Defining color is a complex process that has consumed artists and scientists for many years. Takes a new approach to the understanding of color, providing a comprehensive overview of what it is, along with very clear, detailed explanations. Three-dimensional graphics help enable full understanding of all the dimensions of color and how it relates to creative visual arts.
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, the rain has just fallen and the sun is returning. A beautiful rainbow fills the horizon. Moko would like to take a few colors and bring them back to his village to offer them to a friend. He walks toward the rainbow, but the closer he gets, the more the colors disappear. Disappointed, he heads back home... and the rainbow reappears in the distance. He asks the village wise man how he could take a few colors from the rainbow and make a gift of them to a friend. The wise man tells him it would be better to ask his friend to come look at the beauty of the colors with him. After all, Moko tells himself, the rainbow is too big and doesn't want us to take its colors away. It comes to make the sky more beautiful. It just wants to be admired.

Host Alex Dainis explains why leaves change colors during the fall. She examines the different colors of leaf pigments by using chromatography. In this experiment, viewers are able to see the various colors of pigments found in leaves.
After the “Hola” song, Señora Alicia and Susana review the colors "green," "yellow," and "blue." While they sing to the tune of “Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes,” students learn the terms for the following body parts: head, arms, legs, and feet. Señora Alicia introduces a new instrument: the triangle. Students also practice a counting activity that reviews numbers "one" through "eleven." Part of the “Art and More” series.
A mother and child plant a rainbow of colors in their flower garden. Based on the children's book by Lois Ehlert.
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.
A girl dreams of creating a garden full of chocolate rabbits, flowers that change colors, seashells, and tomatoes the size of beach balls. Based on the children's book by Kevin Henkes.
Examines the primary characteristics of reptiles through narration, song, and close-up photography. Points out differences between animals within the species. Labels identify key words.
How are rocks formed? Do they change over time? Students explore the world of rocks and minerals. They also learn how to identify common minerals and properties of rocks. Part of the "Way Cool Science" series.
What are stars, and where do they come from? Briefly discusses the life cycle of a star, their colors, and super nova. Includes the Hubble Space Telescope, how stars were used in history, and constellations. Offers a short review.
What's the difference between thermoplastics and thermoset plastics? The primary physical difference is that thermoplastics can be remelted back into a liquid, whereas thermoset plastics always remain in a permanent solid state. Part of the "Ask a Scientist" series.
What causes earth's weather? Explains that the sun is the primary source of our changing weather phenomena as it warms the atmosphere and water. Covers weather forecasting, high and low pressure fronts, cloud formations, and the water cycle. Presents weather conditions for thunderstorms, tornadoes, and hurricanes.
Sea cucumbers scavenge tiny pieces of food on the ocean floor, and they come in all different sizes. Some species are as small as coins, and others can grow to the size of a person. However, this weird animal does not have a brain. Part of the "Weird Animal" series.
Fly into this high-tech career and learn about satellites, airplanes, and maybe even flying cars of the future. Aerospace engineering is the primary field of engineering concerned with the development of aircraft and spacecraft. Part of the "I Can Be Anything I Want to Be A to Z" series.
Jupiter poses many questions about our solar system. It is a powerful planet of gas whose flowing colors and spots are beautiful, but contain violent storms and jet streams. A mini solar system of over sixty moons rotate around Jupiter--a half billion miles from earth. Could one of these moons contain life under its icy crust?
What is a lab notebook? In this episode, host Alex Dainis explains how she uses lab notebook when conducting research. These notebooks are the primary record of research, and researchers use them to document their hypotheses, experiments, and analysis of experiments.
Fractals are complex, never-ending patterns created by repeating mathematical equations. A math student at MIT delves into their mysterious properties and how they can be found in technology and nature. Part of the "Science Out Loud" series.
An elementary class prepares for a visit from the Shadow Players, a group who use light, shadow, and color to tell a story. The class learns about sources of light, shadows, and silhouettes. They experiment with transparent, opaque, and translucent objects to see what lets light through. Using a prism, they discover the colors in light. Review at the end.
