A tiny kitten has been found abandoned, and Dr. Chris is shocked at the extent of her injuries. She desperately needs surgery to repair her shattered leg. Then, it’s a heartwarming search to find her a new home. Part of the "Dr. Chris Pet Vet" series.
Marine debris comes from many different sources and enters the ocean in many ways. Intentional littering and dumping are big causes. Sometimes the trash goes directly into the ocean, and sometimes marine debris is indirectly generated in a city hundreds of miles from the ocean. When someone litters on the street or parking lot, rainwater can move the trash into storm drains that empty into streams, rivers, and other bodies of water. Improper or careless waste disposal also contributes to this environmental concern. Part of the "Trash Talk" series.
Marvie made her own unique animal. She combined a snuggly kitty, a flying bird, and a swimming fish. Part of the "Marvie" series.
Part of the animated "Johan, the Young Scientist" series. Johan wonders why Kitty the cat doesn't like to eat vegetables. Professor Hoo tells them that some animals are herbivores, some are carnivores, and some are omnivores. He then sends the young scientists on an adventure to find the largest omnivore on land.
When it comes to animals, Dr. Oakley will do anything to protect their offspring. She receives calls to help care for a soon-to-be caribou mother and a litter of lynx kittens. Her mission is to make sure the next generation of wildlife grows up safe and healthy. Part of the "Wilderness Vet" series.
Self-taught scientists and engineers, Wilbur and Orville Wright taught the world how to fly and are one of America’s greatest success stories. Their first successful flight, on North Carolina's Outer Banks, took place in December 1903. Next, they returned to Dayton, Ohio and continued to develop and test the world's first practical airplane.
The diversity of rotifers is stunning, and many different species are overviewed. Planktonic rotifers have special adaptations for open water life. Nematodes (roundworms) include a number of important human parasites, seldom seen but easily found. Tree moss, leaf litter, and compost piles swarm with nematodes.
Dr. Chris volunteers to care for some animals at the Kyabram Veterinary Clinic while visiting an old friend. At the clinic, he helps a dog struggling to deliver a litter of puppies. Also, some police dogs stop by SASH (Small Animal Specialist Hospital) to donate blood to help the veterinary clinic in times of need. Part of the Dr. Chris Pet Vet series.
Pollution is waste material produced from human activities. It impacts the environment in a negative way. Explores how pollution can affect the air, water, and land in the form of gases, liquids, and solids. Substances that constitute pollution in the environment include: greenhouse gases (CO2, smog, and industrial emissions), oil, blue/green algae, plastic, litter, dog poop, and fertilizer. Also explores how a sustainable future depends upon individuals and society minimizing pollution by making informed and responsible decisions when choosing consumer items.
With support from the National Science Foundation, astronomers Marc Buie and John Keller are involving citizen scientists from throughout the western United States to participate in the Research and Education Cooperative Occultation Network (RECON). The project has provided telescope equipment and training to 14 small western U.S. communities north and south of Reno, Nevada, where night skies are clear and dark. When RECON students look out at the night sky, they look way out to the Kuiper Belt, a ring of icy debris that litters the Solar System out beyond Neptune. The network is looking to determine the sizes of Kuiper Belt objects as they pass in front of distant stars. Part of the National Science Foundation Series “Science Nation.”
