's magic book transports her to various habitats where she learns about the animals that live there. It walks, swims, and flies. It is a singer with a beak and feathers. It enjoys traveling, hates the winter and lives among the reeds of peaceful lagoons. What bird will Genoveva discover in this episode?
Humans have always been intrigued by the idea of flight. Experiments with Hot Air Balloons led to a pig and duck being the first air travel passengers. From there, the Wright Brothers created the first airplane, and aviation was off to the races. From the jet engine and military aircraft to passenger planes, worldwide travel is now a matter of hours rather than days or weeks.
Episode one explores what hurricanes are, how they are formed, and how the specialists try to predict whether the next storm will blow over or blow the roof off. Featuring interviews with some of the world’s leading hurricane experts, this episode looks at the latest theories and the most advanced technologies that are being used to hone the forecasts. While a fearless team of Hurricane Hunter pilots flies into the eye of each approaching storm, their data is supplemented by information from satellites, drones, and even fish. Part of "Hurricane, the Anatomy" series.
