The dinosaurs were headed for trouble. They ate nothing but junk food. They never brushed their teeth. They stayed up all night, and they jumped off cliffs even though they could not fly. To avoid extinction, they evolved into birds.

Basking sharks are the second largest shark in the ocean, and NOAA scientists are using the latest technologies to study them. The scientists capture and tag the sharks in an effort to study their movements and preferred habitat. Part of "The Science Behind" series.
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 volcano. Part of the Science Video Vocab Series.
Features a wide variety of video footage, photographs, diagrams and colorful, animated graphics and labels. Begins with a simple definition, and this helps clarify pronunciation and provides opportunities to transfer words from working to long-term memory. Also concludes with a critical thinking question. For this particular clip, students will focus on hervivore.
While asleep, a young girl dreams that her computer teaches her about earth's geographic areas. Uses a globe to tell about areas of water (oceans, lakes, and rivers), land (mountains, forests, canyons, deserts, plains, and poles), and climates (cold, tropic, and moderate). Emphasizes that all areas and features of earth support life.
The manta ray is the largest ray in the ocean. They have have cephalic lobes, or flaps, which help the manta funnel food into its mouth. These animals can even leap out of the water. Now that's one weird animal. Part of the "Weird Animal" series.
This giant moray eel likes to hide among reefs and can grow as long as 13 feet. It has a second set of jaws in its throat that grabs prey and drags it into its mouth. Now that's one weird animal. Part of the "Weird Animal" series.
For Dr. Oakley, some days are spent performing lifesaving surgeries, others involve helping with conservation projects, but most of her days consist of routine exams. As the only all-species vet for hundreds of square miles, she has to help any and all animals. Part of the "Wilderness Vet" series.
The people of the Cook Islands have created one of the world’s largest marine parks, and now they are working together to figure out what that means to a bevy of conflicting interests, from fishermen to miners. The scientists lend their expertise and help the residents map their resources. Part of the "Global Reef Expedition" series.
Smalltooth sawfish have been around for over 50 million years, but today they are threatened. Its toothed rostrum can easily become entangled in fishing lines, but anglers are learning how to handle them for a safe release. Part of the "Endangered Ocean" series.
All animal species undergo a process of constant change. Those that survive do so because they perfect certain strategies that enable them to develop successfully in their environment. Discovers that conditions in the environment determine which abilities animals develop, and introduces survival strategies such as camouflage, poison, symbiosis, parasitism, and adaptation. NOTE: Contains nudity.
The evolution of the arms, legs, necks, and lungs of the human body can be traced to a fish that lumbered onto land some 375 million years ago. The genetic legacy of this creature can be seen today in human DNA, including the genes used to build hands and limbs. Part of the “Your Inner Fish” series. Please note this title shows corpses in anatomy labs and contains mature themes.
Investigates the digestive consequences when a family sits down to lunch. As the first morsel is put into the mouth, the camera watches from inside as the molars clamp down and the process of breakdown and transformation occurs. Follows the food through the entire alimentary tract, showing how it is dissolved in acid, how the liver and gallbladder work, and how digestion and absorption work.
Looks at the career of dolphin trainer. Covers the subjects: How do dolphins get trained? What subjects to take in school to be a dolphin trainer? Why is math important to be a dolphin trainer? Are dolphins fish? Do dolphins communicate with each other? What are mammals? Part of "Career Opportunities for Young People" series.
Diagram of the internal organs of a frog as shown in a dissection. Design modalities for the image include braille with and without labels, print with and without labels in greyscale, color, and texture.

What do wild animals do when we're not around? Find out with National Geographic's Crittercam. Safely worn by wildlife, Crittercams capture video, sound, and other information, giving students rare views of the private lives of animals. Crittercams help to solve scientific mysteries by providing an animal's eye view. And what scientists learn from Crittercams helps them protect the very animals that wear them. In this episode, scientists study the hunting practices of leopard seals.
Ice cream is so much more than just a delectable delight. It's a complex matrix of crystals, bubbles, and globules. Fortunately, the delicate structure of ice cream is held together by a combination of chemical reinforcements and top-of-the-line freezing technology. This allows the perfect mix to be delivered to the mouth where the chemicals explode in a fantastic release of flavor and texture. Part of the "Science to Go With Dr. Joe Schwarcz" series.
Part of the "Branches on the Tree of Life" series. Imagine an animal with no mouth, no digestive system, no excretory or circulatory organs, no brain nor nervous system, and no movement as an adult. In spite of their simple nature, sponges are actually one of the most interesting animal phyla when viewed in developmental, ecological, and evolutionary terms. Clarifies the structure, function, classification, and ecological roles of sponges through animations and time-lapse microscopy.
When Genoveva opens her magic book, the screen is filled with feathers, beaks, horns, legs, wings, and snouts. Genoveva's magic book transports her to various habitats where she learns about the animals that live there. In this episode, Genoveva visits with a four-legged animal as big as an alligator. It has a huge mouth and a strong jaw. It has scales, but it's not a fish. What could it be? Welcome to the caiman's world.
A nose for digging? Ears for seeing? Eyes that squirt blood? Explore the many amazing things animals can do with their ears, eyes, mouths, noses, feet, and tails. Based on the children's book by Robin Page.
