The 14th-18th centuries are notable periods in history that radically transformed scientific thought. Traditional understandings and worldviews faced major changes as new scientific discoveries challenged long held beliefs in science, philosophy, and society. This was a revolutionary time for scholars, artists, scientists, and philosophers. Part of the “Civilizations and Ideas” series.

This episode features new scientific discoveries related to climate and energy conservation. Segments include new developments for ice-proof coating for large structures, evidence that planting trees in cities can offset neighborhood heat islands, and advances in harnessing sunlight from wastewater. Part of the "4 Awesome Discoveries You Probably Didn't Hear About This Week" series.
This episode features a new device that is designed to safely capture and release soft-bodied creatures for scientific studies, and a group of scientists at Stanford have discovered that some bacteria are protected by a coating similar to armor. Also in this episode, researchers are working to engineer bacteria that create fertilizer out of air. Part of the "4 Awesome Discoveries You Probably Didn't Hear About This Week" series.
Part of a series that features a wide variety of video footage, photographs, diagrams and colorful, animated graphics and labels. Begins with a simple definition of the term and concludes with a critical thinking question. For this particular video, students will focus on the scientific discoveries of Isaac Newton. Part of the Science Video Vocab Series.
First in a three-part series exploring the history of race perceptions and behaviors towards races in the United States. Explores how recent scientific discoveries have toppled the concept of biological race. Follows a dozen high school students who sequence and compare their own mitochondrial DNA looking for a "race marker," with surprising results. Also looks at the history of racism in the United States, the advent of stereotypes based on physical attributes attributed to races, and somatotypes, with particular reference to African Americans.
As shown on the History Channel. Mount Vesuvius is the world's most dangerous volcano, and it threatens three million people. It was responsible for the most famous natural disaster of ancient history, the eruption that destroyed the Roman city of Pompeii. And its most recent blast was caught on film in 1944. Today Vesuvius is the most densely populated volcano in the world. Now recent scientific discoveries show that it is capable of an eruption larger than ever before thought possible and that hidden beneath Vesuvius there is a vast magma chamber of boiling hot rock, ready to come out.
To what degree are we genetically programmed with certain traits and abilities? Looks at recent technologies and scientific discoveries and considers the classic "nature versus nurture" discussion. Segments cover identical twins, the science of biotechnology, and the genetic inheritance of working dogs. Investigates the similarities in personality shared by identical twins. Explains how recent breakthroughs in genetics research and DNA have created new ways to solve crimes, breed (clone) animals, and extend human life. Discusses cross-species cloning, human cloning, and gene therapy. Shows how assistance and search-and-rescue dogs can be taught to overcome their inborn instincts and fear.
Psychiatrist and author Dr. Norman Doidge travels across North America to meet some of the pioneering researchers who made revolutionary discoveries about the plasticity of the human brain. He also visits with people, once thought to have had incurable brain injuries, who are now living normal lives. Known in scientific circles as "neuroplasticity," this radical new approach to the brain provides an incredible way to bring the human brain back to life.
The word "theory" is used differently in casual, everyday life than when discussing scientific matters. This episode discusses scientific theory and law. Part of "The Amoeba Sisters" series.
Two teenagers apply the scientific method to solving everyday problems: explaining a burned-out light bulb and exploring the possibility of falling toast landing jelly-side down. Defines terms and offers other examples to demonstrate the scientific method in use.
Explains where and when the scientific method originated and describes each of the five steps that comprise the method. Each step is broken down and explained through a series of scientific experiments.
The process known as the scientific method gives scientists a format for engaging in a step-by-step approach to come up with a reasonable solution to a proposed hypothesis. It is important for students to understand and use the scientific method when solving problems and answering questions. This program identifies the steps of the scientific method and provides real-world examples of the scientific method being used to solve everyday problems. Part of the "Real World Science" series.
Presents general information about the scientific method and identifies its steps. Gives simple examples of how it is used in daily life and restates the steps several times.
Part of a series that features a wide variety of video footage, photographs, diagrams and colorful, animated graphics and labels. Begins with a simple definition of the term and concludes with a critical thinking question. For this particular video, students will focus on the term scientific law. Part of the Science Video Vocab Series.
Part of a series that features a wide variety of video footage, photographs, diagrams and colorful, animated graphics and labels. Begins with a simple definition of the term and concludes with a critical thinking question. For this particular video, students will focus on the scientific theory. Part of the Science Video Vocab Series.
Uses practical examples to help students understand and use the components of the scientific method. Concepts and terminology: hypothesis, experiment, measuring, data, analysis, and conclusion.
Most people think of venom as something to be avoided at all costs since some animals use it to kill other animals or humans. But modern researchers now use scientific methods to study animal toxins, and they have discovered that the thousands of venom types on planet earth may help cure or control many human ailments from chronic pain to life-threatening bleeding to cancer and Parkinson's disease. Dramatizes worldwide case studies of venomous animals, their captures by scientists, and the laboratory processes that could create one man's cure from another creature's poison.
