Part of the “Think Like a Scientist” series.
Philanthropist Greg Carr describes his work reviving a national park in Mozambique, and his partnership with scientists at Princeton University. Biologist Rob Pringle, who conducts research in Gorongosa, explains what it means to think like a scientist in conservation biology. Part of the “Think Like a Scientist” series.
A boy and his dog have a pet frog, and the frog lives in frog luxury, with its own toy boat and a little frog-sized platform for diving into the wading pool. Still, it persists in behaving like a frog. When the boy and dog find their pet is gone, they set out to find the frog. At the end, the frog meets other frogs, and the boy and the dog find the frog among its frog friends and learn to accept that the frog is happiest in its own environment. Based on a book by Mercer Mayer.
A boy takes his two pets-a dog and a frog-to the park. While the boy is busy chasing his dog, the frog takes the opportunity to hop out of its basket and explore. Its first adventure is a ride in a toy truck that's being pulled by a little girl. The boy and dog hunt for the frog. Meanwhile, the frog joins the act of a street magician, hides in a picnic basket, takes a ride in a toy motorboat, and jumps into a baby's carriage. The baby's mother summons the park police, but the boy and dog rescue their amphibian friend just in time. Based on a book by Mercer Mayer.
Increasing the time of a collision from a tenth of a second to two tenths of a second can make a huge difference in the number of "G's" a driver experiences. The car, the track, the seat belts, and seat construction spread out the force of impact and save lives. Part of "The Science of Speed" series.
