Follows a family's unplanned Cesarean birth from early labor through recovery. An obstetrician explains the Cesarean procedure and discusses ways to minimize risk. Shows the surgical procedure using 3-D animation. Presents information on breast-feeding and recovery, and how to make a Cesarean birth a fulfilling experience. NOTE: Concludes with graphic footage of an actual Cesarean surgery.
A humorous film that poses fundamental questions about the origins of man. Tells the story of the hunt for Bigfoot (also called Sasquatch) by four men who have been tracking this mythical creature for the last 40 years. Reveals their hardships, history, and battles to bring Bigfoot out of the woods and into the real world. Includes eyewitness accounts of sightings. Intercut with monster-movie footage.
Part of the "Chemistry in Action" series. Describes and illustrates the process of chemical bonding through live action footage and animations. Provides an overview of the role atomic structure plays in the process of bonding. Provides examples of how chemical bonding, including ionic bonds, covalent bonds, and metallic bonds, affects the characteristics of matter. Introduces the following terminology: element, atomic structure, energy level, valence electrons, ionic bonds, crystal lattice, covalent bond, and metallic bond.
Everyday, real-life examples demonstrate the processes of weathering and erosion. Easy-to-understand examples of weathering help students differentiate between the processes of mechanical and chemical weathering. Footage of weathering and erosion processes help students grasp how each process alters the environment. Important terminology includes: mechanical weathering, landslides, abrasion, freezing, thawing, chemical weathering, oxidation, acid rain, moving water, wind, and glaciers.
Part of a series that features a wide variety of video footage, photographs, diagrams, graphics, and labels. For this particular video, students will focus on how to appropriately dress when conducting experiments in a science lab. For example, students should always wear personal protective equipment. This includes aprons, safety glasses, and gloves. Part of the Science Video Vocab series.
In this program, viewers will travel the world and learn about the diversity of plants throughout the various land regions around the world. Graphics, animation, and live-action footage will assist students in identifying characteristics of various habitats on Earth. Students will learn how plants have adapted to live in polar regions, tundra, desert, grasslands, forests, and salt and freshwater habitats. Part of the "Way Cool Science" series.
This episode focuses on spooky science stories. One of the segments features footage from the bird prep lab at The Field Museum. Host Emily Graslie also discusses how animals are disease reservoirs, and how the incomplete notes of Dr. Elias Francis Shipman still haunts science today. Part of the "Natural News From The Field Museum" series. Please note this title shows animal dissection.
With recent advances in genetic and reproductive technology, couples can now rely on science to avoid giving birth to children with various genetic conditions. Explores the medical and ethical dilemmas that two couples face as they plan the birth of a child who may inherit their own genetic condition (dwarfism in one case, cystic fibrosis in the other). Bioethicists question the use of technology to ensure parents give birth only to a healthy child. NOTE: Includes footage of a baby being born via Caesarian section.
The geologic processes of mountain building, seafloor spreading and volcanoes are a few examples of the power of plate tectonics. Footage filmed on-location in Iceland, the Canadian Rockies, and Crater Lake help viewers understand the theory of plate tectonics. Colorful animations illustrate the movement of tectonic plates and the role this plays in the development of geologic features. Other terminology includes: theory of continental drift, mid-ocean ridge, plate boundaries, subduction, convergent boundary, and divergent boundary.
What happens to the body during sleep? Explores the mystery of REM sleep, shows a computer display of the waves that sweep across the brain during sleep, and presents extraordinary footage of a cat "acting out" its dreams. The analogy of comparing sleep to a ship on automatic pilot graphically illustrates how some functions must and do continue while the conscious brain is asleep.
Part of a series that features a wide variety of video footage, photographs, diagrams, graphics, and labels. For this particular video, students will focus on the correct methods to clean up and dispose of materials in a science lab. Students also learn how to safely clean up chemical spills. Part of the Science Video Vocab series.
Going green is worthwhile and good for the bottom line. Explore the profitable side of going green, and learn how to distinguish between what's hype and what's hip. Meet two college graduates who learned how to make a profit from the coffee grounds up.
Introduces water and its properties and uses. Shows water's three forms: liquid, gas, and solid and how it changes form through evaporation, condensation, and freezing. Emphasizes that all living things need water to survive. Demonstrates the water cycle and discusses ways people use this essential liquid.
What causes day and night? Why do we have seasons? Through easy-to-understand animations, as well as live-action video footage, these difficult concepts are easily explained. The rotation of Earth on its axis, and its revolution around the sun are the focus of this video. Colorful graphics illustrate the movement of our planet throughout the course of a year. Important terminology includes: axis, tilt, rotation, revolution, orbit, season, solstice, and equinox.
The eye is one of each human's major sense organs. It gathers light information and transforms it into a signal that is used by the brain to formulate an appropriate response. How does this process work? What are the structures involved, and what do they do? These questions are answered using a unique, integrated approach that combines the anatomy and function of the eye. Includes detailed footage of the dissection of the bovine eye.
Someone has stolen the legendary cyberbeast Choocroca from cybersite EcoHaven, and the only clue is the culprit’s footprint. The Cybesquad sets out to rescue the massive beast before Hacker can use it to take over Cyberspace. The team uses forensic science to locate the cyberbeast. Part of the "Cyberchase" series.
A hen has been kidnapped. The tracks Hanna and Olli discover lead them to believe that a bear is responsible. Following the footprints in the snow, the children find themselves in very close quarters with the presumed culprit. Part of "My Little Planet" series.
Gail Villanueva was born at Scolthorpe AFB, England. She came to the United States at the age of 4. She decided to pursue a lifelong dream of working for NASA and is a well-rounded employee with a vast array of experience at Kennedy Space Center. Part of the "Women@NASA" series.
James Watson and Francis Crick collected and interpreted key evidence to determine that DNA molecules take the shape of a twisted ladder—a double helix. The film presents the challenges, false starts, and eventual success of their bold chase. Watson relates what those early days in the Cavendish Laboratory were like, including his friendship with Crick and their shared ambition and passion. Rarely seen archival footage is combined with interviews with some of today’s leading scientists to bring this landmark discovery and all of its implications to life.
