Moko is an explorer. As he travels the world continent by continent, he makes many friends and discovers many natural phenomena which sometimes delight him, and other times scare him. Each animated episode recounts an adventure and takes an "original story" approach to explaining these natural phenomena. In this episode, one night, Moko misses his country filled with sun and heat. Alarick, wanting to comfort him and make him feel welcome, offers to show him a great show in the sky. Moko, who thought he had seen all of the wonders the sky had to offer in his country, sees his first northern lights. Amazed, he thinks that in this country the sky can soothe a saddened heart and that Alarick, child of the cold, has proven to be a warm and welcoming friend.
Olli cannot understand why a light is turned off when it is not needed, since it is so easy to flick the switch. Thanks to Suzie, the children get to meet "Power," who can indeed create ample electricity. They also learn a lesson about conservation and natural resources. Part of the "My Little Planet" series.
Part of the animated "Johan, the Young Scientist" series. Johan travels to ScienScape one evening because of a power outage at his house. There he learns that there are only two sources of light-natural and artificial lights. Professor Hoo then guides him, Ani, and Moki on their night out to find the brightest source of light that is also completely free.
Discover how scientists compare the reflected red, blue, and green light from planets in the solar system to identify distant planets. Carolyn Crow, an astronomer, describes how the amount of green, blue, and red light reflected by planets can be plotted. A diagram compares the color data of the planets and shows that Earth is easily distinguishable by its blue color.
Examines the science of travelling beyond our solar system with the latest developments from NASA. Looks at what technology and research steps are being taken that might enable us someday to go visit other planets. Reports on the Phoenix Lights, the most recent mass UFO sighting, as presented through witness accounts. Also includes commentary from skeptical analysts to represent both sides in this highly debated topic.
A cure for Motherboard might be hidden in the windiest spot in the Northern Frontier, and the kids must figure out how to measure wind speed to find the cure. Part of the "Cyberchase" series.
In this episode, Mo Rocca explores a Medical MacGyver that makes health devices from toys, train spinning, computerized Smart Shopping Carts, and soda bottle lights.
Meet one of the largest birds of prey, the golden eagle. They are one of the best-known birds of prey in the Northern Hemisphere. It is the most widely distributed species of eagle. Students learn additional facts about this cool critter.
Can people in remote rural areas who are far from electric generating plants get power for their lights and appliances? Solar cells make it possible. Mechanical and electrical engineers at the US Department of Energy's Sandia National Laboratories take viewers through the process of designing and installing solar cell panels in remote locations.
In the first segment, a shuttle astronaut compares eating, sleeping, bathing, and working and relaxing in space with life on earth. The second segment focuses on Newton's Three Laws of Motion as the astronaut demonstrates them with cans of pudding.
In this short animation film, a magnificent bird performs for the emperor inside a glittering palace. Its plumage is a blaze of color. A blackbird, watching enviously, tries to become the next bird to perform for the emperor. However, he soon learns that a golden cage can’t compete with the open skies.
Sarah Don, a graduate student in Nuclear Science and Engineering at MIT, answers the question, "What does the future of nuclear science look like?" Part of the "#askMIT" series.
One of the fifteen parts of the "Farm to Market" series. Follows the process of how eggs go through the rigorous cleaning and inspection from the henhouse, and how the eggs finally arrive in supermarkets. Visits several different poultry farms, including a turkey farm and ostrich farm to see how birds are raised.
Part of the Project-Based Inquiry Science "Earth Science Content Videos" series. Modules include the following: "Introduction: Demolition Derby," "Fire Syringe Demonstration," "Formation of the Moon Animation," "Doppler Shift: Train Whistles," "Kepler: A Search for Habitable Planets," and "A Hubble Space Telescope Discovery."
Electricity makes life easier every day. Because electricity is virtually unseen, it is often difficult to understand just where it comes from and how it works. Students will discover the properties of electricity and what is needed to keep the lights on. Part of the Real World Science series.
The mid-latitude and polar regions are two of earth's three climatic zones. The mid-latitude, or temperate, regions have definite seasonal changes in temperature and length of days and nights. Polar climates have extremely cold temperatures. Covers the climatic characteristics of the five subregions of the temperate and polar zones, noting also the vegetation, animal and human life, urban centers, and food crops.
National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence Paul Sereno is usually digging up dinosaur bones. But Sereno was walking through the Sahara in northern Niger when he found a nearly 10,000-year-old human skull. This discovery lead Sereno to imagine the green Sahara that was their home. Segment of video from Wild Chronicles Series.
Scientist are concerned about the decreasing mass of the world's glaciers. Due to numerous environmental factors, glaciers that were once abundant in the Northern regions are now half of their original size. Climate change has become a very real and dangerous impact for the planet. Part of the "Glacier Series."
Glaciers are melting, sea levels are rising, and the weather is becoming more extreme. Corporations talk about optimizing resource use, saving energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions to stop worsening climate change. They start to promote hybrid cars, plant-based detergents and new technologies… but how much do they really intend to change, and what do plants have to do with marketing?
