California agriculture is a $37.5 billion industry with "The Golden State" being home to nine of the nation's top ten producing counties. Researchers at UC Davis have created innovative farming techniques to help farmers meet the many challenges ahead. Part of the "9 Billion Mouths to Feed: The Future of Farming" series.
There's no question agriculture has a considerable environmental footprint. In this episode, UC Davis researchers discuss ways to reduce that impact. They also discuss the "Bovine Bubbles" that brought one UC Davis researcher international attention and "cleared the air" when it comes to how much gas cows really produce. Part of the "9 Billion Mouths to Feed: The Future of Farming" series.
Students at UC Davis are working to create high-tech tools to help make agriculture more precise. Some areas of research focus on plant genetics and biotechnology. Also in this episode, an organic farmer and a plant geneticist discuss the goals of sustainable farming. Part of the "9 Billion Mouths to Feed: The Future of Farming" series.
Agriculture isn't just about sowing the land; it's about finding solutions to modern problems facing the food supply. With farmland shrinking and a hungry population growing, researchers at UC Davis are working to ensure an abundant food supply. In this episode, students will learn about the "100-year experiment" and meet the first graduates of a brand new major. Part of the "9 Billion Mouths to Feed: The Future of Farming" series.
A Respiratory Care Therapist helps individuals when they can't breathe. Watch as a registered therapist shares how her training and two-year degree have given her the chance to play a pivotal role in caring for patients with respiratory needs. Part of the "Career Connections" series.
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.
Part of the "Branches on the Tree of Life" series. The phylum Chordata includes tunicates, sea lancelets, hagfish, and all familiar vertebrate animals. Explores how these seemingly diverse animals evolved and how the group is unified by four characteristic structures: a hollow dorsal nerve chord, a supportive notochord, gill slits, and a post-anal tail. Key milestones in vertebrate evolution include improvements in swimming and feeding, the evolution of paired fins and a primitive lung, movement onto the land, and the emergence of the amniotic egg.
Investigates the physical features of a number of "ugly" animals to demonstrate the efficiency of their odd appendages or disproportionate body parts. Studies the nose of the star-nosed mole, the fleshy protuberances in the mouth of the snapping turtle, the warthog's warts and tusks, the vulture's head, the northern elephant seal's proboscis, the proboscis monkey's nose and protruding stomach, the naked mole rat's lack of hair or fur, the whip scorpion's alien appearance, the mouths of deep sea denizens, and the bat's head.
Tongue taste areas The tongue is a muscular organ in the mouth of most vertebrates that manipulates food for mastication, and is used in the act of swallowing. It is of importance in the digestive system and is the primary organ of taste in the gustatory system. The tongue's upper surface (dorsum) is covered in taste buds housed in numerous lingual papillae. It is sensitive and kept moist by saliva, and is richly supplied with nerves and blood vessels. The tongue also serves as a natural means of cleaning the teeth. A major function of the tongue is the enabling of speech in humans and vocalization in other animals. The human tongue is divided into two parts, an oral part at the front and a pharyngeal part at the back. The left and right sides are also separated along most of its length by a vertical section of fibrous tissue (the lingual septum) that results in a groove, the median sulcus on the tongue's surface. There are two groups of muscles of the tongue. The four intrinsic muscles alter the shape of the tongue and are not attached to bone. The four paired extrinsic muscles change the position of the tongue and are anchored to bone. Do you have good taste? In this video segment, Dr. Linda Bartoshuk explores the sense of taste in humans - why we have it, and what happens when we lose it. Learn why the sense of smell is also important to our experience of food. Footage from NOVA: "Mystery of the Senses: Taste".

Cell regeneration, cloning, prosthesis, electronic devices in the human body, bionic eyes and hands, are current technologies developed in favor of improving rehabilitation and quality of life. Nerdo Cavernas reveals the technology being used to enhance and improve rehabilitation.
Part of a series that features a wide variety of video footage, photographs, diagrams and colorful, animated graphics and labels. For this particular video, students will focus on the geological features of caves. Part of the Science Video Vocab Series.
Chemistry experiments with salts demonstrate the following: neutralization; neutral, alkaline, and acid solutions; preparing zinc sulfide and sodium chloride; and the formation of ammonium chloride.
Documentary records Project Puffin, the successful effort to repopulate Seal Island, Maine, with Atlantic puffins and terns. Notes their life, behaviors, and mating during the summer before fall migration. Also remarks on the interdependence of terns and puffins. Biologists comment.
Summarizes beagle history and explains the breed's personality, characteristics, health care, grooming, training, housebreaking, and special abilities. Also points out choosing the right dog and how to find a reputable breeder and a healthy dog.
In each episode, viewers are given clues about a hidden animal inside a magic box. Can viewers use all the clues to correctly guess the name of the bird featured in this episode with a large throat pouch used for catching prey? Part of the "Zoobabu" series.
Figuring ways to clean up contaminated waters is a huge challenge. But luckily, a simple piece of plastic that mimics fish fat can help. Part of the "Science Out Loud" series.
Many microorganisms thrive in the polluted water that is abundant with their food: bacteria and other protists. One of nine segments in a series, with all nine available on a DVD.
Part of a series that features a wide variety of video footage, photographs, diagrams and colorful, animated graphics and labels. Begins with a simple definition of the term and concludes with a critical thinking question. For this particular video, students will focus on the term volcanism. Part of the Science Video Vocab Series.
