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.
After the “Hola” song, Susana and Señora Alicia model greetings and sing a song. New body parts are introduced, including "the eye," "the nose," "the ear," and "the mouth." Señora Alicia also reviews the terms "big" and "little." With the help of Mr. Potato Head, Señora Alicia reviews body parts from previous lessons. Part of the “Art and More” series.
Investigates plant reproduction: concepts, terminology, types of reproduction, pollination, and seed development and germination. Includes questions, review, and a quiz.
A teenage narrator presents general information about matter: its characteristics, qualities, properties, and states and changing states. Gives definitions and a review.
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.
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.
Focuses on organic chemistry experiments that demonstrate the preparation and properties of ethanol. Additional experiments review ethyne (acetylene), and naphthalene.
Introduces students to our planet Earth and its place in the solar system. Explains that Earth's unique position makes it conducive to life. Also explains the basics of earth science, including the water cycle, weather, and continents. Short review.
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.
Dr. Ronald Evans reviews how cell receptors called PPARs regulate body weight by controlling fat burning or storage. Part of the 2004 Howard Hughes Holiday Lecture Series.
Here's a riddle: What can you hear and feel, but not see or hold? The wind, of course! Investigate the mystery of wind: what it is, where it comes from, how we use it, and how it shapes our lives and the world around us. Learn about good versus destructive winds, and check your knowledge with a review.
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.
Philanthropist Greg Carr describes his work reviving a national park in Mozambique, and his partnership with scientists at Princeton University. Biologist Rob Pringle, who conducts research in Gorongosa, explains what it means to think like a scientist in conservation biology. Part of the “Think Like a Scientist” series.
The concept of propulsive thrust to move objects over large distances is ancient. Yet, the technology to move an automobile forward or a rocket into space was invented less than two centuries ago. The invention of the solid fuel propulsion system combined with Newton's Third Law is the simplistic basis for modern rocketry. Students will review the history of propulsion and explore its use as a viable energy source of the future.
Reviews appetite and hunger. Shows the actions of a salivary gland, the swallowing reflex, and the powerful churning of the stomach as food is broken down and processed.
Recapitulates and reviews the principal messages of the curriculum as it summarizes the functions and designs of the body's major systems and organs and the methods by which they interact. NOTE: Contains some nudity.
A black hole is a region of space having a gravitational field so intense that no matter or radiation can escape. In this episode, host Dianna Cowern leads a discussion on black holes and reviews Stephen Hawking's last paper on black holes. Part of the "Physics Girl" series.
Sea otters, the ultimate surf bum, are the crucial element for kelp forests and their diverse ecology. Reviews the history of otters on the Pacific coast and their near extermination. Describes the otters' habitat, physical characteristics, behaviors, diet, and use of "tools." This member of the weasel family has the lushest fur in the world.
Who are the biggest super stars in the universe? For Adam Burrows, an astrophysics professor at Princeton University, it's not who, but "what," and they are far from Hollywood, or even Earth, for that matter. Burrows reveals that the biggest super stars are the stars that die in a massive explosion called a "supernova." With support from the National Science Foundation, Burrows investigates supernovae, and he has recently created 3D computer simulations showing the actual moment of a star's death. His simulations are revealing more about these stellar performances.
