What is a lab notebook? In this episode, host Alex Dainis explains how she uses lab notebook when conducting research. These notebooks are the primary record of research, and researchers use them to document their hypotheses, experiments, and analysis of experiments.
A scientist from NASA explains how to build an icy model of a comet, complete with shooting jets. This activity provides an opportunity for students to make observations, discuss changing states of matter, and demonstrate measuring skills. Part of the “DIY Space Classroom Activities” series.
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.
Part of a series that features a wide variety of video footage, photographs, diagrams and colorful, animated graphics and labels. Begins with a simple definition of the term and concludes with a critical thinking question. For this particular video, students will focus on the term energy. Part of the Science Video Vocab Series.
This episode describes the characteristics of five species: the ant lion, the mantis, the walking stick, the Luna moth, and the hickory horned devil (regal moth larva). It highlights insect life processes such as metamorphosis, molting, reproduction, physiology, camouflage, and predator-prey relationships. Part of the "Backyard Bugs & Other Arthropods" series.
Pumpkins! Every fall we carve them for jack-o'-lanterns, munch their seeds, and cook delicious things with them. But where do they come from? How do they grow? Close-up and time-lapse photography chart the growth of the pumpkin plant from sprouting seed to maturity. Danny Glover narrates in verse accompanied by George Winston's music.
Alibates Flint Quarries show the intersection of climate and geography, and its impact on Texan history and culture. For thousands of years, Native Americans came to the red bluffs above the Canadian River for flint. They used Alibates flint for spear points to hunt and had to dig it by hand.
1000-year-old Grandfather Tree shares his knowledge about rainforests' plant and animal life, destruction, and importance to world ecology. Voice of Ed Asner.
Dr. Chris embarks on an underwater adventure where he dives through a cavern to reach a unique spot teaming with vibrant fish and sharks. Then, he races alongside a pod of dolphins, and he even tries his hand at singing with them. Finally, Dr. Chris comes eye to eye with humpback whales. Part of "The Open Road With Dr. Chris" series.
A key to building denser, stronger materials that won’t fail or fracture under extreme conditions is the manufacture of ultra-high temperature, or UHT, ceramics. UHT ceramics can withstand highly extreme conditions, such as the heat coming out of a rocket as its launching into space. Part of the National Science Foundation Series “Science Nation.”
Offers commonsense tips and step-by-step demonstrations on dog care as an alternative to high veterinary bills. Highlights include: toenail maintenance; treating infections and cuts; eye, teeth, and ear care; dry and itchy skin; and dietary considerations. NOTE: Demonstrates how to empty anal glands.
The Caribbean Spiny Lobster has been a mainstay of Florida’s seafood industry for decades, but the harvest went off a cliff about a decade ago, declining about 30%, and has never rebounded. Biologists think the culprit is a virus called PaV1. University of Florida Ecologist Don Behringer wants to know how this pathogen has spread so far and so fast.
Mosquitoes are annoying pests. They can interrupt a backyard picnic, and their bites cause red, itchy bumps. These pests can also carry viruses that make humans sick. In this episode, learn how and why the invasive Asian tiger mosquito is even more problematic than other varieties. Part of the "Seasonal Science" series.
Hanna and Olli feel sad and disappointed when they find out a small neighborhood park is being dug up to make way for a parking lot. They visit it one last time, and an old oak tree unexpectedly gives them some hope for the future. Part of the "My Little Planet" series.
Towering gypsum dunes span hundreds of square miles in New Mexico's White Sands National Monument, and hundreds of animal species thrive in this unique ecosystem. The lizards living in White Sands National Monument have attracted biologists from the University of California, Berkeley. The lizards are undergoing adaptation and speciation on an extraordinarily rapid timescale. Part of the “Science Nation” series.
Researchers see promise in using an off-the-shelf fabric in athletic coaching and physical therapy, and another group of scientists are studying how pyroclastic flows defy friction. Other segments include new techniques to test for viral infections and the design of a new robot. Part of the "4 Awesome Discoveries You Probably Didn't Hear About This Week" series.
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
Some things die and decay and others don't. A walk in the park teaches that leaves, logs, and animals are examples of things that decay or rot. An elementary class buries apple, potato, and banana skins, bread, a plastic tray, and an aluminum can. They learn what decays and what will not. Some things that don't decay can be recycled; those that do, enrich the earth.
Scientists search the earth and sea for new medicines, knowing that half of today's curative preparations come from or contain ingredients from nature. Names some plants that provide components for familiar medications, and notes, for example, that 3,000 plants help control or fight different cancers. The research process to locate, refine, and test new drugs is long and complex. Natural substances from rain forests, marine life, and even soil have enormous potential for healing.
