What is the information "superhighway" really all about? Communications engineers at GTE and US WEST provide a remarkably clear introduction to the basic concepts of the digital communications revolution. Demonstrates how 1s and 0s represent graphics, video, and even sounds.
Can people in remote rural areas who are far from electric generating plants get power for their lights and appliances? Solar cells make it possible. Mechanical and electrical engineers at the US Department of Energy's Sandia National Laboratories take viewers through the process of designing and installing solar cell panels in remote locations.
Can we bring back species that are on the brink of extinction? A Native American wildlife biologist Robert Mesta, with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, combines scientific training and traditional Indian values to help bring the Arizona bald eagle off the "endangered species" list.
What does it take to estimate how much water a large city will need 25 years into the future? The chief of urban water conservation for the state of California explains the challenges of supplying water to a growing population of millions, much of which lives in the desert.
It's cold; it's dark. The pressure is immense. A pilot and scientist from the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute navigate a remotely operated deep-sea vehicle through underwater canyons, filming the ocean floor and collecting samples.
To traverse the surface of the Moon or Mars, a vehicle must be able to think for itself. At NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory's testing ground, a team of scientists demonstrates the rover that will soon wander over the Martian landscape.
How do you plot a course to Mars, from one moving planet to another? What are the impacts of space travel on the body and can human beings survive the trip? Looks at the plans for a flight to the Red Planet.
Living and nonliving things make up the world. Students will learn how living things interact with each other and with nonliving things in an ecosystem.
Dr. Jesse Barber of Boise State University headed to Gorongosa National Park to study the predator-prey interactions between bats and moths. Several of his experiments reveal the strategies that the Gorongosa moths use to avoid being eaten by bats.
Athletes demonstrate their flexibility in this look at our ingeniously designed muscular-skeletal system. Discusses muscle and bone interaction, their structure, purpose, and function. Comments on technological studies on motion.
Do animals change their behavior when humans hike through the forest or move next door? Scientists looking to answer this question are relying on webcams. They are hoping to gather data to pinpoint adaptations in animal behavior related to human interaction.
Part of the Project-Based Inquiry Science "Earth Science Content Videos" series. Modules include the following: "Mantle Simulation: Hot Water in Cup," "Mantle Simulation: Cold Water in Cup," "Mantle Simulation: Cardboard," and "Plate Interaction Animations."
This UNC TV segment explores the intricate interactions between organisms which are the building blocks of the freshwater ecosystem. These include the relationships between insects and the environment, predator and prey, water and organic waste, and nutrients and underground channels.
The Australian Koala Foundation works diligently to educate authorities about the probable destruction of this familiar animal. Closeup photography reveals its habitat, social structure, characteristics, mating habits, and interaction. Compromises between the needs of people and the eucalyptus habitat needs of the koalas mean hope for its future.
Investigates the major body systems that are important during physical activity: the skeletal, muscular, cardiovascular, respiratory, and nervous systems. Examines each of these systems, their parts, their functions, and how they work. Also, explores the contribution and interaction of the systems when we exercise and while we are rest.
Innovative projects, software and hardware innovation, interaction between experts and amateurs, small social universe around technology where what appears distant is only a step away and where you learn something new every day; that's Campus Party. Nerdo Cavernas reveals all aspects of the fifth season of this international event held in Bogotá, Colombia.
In this episode, marine biologists take a close look at microscopic images of "super corals." The images reveal a dynamic interaction between colorful algae and the coral they inhabit. Part of the "Super Corals" series.
Fittle is an accessible learning toolset for visually challenged kids, in the form of a playful puzzle. By feeling braille letters embossed on the word blocks, and then feeling the shape that s/he has fit together, the kid can touch what the object might feel like in real.

Maritime archaeology is a discipline within archaeology that specifically studies human interaction with oceans, lakes, and rivers through the study of artifacts. Researchers trace the historical aspects of human dependence and influences on bodies of water. Some areas of interest include harvested goods from the sea, fishing techniques, transportation, and water quality. Part of the "Adventures of a Maritime Archaeologist" series.
