Demonstrates a variety of natural childbirth labor techniques. Covers having labor support from people you trust and creating a comfortable environment for birth. Includes techniques for early labor, active labor/transition, back labor, long labor, and positions for pushing and birth. Concludes with comments by women who have used these techniques. NOTE: Shows actual birth footage.
When is it necessary to induce or augment a labor? Answers questions expectant parents may have about these procedures. Explores the advantages, risks, common medical methods, and natural alternatives available for both induction and augmentation. An obstetrician lists questions expectant parents should ask their caregivers. NOTE: Concludes with footage of a vaginal birth.
Explains how epidural anesthesia works and shows step-by-step how it is administered. Covers the possible side effects, benefits, and risks, including ways to reduce the chances of complications. Shows two couples as they make decisions about pain relief during labor and birth. NOTE: Shows an actual epidural procedure and vaginal birth.
Follows a family's unplanned Cesarean birth from early labor through recovery. An obstetrician explains the Cesarean procedure and discusses ways to minimize risk. Shows the surgical procedure using 3-D animation. Presents information on breast-feeding and recovery, and how to make a Cesarean birth a fulfilling experience. NOTE: Concludes with graphic footage of an actual Cesarean surgery.
Science laboratories present a whole range of potential hazards to people's health and well-being, and it is critical that both teachers and students are fully aware of their responsibilities to ensure the learning environment is kept safe at all times. Aims at viewers who are not new to science laboratories. Covers a range of safety areas, including general safety in these laboratories and specific areas of potential risk in chemistry, biology, and physics labs.
Team members at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory share the challenges faced during the final minutes before “Curiosity” landed on the surface of Mars. “Curiosity” is a car-sized robotic rover exploring Gale Crater on Mars as part of NASA’s Mars Science Laboratory mission (MSL).
Guides deaf women through the third trimester of their pregnancy. Discusses medical considerations, nutrition, fitness, pregnancy, rights to an interpreter, and other issues. Also, covers what changes your body may experience by month to month. Also, explains stages of labor, C-section, discomforts of pregnancy, and monitoring fetal movements. Hosted by Deanne Bray of "Sue Thomas: F.B. Eye" and Missy Keast.
In this episode, host Mo Rocca shows viewers the light bulb that levitates, discusses the petrol pumps that fueled the world, and reveals the best advice from past inventors. He also discusses new technological developments in pet care. Part of "The Henry Ford Innovation Nation With Mo Rocca" series.
The decade saw The Great War, The Flu Epidemic and the Titanic disaster. Ten years into the 20th Century and the world is grappling with some serious growing pains. In a decade racked by conflict, there were inventions that made the world both safer and infinitely more dangerous. Featured inventions include: the parachute, the gas mask, the toaster, the Tommy Gun, and sonar.
Rice covers most of Asia's best agricultural land and uses vast quantities of water, two vital resources that are increasingly in short supply. With the number of people in the world rising exponentially, rice farmers will have to cultivate and harvest rice with less labor, land, and time than they have in the past. Reviews how science and technology are solving this supply-and-demand problem.

Explains the scientific concepts of photosynthesis, respiration, and enzymes. Laboratory experiments demonstrate: the rate of photosynthesis in greenhouse plants; the amount of oxygen used by the body during respiration at varying speeds; and the reaction times of different enzymes.
Host Lisa Van Pay meets researchers who study life in caves. The team explores Snowy River, a bright white crystalline formation found deep within Fort Stanton Cave in New Mexico, finding life and energy in unexpected places.
A food science professor discusses the chemistry and physics of food preparation and cooking. She also gives an overview of a food science laboratory and its equipment.
Everyday examples and laboratory experiments explain and demonstrate the concept of waves as they relate to physics. Three segments cover the characteristics of transverse and longitudinal waves and the reflection and refraction of waves. Complex physics is made clearer by the lab demonstrations.
Bohrium is a synthetic chemical element with the symbol Bh and atomic number 107. It is named after Danish physicist Niels Bohr. As a synthetic element, it can be created in a laboratory but is not found in nature. All known isotopes of bohrium are extremely radioactive.
