In this clip, health food advocate Anna Lappé explains how farmers use practices that are sustainable and protect the environment. Part of the Nourish Short Films Series.
Students learn the fundamental principles of ecology. They distinguish between the different types of living and non-living things found in an ecosystem. Other terminology includes ecology, ecosystem, community, population, habitat, niche, biotic factors, abiotic factors, producer, consumer, decomposer, predator, prey, energy, and food chain.

A team conducts different experiments with food substances to show the chemical reactions that take place when exposed to air, heat, or extreme cold. They provide a close up on cooking technology and food chemistry from the kitchen of a restaurant. Part of Invisible Science and Technology Surrounding Series.
How does marine debris impact the ocean? Marine species often get tangled in debris from fishing nets to six-pack rings. Often times, many animals mistake plastic debris for food and eat it. This fills their stomachs with material they are unable to digest. Debris can also damage important ocean habitats. Part of the "Trash Talk" series.
Mr. Charlie introduces three children to the people who keep the zoo operating smoothly. The zookeeper and crew make sure the animals have food and water and that the grounds and cages are clean. The nutritionist is responsible for food storage and preparation, while the vet keeps the animals healthy. Exhibit builders work hard to provide the animals with as natural a habitat as possible. The children learn there are many different jobs at the zoo.
In Australia, scientists have found dolphins using tools to find food. The bottlenose dolphin has been observed covering their beaks with basket sponges as they forage for food. The sponge helps them uncover fish hiding in the sandy sea bottom and protects their snouts from scrapes and stings. Part of the "News of the Day" series.
Nourish is an educational initiative designed to open a meaningful conversation about food and sustainability, particularly in schools and communities. In this clip, author Michael Pollan defines genetically engineered foods. Part of the Nourish Short Films Series.
Yellowstone National Park is a world of predators, scavengers and opportunists. In this vast and complex kingdom, two dominant predators reign supreme: the grizzly bear and the wolf. Size and power square off against speed and teamwork, as mighty grizzly bears contend with powerful packs of wolves for control of the food supply. As these two fierce competitors test their strategies for survival against each other, an entire food chain of scavengers survive in their wake.
Nourish is an educational initiative designed to open a meaningful conversation about food and sustainability, particularly in schools and communities. In this clip, author Michael Pollan discusses the positive impacts to the environment when consumers eat locally grown foods. Part of the Nourish Short Films Series.
Algae play a vital role in the marine ecosystem. They provide food for all sorts of species, but in rare instances, they can also do harm. Harmful algal blooms occur when colonies of certain types of algae grow out of control and produce toxins that enter the food chain through fish and shellfish. Eventually, the toxins can kill larger marine animals like sea lions, manatees, turtles, and dolphins. It also makes shellfish unsafe for human consumption.
Agriculture isn't just about sowing the land; it's about finding solutions to modern problems facing the food supply. With farmland shrinking and a hungry population growing, researchers at UC Davis are working to ensure an abundant food supply. In this episode, students will learn about the "100-year experiment" and meet the first graduates of a brand new major. Part of the "9 Billion Mouths to Feed: The Future of Farming" series.
Genetic modification of organisms and cloning is controversial. Looks at the way humanity has modified genomes of plants and animals used for food since the dawn of agriculture. As knowledge of cells and genetics has increased, so has humanity's ability to alter genomes. Shows animations of how genetic engineers are now able to construct and insert genes for desirable characteristics into plants and how technology is used to increase numbers of animals with desirable traits and screen out those with disease or lower food yields.
What do chimpanzees, Kodiak bears, and elephants eat? How do they get their food? Three children explore the similarities and differences between themselves and animals and the foods they eat. Shows closeups of animals eating and drinking, but focuses on chimps, bears, and elephants. Covers other characteristics of these three animals in addition to what they eat.
Gabriela, Manuel and Leonardo are three friends who accidentally start a rocket that takes them to space. Their journey through space takes them to different planets and strange worlds. Throughout their journey, they have the help of Maqui, an on-board computer. Maqui helps them learn about the universe. Leo discovers that there is no more food in the spaceship. The three friends, with Maqui’s help, hurry to locate food. They arrive at a strange planet with a frozen surface. They soon discover that its inhabitants live under the ice.
