Students explore the life cycle of plants. This video discusses the process of plant development from a small seed to a mature plant.
(Source: DCMP)
Students explore the diversity of plants and the important characteristics they have in common. The importance of plants in everyday life is stressed. Terminology includes oxygen, fruits, vegetables, seeds, and spores.
Flowers are everywhere. Students define what a flower is and the parts that make up a flower. They also learn the importance of flowering plants in daily life.
Why are plants important to life? What makes a plant a plant? Investigates their general characteristics as well as major groups, habitats, and predecessors. Includes video questions, a review, and a quiz.
Shows the structure, behavior, and life cycles of planarians and their free-living relatives (class Turbellaria). Illustrates the bizarre life cycles of flukes (class Trematoda) and tapeworms (class Cestoda) with detailed animations and revealing images of these parasites in action.
It was once believed that organic compounds, light, and water were needed to sustain life, but life has been found in complete darkness underwater. National Geographic Explorer Bob Ballard discovered Lost City, an underwater mountain range, and it is teaming with life. Segment of a video from Wild Chronicles Series.
Part of the "Branches on the Tree of Life" series. Uses crisp graphic animation to describe the molecular-level mechanisms of photosynthesis. Examples of this critical element of plant biology include the major plant groups of mosses, liverworts, ferns, horsetails, and the seed plants (gymnosperms and flowering plants).
Living things go through changes in the course of their lives, referred to as life cycles. This program explains the life cycles of living organisms, specifically focusing on plants and animals. Video footage and colorful animations illustrate how living things change. Important terminology includes egg, seed, growth, metamorphosis, germination, stage, larva, pupa, nymph, and adult.
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.
Some of the most powerful and useful things in the world come from plants. Who knew they could help unlock some of biology's mysteries by using the approach of mapping biological pathways? Part of "Science Out Loud" series.
Discusses the terminology, processes, and products related to photosynthesis. Questions bridge segments and lead to information on tropism, seed structure, and germination. Includes a review and a quiz.
Join host Joel Greene on this adventure to learn what it’s like to be a farmer. While visiting Amy’s Farm, Greene tastes the strong arugula plant, meets a hungry pig, spots a fresh chicken egg, and gets up close and personal with a dairy cow. Part of the Curiosity Quest Series.
Ten 10-minute programs explore temperate and tropical habitats and their abundant diversity of life. Tape one: compares temperate and tropical forests, their habitats, the effects of rain on them, and shows how size can generate great diversity. Tape two: uses butterflies to represent species diversity, compares how people relate to temperate and tropical environments, explores humans' impact on diversity, and investigates issues of threatened and endangered species.
In this episode, Herpetology Curator Darrell Frost discusses the science of classification, also known as taxonomy. Taxonomy has gone through significant changes during history, and technological advances have also impacted how scientists classify animals, plants, and other objects. Part of the "Shelf Life" series.
Ana Luz Porzecanski is a conservation biologist at the American Museum of Natural History. In this episode, she answers students' questions about the diversity of animal and plant life in Cuba. Part of the "Ask a Scientist About" series.
Narration, song, and underwater photography capture the primary characteristics of fish: scales, gills, and fins. Shows how fish swim and how they protect themselves. Labels identify key words.
Surveys soil's formation, composition, properties, types, and movement. Also identifies the five major plant communities: tundra, forests, scrublands, grasslands, and deserts. The connection between soils and vegetation affects where people live.
Coral reefs are particularly sensitive to ocean acidification, which has decreased their ability to form skeletons. Ocean acidification is also causing reefs to crumble and disappear. Part of the "Coral Comeback" series.
The climate, animals, and plant life vary greatly in different parts of the world. Students explore how wildlife and the environment work together in harmony. They also learn how to identify and locate the seven major biomes found on Earth. Part of the "Way Cool Science" series.
Ana Luz Porzecanski answers students' questions about Cuba in this video interview. She's a conservation biologist at the American Museum of Natural History. Part of the "Ask a Scientist About" series.
