Can "dirty" birds help scientists assess air pollution? Yes, and scientists have been using a species of birds to answer questions about levels of air pollution in the United States for over 135 years. Part of "The Brain Scoop" series.
Looks at nerve signals and how they are transmitted. Provides an overview of nerve messages in reflex activities at both the chemical and electrical levels as well as the activities of networks of nerve cells in contact. NOTE: Contains some nudity.
In this episode, host Emily Graslie meets with Dr. Robert Martin to discuss the evolution of human birth. They also highlight the progress being made to reduce mortality rates related to giving birth. Part of "The Brain Scoop" series.
Dr. Sera Thornton, a biologist at MIT, answers the question, "Is there any way to make a unicorn by crossing DNA?" Part of the "#askMIT" series.
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.
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 biological processes involved in cellular respiration and how these processes provide energy to living things. Part of the Science Video Vocab series.
Presents three key biological concepts about sensory responses and tropisms: the eye, nervous system responses, and plant tropisms. Each concept is illustrated with a variety of experiments and computer animation to illuminate what is happening both visibly and at the molecular level. NOTE: Dissects a horse's eye to identify functions of each part.
Features both male and female students discussing how hormones trigger the new social and emotional changes experienced during puberty. Covers self-esteem, body image, conflicts with parents, desire for independence, development of romantic feelings, bullying, and the need to treat each other with respect.
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 negative feedback loops and their role in maintaining homeostasis in organisms. Part of the Science Video Vocab series.
The endocrine system maintains the body's delicate chemical balance. Describes the location, function, and effects of the major endocrine glands, and notes their close relationship to the nervous system. Some discussion of diabetes and hormonal imbalances.
Details the relationship between bees and flowers. Discusses the importance of pollination. Explains the bee's life stages and anatomical features. Looks at the advanced communication and social skills of bees. Covers the social structure of bees and discusses the difference in job duties between males and females. Describes how bees make honey.
Talks about ant anatomy. Explains that not all species look alike, but they all share the same basic characteristic of having three functional body segments: head, thorax, abdomen. Describes body parts and functions of each segment. Discusses how various species of ants from Africa, South America, and Australia have adapted to their surroundings over time.
Is there beauty in a kidney cell? Microscopist Ruben Sandoval thinks so. Sandoval creates kaleidoscope--like artworks from the microscopic cell images he generates through his work. His art was born from the science he practices, and his scientific techniques have now been influenced by his art. Part of the "Artrageous With Nate" series.
In this episode, host Jason Silva explores the many layers of language. Some of the exercises and activities focus on the evolution of words, the links between what one sees and hears, and the mysterious communication abilities of twins. Part of the "Brain Games Family Edition."
Introduces the social and health aspects of good personal hygiene. Demonstrates the correct way to wash hands and bathe, as well as how to take care of hair and nails. Discusses the importance of wearing sunscreen, protecting skin from bumps, bites and itches, and keeping hair and nails clean and groomed.
Part of the "Branches on the Tree of Life" series. Describes the discovery of viruses and their structure, how viruses are studied, how they infect their hosts, and how they replicate. Provides details on the T-4 bacteriophage and retroviruses, such as HIV.
What's the difference between a venom and a poison? Host Emily Graslie highlights some cool reptiles and amphibians and discusses how they use their natural toxins to stay ahead in the evolutionary arms race. Part of "The Brain Scoop" series.
Presents sensory receptors that depend on contact with the immediate world: taste buds, touch sensors, and olfactory cells. These receptors lie in the skin, the largest organ of the body, which also senses heat, pain, and pressure. Re-creates the complex world of the skin through realistic models and photographs.
Host Alex Dainis discusses mitrochondrial DNA, which is the smallest circular chromosome found inside mitochondria. These organelles found in cells have often been called the powerhouse of the cell. The mitochondria, and thus mitochondrial DNA, are passed almost exclusively from mother to offspring through the egg cell.
