It's the decade of Ronald Reagan and Margret Thatcher; cold war and glasnost; big beats, big hair and fashions that seemed like a good idea at the time. The inventions of the 1980s have people looking inward at DNA and outward to the far reaches of space. Featured inventions include: the internet, DNA profiling, the nicotine patch, MIR Space Station, and the endoscopy capsule.

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is a large area of marine debris, which forms by rotating ocean currents. These currents, also known as gyres, act like whirlpools and collect floating pieces of microplastics. Part of the "Trash Talk" series.
Lab experiments demonstrate a variety of ways to detect carbon and hydrogen in organic substances. Burns hexane, benzene, cyclohexane, and naphthalene; shows properties of a propane-butane mixture.
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 three types of droughts: meteorological, hydrological, and agricultural. Part of the Science Video Vocab Series.
Part of a series that features a wide variety of video footage, photographs, diagrams, graphics, and labels. For this particular video, students will focus on the conditions that create the greenhouse effect, and its impact on the environment. Part of the Science Video Vocab series.
On January 14, 2005, the European Space Agency's “Huygens” probe made its descent to the surface of Saturn's hazy moon, Titan. Carried to Saturn by NASA's “Cassini” spacecraft, “Huygens” made the most distant landing ever on another world and the only landing on a body in the outer solar system.
Drug addiction is a disease of the brain, and teens are at the highest risk for acquiring this disease. Stephen Dewey and other leading scientists detail how drugs like heroin, nicotine, cocaine, and marijuana change the brain by altering the way it registers pleasure. Young recovering addicts describe how addiction involves intense craving for a drug and loss of control over its use.
A green roof can certainly make a building look nicer, but can it lower energy requirements and improve water management? Engineer Jelena Srebric and horticulturist Rob Berghage are working on a project to measure and model how a green roof affects the way buildings use energy and water. The researchers hope that architects will someday use their model to make building designs even greener.
Corals are important ecosystem engineers, providing habitat and nutrient recycling to tropical reefs. However, coral species’ richness and abundance are in decline worldwide, due in large part to the impacts from global industrialization and human population growth. Coral disease is a major contributor to this decline of tropical reefs, and therefore, investigations into the causes of and remedies to these diseases are of critical importance. Part of the National Science Foundation Series “Science Nation.”
Looks at amazing instincts of three kinds of mammals: whales, bears and monkeys (primates). Segment 1, Marine Migration: Follows the humpback whales' migration through the waters between Maui and Alaska. Describes "bubblenetting", the whale's unique feeding behavior. Segment 2, Hibernation and Homing: Shows how bears' hibernation and homing instincts help them survive treacherous conditions. Segment 3, Parenting Primates: Visits the island of Borneo and shows how adult proboscis monkeys, macaques, and orangutans teach their young. Suggested classroom activities follow each segment.
Animal researchers travel to Easter Island, one of the most remote inhabited islands on Earth, where a mystery illness is plaguing horses. A chance encounter by a veterinary pathologist reveals a disturbing fact: an invasive, non-native plant introduced to prevent soil erosion is poisoning the horses. Segment of video from Wild Chronicles Series.
In each episode, viewers are given clues about a hidden animal inside a magic box. Can viewers use all the clues to correctly name this animal with large, distinctive black patches around its eyes, over its ears, and across its body? Part of the "Zoobabu" series.
The Earth has many land formations such as mountains, plateaus, hills, and plains. These formations are created by movement of the earth’s plates, volcanoes, weather, and erosion. Part of the Real World Science series.
When Brandon was 10 he was diagnosed with psoriasis. At first, he was very ashamed due to the visible patches on his skin. However, five years after his diagnosis, with adequate treatment, he lives with the disease and has a normal life.
With support from the National Science Foundation, device engineer Jason Heikenfeld of the University of Cincinnati and a multidisciplinary team are developing new technologies to take sweat biosensors to the next level. Their wearable patches allow tiny amounts of sweat to be captured and analyzed quickly and accurately with strong correlation to blood data. The researchers envision a day when data from continuous sweat monitoring will be an essential tool in health care, like blood tests. Part of the "Science Nation" series.
Part of a series that features a wide variety of video footage, photographs, diagrams, graphics, and labels. For this particular video, students will focus on how clouds form and the four types of clouds: cumulus, nimbus, stratus, and cirrus. Part of the Science Video Vocab series.
Left for dead after decades of neglect, the Colorado River in Northern Mexico was once a vibrant wetland ecosystem the size of Rhode Island. People have come together in an attempt to restore the delta of the river. They have instituted programs and policies to reconnect a healthy river to the sea.
