Where do baby animals come from? What do they look like? A family visits a farm in spring and learns the answers. Shows a duckling hatch and a lamb and calf being born. Viewers decide which creatures are born from eggs and which are born live. Later that spring, the family has a new baby.
One of the fifteen parts of the "Farm to Market" series. Begins at the ranch, where sheep and angora goats are sheared of their woolly fleece. Demonstrates the wool as it is sorted, carded, stretched, and spun into yarn before it is finally woven into fabric on a loom.
A food science professor discusses the chemistry and physics of food preparation and cooking. She also gives an overview of a food science laboratory and its equipment.
One of the fifteen parts of the "Farm to Market" series. Begins with a trip to the dairy farm to see how cows are cared for and fed. Demonstrates how the cows are milked by machine and how the milk is processed and transported. Also shows how milk is made into cheese and butter.
Two young science students learn about measuring energy through calorimetry. They conduct experiments to measure the amount of energy in hay.
In biology, a chimera is a single organism whose body is made from parts of two or more genetically distinct individuals of the same species. Biological chimeras were once thought to be rare, but modern genetics has shown that these genetic mashups are more common than previously thought. Part of the "It's Okay to Be Smart" series. Please note this title discusses human reproduction.

Parakeet talks about the importance of water for animals. Amanda chokes on an "almojabana" (cheese roll) and asks for a glass of water, but is told there is no water. The first guest, the wolf, says he could not finish bathing because the water ran out; he is still full of soap. He accuses the duck of using up all the water because she's always wet. The duck explains she, too, has no water, and someone else must be responsible for the drought in the forest. The fleas show a documentary on water and explain how humans waste it thinking it will never end. Ludovico interview some otters. The celebrity guest, Crispiano Donaldo, says his team lost a soccer game because he drank all the water and left his teammates dehydrated.
Since the time of the ancient Greeks, humans have been using spider silk to dress wounds. Scientists now know spider webs not only have healing qualities, they can be stronger than steel. University of Wyoming Molecular Biologist Randy Lewis adds an almost science fiction aspect to the study of spider silk: making large quantities of it by “growing it” in goat’s milk. With funding from the National Science Foundation, Lewis has cloned and sequenced genes for the proteins that make up five different spider silks, some stronger than Kevlar, others more elastic than nylon.
