Eco, the little bear, travels around the world observing human interactions with the environment. During his journey, he meets many other friends from the animal kingdom and gets a firsthand look into some of the environmental and social problems facing the planet. Eco and his friends provide ways for humans to ensure a healthy planet for the future. Part of "Eco S.O.S." series.
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.
Investigates plant reproduction: concepts, terminology, types of reproduction, pollination, and seed development and germination. Includes questions, review, and a quiz.
Students investigate important processes including photosynthesis, reproduction, growth, and germination. They also learn how these processes relate to the structure of plants. Important terminology includes flower, pistil, stamen, pollen, pollination, and reproduction.
What helps seeds grow? Where do they come from? What is pollination? How does it happen? An elementary class experiments to find the answers. Time-lapse photography and illustrations reinforce the concepts.
After explaining the differences between butterflies and moths, examines the complete metamorphosis of the zebra longwing butterfly. Looks at a butterfly's anatomy; purpose of specific body parts; and how they have adapted for camouflage, gathering food, reproduction, and pollination. Explains the butterfly's unique place in the survival of all species.
What do you know about bats? Are they our friends or enemies? Emphasizes that bats help us with pollination, seed dispersal, and by eating millions of bugs. Discusses their habitats and the foods they eat. Shows that their appearance and size differ. Closes with a warning that bats are wild animals.
Learn about the pollen-gathering processes of bees in this segment as a renowned beekeeper teams up with scientists to investigate why this location is near heaven for these insects. During pollination, bees must communicate with each other using various techniques to articulate where the best flowers are located. Part of "The Queen's Garden" series.
Explores the world of butterflies and bees. Segment 1, The Lives of Butterflies and Moths. Describes the four stages of the life cycle of the butterfly and moth: egg, larva (caterpillar), pupa, and adult butterfly or moth. Shows how their diet and defense systems are necessary for survival. Segment 2, Bees and Plants. Explains pollination and why plants depend on bees for survival. Suggested classroom activities follow each segment.
With support from the National Science Foundation, Astrobiologist Richard Hoover really goes to extremes to find living things that thrive where life would seem to be impossible--from the glaciers of the Alaskan Arctic to the ice sheets of Antarctica. He thinks it is even possible that over the course of billions of years, life has spread around the solar system--a sort of cosmic cross pollination. Microbes could live in the ice deep within comets, frozen there for eons until a collision with another planet or moon delivered them to a new home.
