I think what your eyesight does is confirm other senses, says James Robertshaw, a world champion kite flyer and for two years personal assistant to Rory Heap. Heap has been blind from birth, but with Robertshaw's assistance pursues his ambition for kite flying--particularly of complicated figure eight patterns. Using all of his senses except for sight, Heap learns how to fly a kite with the same dexterity that Robertshaw uses to guide him through busy city streets.

Forensic osteological research facilities are outdoor compounds where donated human bodies are studied during decomposition. Using archeological field techniques, researchers discover what happens to human remains when exposed to a number of different environmental conditions. Studying these skeletal remains in different contexts proves extremely beneficial in solving real-life humanitarian and criminal cases. Please note: Preview of this title is highly encourage due the sensitive material covered.
A community of sea lions annually visits an island in the Gulf of California, where the babies are born and must be taught to swim. Compares seals and sea lions. Details physical characteristics, diet, behaviors, and enemies. The only enemy this "grizzly bear of the sea" cannot fight is fishing boats.
In this animated special, the alien M51 moves the Earth into a closer orbit around the sun. This has some serious consequences for all living things. M51 learns important lessons about life in the universe. Part of the "Ask an Astronomer" series.
Across the animal kingdom, some of the most essential lessons-and the most extreme challenges-occur in the first moments of life. From ostrich to orangutan, egg sac to live birth, infanticide to matricide, the diversity of behaviors between parent and progeny is as great as the diversity of life on our planet. Academy Award-winner F. Murray Abraham narrates.
After the “Hola” song, Susana and Señora Alicia model greetings and sing a song. New body parts are introduced, including "the eye," "the nose," "the ear," and "the mouth." Señora Alicia also reviews the terms "big" and "little." With the help of Mr. Potato Head, Señora Alicia reviews body parts from previous lessons. Part of the “Art and More” series.
After the “Hola” song, Susana shows Señora Alicia her magic wand. They ask students to join them in singing the song “Las Visitas” in different tempos. Señora Alicia reviews the parts of the body while singing “Mi Cuerpo.” She adds to the song by naming some of the instruments learned in previous lessons. Part of the “Art and More” series.
Millions of years ago, a group of bacteria, the cyanobacteria, developed a new way to harness energy from the sun. This new development had important consequences for the evolution of both the atmosphere and the diversity of life on Earth.
This video explores the fascinating world of microscopic life. It begins by discussing viruses and explaining how they cause disease. Students also learn the importance of bacterial cells and explore the life of protists. Additional concepts and terminology include microscope, vaccine, moneran, decomposition, amoeba, phytoplankton, yeast, algae, paramecium, and protozoa.
Living things go through changes in the course of their lives, referred to as life cycles. This program explains the life cycles of living organisms, specifically focusing on plants and animals. Video footage and colorful animations illustrate how living things change. Important terminology includes egg, seed, growth, metamorphosis, germination, stage, larva, pupa, nymph, and adult.
It was once believed that organic compounds, light, and water were needed to sustain life, but life has been found in complete darkness underwater. National Geographic Explorer Bob Ballard discovered Lost City, an underwater mountain range, and it is teaming with life. Segment of a video from Wild Chronicles Series.
Oyster reefs protect shorelines from erosion, create fish habitats, and clean the water. Scientists in North Carolina are working to restore the oyster reefs along the coast.
Updates the five kingdoms classification scheme with the latest understanding of life's organization based on DNA, fossil, and biochemical evidence, reorganizing all life into three great branches: Archaea, Bacteria, and Eucarya. Shows concise animations and superb microscope footage of primitive cells.
From fossil evidence, it appears that life may have existed on Earth as early as 3.5 billion years ago. This suggests that life must have evolved sometime during Earth's tumultuous first billion years. How did life evolve? What did early forms of life look like? Topics covered include protocells, endosymbiosis, prokaryotes, eukaryotes, evolution, heredity, variation, natural selection, genetic drift, and gene flow. Part of the "Biology" series.
All living organisms share several key characteristics or functions. When combined, these characteristics serve to define life. In this episode, Petunia and Pinky discuss several of the characteristics of life. Part of "The Amoeba Sisters" series. Please note: This title contains discussions on sexual reproduction.
Where do baby animals come from? What do they look like? A family visits a farm in spring and learns the answers. Shows a duckling hatch and a lamb and calf being born. Viewers decide which creatures are born from eggs and which are born live. Later that spring, the family has a new baby.
Students explore the life cycle of plants. This video discusses the process of plant development from a small seed to a mature plant.
Scientists investigate the microbes found in Yellowstone National Park hot springs, geysers, and other pools of water. Micro life is thriving in the extreme environments of the hot springs, and microbiologists believe the diversity of life found at Yellowstone will aid in studying life beyond our planet. Segment of video from Wild Chronicles Series.
Part of the "Inside the Living Cell" series. Provides an overview of the different kinds of cells, emphasizing the fact that all cells have a common organizational structure and carry out similar biochemical processes. Presents the discovery of cells, cell structures, organelle function, cell varieties, and the chemistry of life.
Part of the animated "Johan, the Young Scientist" series. Housebound during a rainy day, Johan goes to ScienScape where it also rains. Johan, Ani, and Moki set out to find where the rainwater ends up. This leads them from gutters to drains to rivers. They soon learn that all living beings need water to survive.
