Sagittal, or side view of the human brain shows the different lobes of the cerebral cortex. The frontal lobe is at the front center of the brain. The parietal lobe is at the top back part of the brain. The occipital lobe is at the back of the brain, and the temporal lobe is at the bottom center of the brain. The motor cortex is the back of the frontal lobe, and the olfactory bulb is the bottom part. The somatosensory cortex is the front part of the parietal lobe. The brainstem is beneath the temporal lobe, and the cerebellum is beneath the occipital lobe.

Cross sectional view of vein vs an arterie
Basic educational diagram showing a cross section of an animal cell. Design modalities for the image include braille with and without labels, print with and without labels in greyscale, color, and texture.
Examines the history and future of manned space stations. Covers the Russian Mir's 14-year stay in space and its replacement by the International Space Station in 2000. Reviews the purpose of the U.S. Space Shuttle, the loss of Challenger and Columbia, and the effect the shuttle's grounding has on the ISS. Notes how astronauts live on the ISS, and emphasizes that the space station offers an opportunity for international cooperation and discovery.

David Stahle travels to ancient forests around the world, collecting tree rings to learn more about major climate and historical events dating back hundreds and thousands of years. With help from the National Science Foundation, he uses dendrochronology, or tree-ring dating, to get a snapshot of climate change over time. Stahle runs the Tree-ring Lab at the University of Arkansas, where he and fellow tree-ring researchers are learning that a trend of global warming began in the 1800s and continues today, brought about by changes in tropical sea surface temperatures of no more than a few tenths of a degree Celsius. Today Stahle is working with hydrologists and government planners in California and throughout Mexico to plan for drought and climate change events.
Deeply explores the structure of both plant and animal cells. Demonstrates the different types of cells, their components, and their functions
Part of the "Branches on the Tree of Life" series. The bacteria section uses compelling microscopy of living bacteria to examine their structure, physiology, behavior, and the vital roles these microbes play in the biosphere.
The invention of the lens goes far beyond the glasses that sit on one’s nose. Galileo used lenses to create the telescope and bring faraway things closer to mankind. At the opposite end of the spectrum, the lens exposed the microscopic world, leading to medical advancements including vaccination, anesthetics, and antibiotics.
Watch the story of how gene therapy restored the sight of a nearly-blind young patient. Told from the perspective of two researchers who spent over 25 years working to develop this breakthrough technology, this short film chronicles their successes and challenges, and illustrates how the method works to treat inherited conditions.
Updates the five kingdoms classification scheme with the latest understanding of life's organization based on DNA, fossil, and biochemical evidence, reorganizing all life into three great branches: Archaea, Bacteria, and Eucarya. Shows concise animations and superb microscope footage of primitive cells.
In this episode, host Emily Graslie discusses the creation of museum exhibits with Max Garett. Garrett is known as "The Replicator," and he helps create authentic replicas for exhibits at The Field Museum. Part of "The Brain Scoop" series.
Guides deaf women through the third trimester of their pregnancy. Discusses medical considerations, nutrition, fitness, pregnancy, rights to an interpreter, and other issues. Also, covers what changes your body may experience by month to month. Also, explains stages of labor, C-section, discomforts of pregnancy, and monitoring fetal movements. Hosted by Deanne Bray of "Sue Thomas: F.B. Eye" and Missy Keast.
Features a wide variety of video footage, photographs, diagrams and colorful, animated graphics and labels. Begins with a simple definition, and this helps clarify pronunciation and provides opportunities to transfer words from working to long-term memory. Also concludes with a critical thinking question. For this particular clip, students will focus on food chain.
Part of the "Inside the Living Cell" series. Provides an overview of the different kinds of cells, emphasizing the fact that all cells have a common organizational structure and carry out similar biochemical processes. Presents the discovery of cells, cell structures, organelle function, cell varieties, and the chemistry of life.
In many ways our brains may be like those of animals, but in our capacity to think, to remember, and to create we are much different. Looks at some of the reasons for these differences, exploring the neural structure of the human brain, our physiological brain capacity, and the use of memory and symbols.
Students will explore the world of rocks and minerals. Through the use of animation and live video footage, this program demonstrates how rocks are formed and how they change. Students will also learn to identify common minerals and properties of rocks. Part of the Real World Science series.
Part of the "Active Physics, Third Edition" series. Contains the following sections: "Using Models: Intersections with a Yellow Light," "Sports Montage Introduction," "Conservation of Energy: Defy Gravity," "Safety Montage Introduction," "Acceleration Due to Gravity: Free Fall on the Moon," and "Modeling Human Motion: Bounding on the Moon."
The human brain is often compared to a computer, but this three-pound organ is far more complex, powerful, and capable than the most advanced computer. Everything we do, are, think, and feel begins with the brain. Defines the parts and functions of a brain cell, explores how the brain works, and mentions brain chemicals.
Follows a family's unplanned Cesarean birth from early labor through recovery. An obstetrician explains the Cesarean procedure and discusses ways to minimize risk. Shows the surgical procedure using 3-D animation. Presents information on breast-feeding and recovery, and how to make a Cesarean birth a fulfilling experience. NOTE: Concludes with graphic footage of an actual Cesarean surgery.
