In part six of the exploration of north Florida and south Georgia, children immerse themselves in turtles, frogs, fish, and butterflies found living along the Ochlockonee River. Part of the "Roaming the Red Hills" series.
Moko is an explorer. As he travels the world continent by continent, he makes many friends and discovers many natural phenomena which sometimes delight him, and other times scare him. Each animated episode recounts an adventure and takes an "original story" approach to explaining these natural phenomena. In this episode, intrigued by the name given to the mountains, "the hills of the round earth," Moko sets off to find out if the earth is really round. An old man tells him if he keeps walking straight, he could travel round the earth and get back to his starting point. Moko follows his advice but since he never got the feeling he was walking around a sphere, he still thinks the earth is flat.
In part three of the exploration of north Florida and south Georgia, a group of students go looking for the gopher tortoise. While at Birdsong Nature Center, they learn the importance of the turtles' burrows. Part of the "Roaming the Red Hills" series.
The Earth has many land formations such as mountains, plateaus, hills, and plains. These formations are created by movement of the earth’s plates, volcanoes, weather, and erosion. Part of the Real World Science series.
The geology of the Great Plains is a product of long periods of sedimentary buildup followed by equally long periods of erosion. The result today is a dramatic landscape of bluffs, pinnacles and badlands that contain the rich story, of ancient sea creatures, dinosaurs and long extinct, giant land mammals. The Agate Fossil Beds is a landscape that reflects many influences from early animals roaming the valleys and hills to tribal nations they call the High Plains home. Explorers passing through or settling the American West also have a part in the story.
Over 3500 years ago, a Minoan Community flourished on Santorini Island. Archeologists have discovered artifacts and frescos this Bronze Age civilizations left behind. Evidence from the archeological dig suggests the culprit of their demise was the Santorini Volcano. Further evidence supports that Santorini’s eruption was more massive and destructive than Vesuvius. Segment of video from Wild Chronicles Series.
Scientists locate dinosaur fossils in Mongolia's Gobi Desert. As they excavate the bones, a story of prehistoric life in the region emerges. A segment of video from Wild Chronicles Series.
Hagerman Fossil Beds National Monument in Idaho is home to over two hundred different species of fossil plants and animals: including saber tooth cat, mastodon, bear, camel, ground sloth, and many other species. Over 3,000 new fossil fragments are found each year.
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 terms day and night. Part of the Science Video Vocab Series.
Some of the world's best preserved fossils are found in the flat-topped ridges of southwestern Wyoming's cold sagebrush desert. Fossilized fishes, insects, plants, reptiles, birds, and mammals are exceptional for their abundance, variety, and detail of preservation. Most remarkable is the story they tell of ancient life in a sub-tropical landscape.
While visiting South Dakota’s Black Hills, visitors can immerse themselves in the third longest cave in the world. With over 173 miles of mapped and surveyed passages, this underground wilderness appeals to human curiosity and sense of exploration. Its splendor is revealed through fragile geologic formations and glimpses of brilliant color.
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.
Earth's landscape has a wide variety of physical features referred to as landforms. Characteristics of the major landforms are illustrated with footage from North America, including the Grand Canyon, Interior Plains, and the Rocky Mountains. Important terminology includes plain, relief, interior plain, coastal plain, plateau, mountain, hill, valley, canyon, beach, dune, sea cliff, sea stack, ocean, lake, bay, river, and creek.
What is the fire history of New Zealand's unique landscape? Scientists from around the globe converge on New Zealand's many lakes extracting sediment cores that tell the story of the country before and after the arrival of the Maori and European settlers. Part of WildFIRE PIRE series.
The colorful rock formations at John Day Fossil Beds preserve a world class record of plant and animal evolution, climate change, and ecosystems that span over 40 million years. With over 10,000 square miles of land, visitors can explore the prehistoric past of Oregon and see the impact of geologic forces on earth’s landscape.
Devils Tower is a flat-topped volcanic formation that looms more than 1,200 feet above Wyoming’s eastern plains and the Belle Fourche River. The geologic feature protrudes out of the rolling prairie that surrounds the Black Hills. The site is considered sacred to the Lakota and other tribes that have a connection to the area. Hundreds of parallel cracks make it one of the finest traditional crack climbing areas in North America.
Dr. Scott Wing spent a decade combing the hills in the Bighorn Basin of Wyoming to find fossil evidence of an extinction event that occurred in the Southern Ocean of Antarctica around 56 million years ago. In this episode, host Emily Graslie talks with him and Dr. Kirk Johnson about how studying the fossil record helps scientists better understand climate change. Part of "The Brain Scoop" series.
Sand particles from the Sahara desert have long been known to travel across the Atlantic Ocean and southward to the Amazon rain forest. These accumulations are known as dust carpets, and they form as water molecules adhere to the sand particles. As water and sand adheres to one another, they form droplets that accumulate into clouds. However, the Mongolian desert dust carpets present problems for ecosystems upon which it falls. This program explores the science behind the storms and their impact on global climate.
Already parts of the world suffer from lack of water, and with increasing demand it's expected to get worse. To better understand and predict drought, thirty universities are collaborating in a multidisciplinary effort called the Shale Hills Project. Among the studies, is field research following the life cycle of water along the Susquehanna River Basin. With support from the National Science Foundation, civil engineer Chris Duffy and his team at Penn State are tracking several aspects of rainfall to better understand the relationship between the flow of water, drought prone areas, and urban populations.
