Living green is something many of us strive for in today's world, but did you know that you can die green as well? Set in the foothills of the Appalachians, the film explores one man's vision of using green burials to conserve land. Dr. Billy Campbell, the town's only physician, has radically changed our understanding of burials in the United States. Dr. Campbell's dream is to conserve one million acres of land. This film focuses on the revolutionary idea of using our own death to fund land conservation and create wildlife preserves.

Throughout the world, innovative thinkers and entrepreneurs are transforming their communities, making the dream of sustainable living a reality. The United Kingdom's push for sustainable housing developments raises awareness of energy efficiency and promotes eco-friendly home design. Cement alternatives developed in Australia reduce the carbon footprint for concrete production by 60%. Two industrial designers from Colombia are creating fashion items from recycled tires. In the Philippines, the inventor of coconut fiber nets shows how his company helps prevent devastating mudslides in the region and provides employment to locals.
Scientists in the Netherlands are working on creating man made meat. They are attempting to grow hamburger meat in a test tube.
These days it seems everything is going green including roofs. With funding from the National Science Foundation, Patricia Culligan of Columbia University is studying green roofs, from their effects on storm water runoff and carbon dioxide absorption to claims they impact local climate and save energy.
Features a wide variety of video footage, photographs, diagrams and colorful, animated graphics and labels. Begins with a simple definition, and this helps clarify pronunciation and provides opportunities to transfer words from working to long-term memory. Also concludes with a critical thinking question. For this particular clip, students will focus on nonliving.
In this episode, Sheryl welcomes guests who discuss the importance of providing students with health school lunches. She also talks with two friends who promote the benefits of composting left over foods. Last, another guest demonstrates the use of push molds in crafting.
Scientist He Jiankui will likely go down in history as the first human to genetically engineer another living person. In this segment, host Trace Dominguez talks with Hank Green about the science and ethical issues of genetically altering humans. Part of the "Uno Dos of Trace" series.
Features a wide variety of video footage, photographs, diagrams and colorful, animated graphics and labels. Begins with a simple definition, and this helps clarify pronunciation and provides opportunities to transfer words from working to long-term memory. Also concludes with a critical thinking question. For this particular clip, students will focus on food chain.
Climb aboard the Cyclops, a microscopic research vessel, and investigate an amazing hidden world on which all living things depend. The Cyclops houses a team of scientists known as the Micronauts and guides them through their discoveries of biological classification, diversity, and ecology. In this clip, the Micronauts explore the process of photosynthesis. They conduct experiments using paramecium by observing the green algae cells within its body. Through their experiments, they realize the in the presence of light, the green cells generate oxygen and food molecules. Part 2 of the Microscopic Monsters Series.
Part of the "Branches on the Tree of Life" series. The bacteria section uses compelling microscopy of living bacteria to examine their structure, physiology, behavior, and the vital roles these microbes play in the biosphere.
Montana State University plant pathologist Gary Strobel travels the seven continents to collect samples of endophytes. Endophytes are microorganisms that live within the living tissue of a plant. With support from the National Science Foundation, Strobel, engineer Brent Peyton and their team, have discovered that endophytes have the ability to make diesel-like fuel. And, amazingly, it takes the team just a few weeks to create the fuel. Part of the National Science Foundation Series "Science Nation."
Climb aboard the Cyclops, a microscopic research vessel, and investigate an amazing hidden world on which all living things depend. The Cyclops houses a team of scientists known as the Micronauts and guides them through their discoveries of biological classification, diversity, and ecology. In this episode, the crew continues to observe a variety of bacteria. They discover that bacteria is the food of choice for large single celled protists in the pond. Their observations lead them to make conclusions about the food chain found in the pond. Part 6 of the Microscopic Monsters Series.
Climb aboard the Cyclops, a microscopic research vessel, and investigate an amazing hidden world on which all living things depend. The Cyclops houses a team of scientists known as the Micronauts and guides them through their discoveries of biological classification, diversity, and ecology. While navigating the dense aquatic weed forest of the pond, the Cyclops is pulled off course by a hydra. After escaping its tentacles, the crew begins to study how the hydra reproduces, captures its food, and digests its prey. One of the Micronauts takes a journey inside the hydra’s digestive system to get a first-hand account of the digestive process. Part 4 of the Microscopic Monsters Series.
A green roof can certainly make a building look nicer, but can it lower energy requirements and improve water management? Engineer Jelena Srebric and horticulturist Rob Berghage are working on a project to measure and model how a green roof affects the way buildings use energy and water. The researchers hope that architects will someday use their model to make building designs even greener.
Part of the "Green Careers" series. Explores the exciting contest underway to design greener products of all sorts. Explains the job responsibilities of an architect, interior designer, industrial engineer, and product designer within a myriad of businesses and fields. This contest will reward those who can envision or help create the "greenest" inventions to use tomorrow. Jobs profiled include the following: architect, interior designer, consultant, and landscape designer
Join the "Biz Kids" on a mission and discover your impact on the environment. Explore different ways to become part of the green economy and learn how there's green to be made in thinking green. Take a ride on the "The Big Green Bus" and find out how to turn poop into profits with "Zoo Doo."
Part of the "Green Careers" series. Presents an overview of job opportunities in this booming industry where there is a high demand for trained professionals, designers, and workers to help improve the efficiency of commercial and residential buildings through better design of new buildings and smart improvements to existing structures. Jobs profiled include the following: solar installer, lighting technician, and energy auditor.
There are millions of different kinds of living things on the planet. Grouping them is not an easy task. This video explores this process and investigates some of the major groups of living things.
Recapitulates and reviews the principal messages of the curriculum as it summarizes the functions and designs of the body's major systems and organs and the methods by which they interact. NOTE: Contains some nudity.
