Fittle is an accessible learning toolset for visually challenged kids, in the form of a playful puzzle. By feeling braille letters embossed on the word blocks, and then feeling the shape that s/he has fit together, the kid can touch what the object might feel like in real.

Part of the animated "Johan, the Young Scientist" series. Intrigued by the idea that wet laundry can simply dry up, Johan goes to ScienScape to learn about evaporation and condensation. Together with Moki and Ani, they must solve the puzzle of how to hold water using a toothpick.

The horseshoe crab is a remarkable prehistoric animal and a modern medical marvel. Middle school students in South Carolina investigate horseshoe crabs, their life cycle, habitats, and the threats that affect them. One of nature’s puzzle pieces, they fit into place as an important partner with humans.
It's called a theory, but if we have never seen an atom, how did anyone ever come up with an idea that is so central to science. Shows how all the pieces of the puzzle have come together at the same time, explaining the structure of the atom and the periodic table.
Today's telescopes study the sky across the electromagnetic spectrum. Each part of the spectrum tells scientists different things about the universe, giving them more pieces of the cosmic jigsaw puzzle. The most powerful telescopes on the ground and in space have joined forces over the last decade in a unique observing campaign, known as the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey, or GOODS, which reaches across the spectrum and deep back into cosmic time.
As shown on the History Channel. We are so familiar with the map of United States, but do we know why our states look the way they do? Every shape on the map tells a story about our past. Why is California bent? To cling on to gold. Why does Oklahoma have a panhandle? Because of shifting borders for slavery. Why does Missouri have a boot? Because of a massive earthquake. Examines how every state is a puzzle piece revealing the unique geography, political, and social history of America.
A mysterious killer is lurking in the steely waters off the east coast of Canada. Scientists are baffled by all the corpses on the beach. The seals bear bizarre spiral wounds which have led to one theory that one of the most elusive of all sharks is responsible, the Greenland shark. Scientists from the Canadian Shark Research Laboratory and the Apex Predator Program in the United States will try to solve the puzzle of the dead seals once and for all. Please note: this title shows images of animal corpses and shark attacks on seals.
This animated short tells the story of Alfred Wegener, a German astronomer and atmospheric scientist, who came up with the idea that continents once formed a single landmass and had drifted apart. Continental drift explained why continents' shapes fit together like pieces of a puzzle and why distant continents had the same fossils. During Wegener’s time, the idea was met with hostility but after his death a large body of evidence showed that continents do indeed move. Today the theory of plate tectonics is a fundamental principle in geology.
In some parts of the world, there is an intimate connection between the infectious parasitic disease "malaria" and the genetic disease "sickle-cell anemia." A keenly observant young man named Tony Allison, working in East Africa in the 1950s, first noticed the connection and assembled the pieces of the puzzle. His story stands as the first and one of the best understood examples of natural selection, where the selective agent, adaptive mutation, and molecule involved are known-and this is in humans to boot. The protection against malaria by the sickle-cell mutation shows how evolution does not necessarily result in the best solution imaginable but proceeds by whatever means are available.

Anna has built a successful business from the ground up, and upon retirement, she leaves the company to her employees, not to her son. What does that decision tell us about Anna's psychology and about the development of the human brain over a lifetime? Explores the emotional and neurological elements of learning, explaining how the brain processes and stores experiences and prepares for future decision-making. Employing real-to-life dramatizations, Anna's journey from innocent teenager to philosophical retiree--and the changes that take place in her cortex, hippocampus, and neural synapses as she faces and overcomes challenges--are all depicted. In addition, several influential brain experiments from the past decade are described.
The Magic School Bus is an award winning animated children’s television series based on the book series of the same title by Joanna Cole and Bruce Degen. It is notable for its use of celebrity talent and being both highly entertaining and educational. It's the International Show-and-Tell Competition, and Arnold and DA are representing Ms. Frizzle's class. Arnold brings a webbed hoop, left behind by his great-aunt Arizona Joan, the famous archaeologist. But he has no idea what it is. Using clues from the hoop and Joan's journal, the kids make educated guesses about its uses. To test their hypotheses, Ms. Frizzle turns the bus into a "Supposatron," a magical device designed to evaluate guesses. Can the kids solve the puzzle before Arnold and DA take the stage?
Snakes certainly make it look easy when they slither forward, leaving perfect S-curve tracks behind them, but scientists have long been puzzled by the mechanics of their locomotion. Now, after a series of experiments and some computer modeling, David Hu has cracked the case. With funding from the National Science Foundation, he’s using math to determine how snakes slither and it turns out they move in a much different way than scientists have long thought.
In this episode, groups of citizen scientists use mobile technology to help save lives. Volunteers across North America measure precipitation, and their data is used by emergency managers to issue warnings during extreme weather conditions. In India, a phone app helps officials alert communities about killer heat waves. Citizen scientists also help collect data about Alzheimer's disease. They hope their data will aid the research process and lead to a cure. Part of "The Crowd and the Cloud" series.
