Showcases innovative teaching techniques in higher education as performed by science and math professors at Hampshire College, the University of Massachusetts, and Springfield Technical Community College. Techniques include interactive learning, giving pyramid exams (a two-step exam that turns a test into an interactive learning experience), problem-based cooperative group work, using technology (as opposed to lecture), and more collaboration between colleagues.
Many outlet glaciers in Greenland feed ice from the land into fjords, where discharge of icebergs and melting of the glaciers by warmer ocean waters contribute to rising sea levels. David Holland of NYU studies what happens in the fjord when ice meets water. He also studies how the dynamics at the margin between ice and sea are changing, and what those changes could mean in the future for global sea level rise. Part of the National Science Foundation Series “Science Nation.”
Fractals are complex, never-ending patterns created by repeating mathematical equations. A math student at MIT delves into their mysterious properties and how they can be found in technology and nature. Part of the "Science Out Loud" series.
Dorothy Vaughan, Mary Jackson, Katherine Johnson, and Christine Darden were good at math. They participated in some of NASA's greatest successes, like providing the calculations for America's first journeys into space. This title explores the story of four female African-American mathematicians as they overcame gender and racial barriers to succeed in a highly challenging career. Based on the children's book by Margot Lee Shetterly.

Diagram showing the geometry and terms used to describe a circle. Design modalities for the image include braille with and without labels, print with and without labels in greyscale, color, and texture.
Diagram showing the Normal Distribution. Design modalities for the image include braille with and without labels, print with and without labels in greyscale, color, and texture.
Dr. Corina Tarnita describes the importance of termite mounds in a savanna ecosystem. Termite mounds are biological hotspots that concentrate nutrients. When viewed from above, the mounds form a strikingly regular polka-dot pattern. Dr. Tarnita uses mathematical modeling to explain the regularity of the pattern.
Hydrogeologist Shannon Cook talks about how he entered this field of science and what he does on a daily basis. For this career, be sure to study math, science, and geology. Part of the "Career Connections" series.

A soccer stadium is perfect to put to test the principals of physics, math, biology and technology. How to generate certain effect by kicking a ball? With what angle are we able to achieve the longest distance? How is a fixture put together for an Argentine soccer tournament?
Hear from a forest services manager who leads projects for forest health and sustainability. He discusses the importance of math, science, writing, and communication in the field of forestry. Learn about the many careers available in the area of natural sciences. Part of the "Career Connections" series.
In this episode, host Dianna Cowern meets with math experts to discuss the phenomenon of "wine tears." They conduct experiments with various types of liquids to try and uncover the science behind this mystery. Part of the "Physics Girl" series. Please note this title uses alcoholic beverages as the basis for the experiments.
