Why do owls have heads shaped like a satellite dish? And why are their eyes so large. These are just a few of their anatomical features that enable to capture prey. But various species have also adapted to varied climates to chase their prey. Segment of video from Wild Chronicles Series.
Explores the open savannahs of Africa, particularly the mammals that inhabit them and the trees that border the grasslands. Shows how the different animals interact with each other and the non-living elements of their habitat to maintain a healthy balance. Also investigates the threat from an increasing human population for homes, food, other resources, and the resultant threat to the survival of many animal groups. Looks at international breeding programs around the world, which were established to protect these animals and enable them to reproduce in captivity, so their gene pool is preserved.
Oyster reefs protect shorelines from erosion, create fish habitats, and clean the water. Scientists in North Carolina are working to restore the oyster reefs along the coast.
Go behind the scenes with Angelina and investigate the equipment and engineering skills needed to recreate ocean habitats. Explore a typical workspace of an aquarium and get a feel for the everyday problem solving skills needed as an aquarist. Part of the "Aquarist" series.
Ten 10-minute programs explore temperate and tropical habitats and their abundant diversity of life. Tape one: compares temperate and tropical forests, their habitats, the effects of rain on them, and shows how size can generate great diversity. Tape two: uses butterflies to represent species diversity, compares how people relate to temperate and tropical environments, explores humans' impact on diversity, and investigates issues of threatened and endangered species.
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.
Part of the "Life in Aquatic Environments" series. Shows the variety of body forms and structures found in an environment ripped by waves. Examines structural, chemical, and behavioral adaptations that protect animals in this crowded environment. Looks at adaptations used to harvest the abundant food sources of the shore. Provides an overview of asexual and sexual strategies and the importance of larval development in the plankton. Reveals complex webs of life living in these accessible habitats.
Students learn the unique features of reptiles by viewing footage of snakes, lizards, and turtles in their natural habitats. Concepts and terminology include cold-blooded, scales, shell, and eggs.
Why are plants important to life? What makes a plant a plant? Investigates their general characteristics as well as major groups, habitats, and predecessors. Includes video questions, a review, and a quiz.
Ecological succession is the gradual process by which ecosystems change and develop over time. In this episode, Pinky and Petunia discuss how nothing remains the same and habitats are constantly changing. Part of "The Amoeba Sisters" series.
High school student Kylee Sipowski has a plan to help polar bears. Global warming is impacting their habitats, and she networks with students, her local community, and international organizations to spread her message of conservation.
Discusses the various body structures that enable microorganisms to move and function in their habitats. One of nine segments in a series, with all nine available on a DVD.
Photographers and researchers travel to Borneo’s rainforests and document its disappearance. They also highlight the effects of deforestation on animals and their habitats. Segment of video from Wild Chronicles Series.
