There is a mega mystery in Megabays. The kelp in Big Bay is washing ashore. What is causing the underwater kelp forest to collapse? Part of the "Cyberchase" series.
During a trip to CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, host Dianna Cowern discusses dark matter with a theoretical physicist. Scientists at CERN are using the Large Hadron Collider to search for dark matter. Part of the "Physics Girl" series.
Dark matter is a scientific mystery. But physicists like Dan McKinsey theorize it must exist because without it, the universe would look quite different. With support from the National Science Foundation, McKinsey and a team of scientists from across the U.S. and Europe are hard at work on the Large Underground Xenon, or LUX, experiment. Nearly a mile straight down an old mine shaft at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in Lead, South Dakota, the team searches for the existence of one possible type of dark matter called weakly interacting massive particles, or WIMPs. Part of the National Science Foundation Series “Science Nation.”
For seven days in the Fall of 2012, Hurricane Sandy pounded the Caribbean and the East Coast of the United States with punishing rain, wind, and waves. What happened in the atmosphere that caused this monstrous storm to form? Summer and winter weather conditions collided with extreme forces to form a super storm. Part of the "Danger Zone" 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.
Part of being an active citizen is taking care of the environment. In this episode, students learn all about the history of the environmental movement in the United States and the origins of the holiday known as Earth Day. Part of the "Constitution Hall Pass."
The lionfish is invading the Atlantic and Caribbean waterways with catastrophic results. This non-native species has no local predators and is propagating at a rate that adversely impacts the coral reef habitats of the Eastern United States, Caribbean, and South America. This is a story of communities banding together to ensure the protection of native species. Scientists and citizens are monitoring the situation, and high school marine biology students are studying the feeding behavior of this voracious predator.
United States Geological Survey geologist, Angie Diefenbach, describes how she uses GIS (Geographic Information Systems) software to study volcanic erupts and their impacts on society.
What if the source codes for the Internet had remained with the U.S. military rather than being released to the world? How did civilians gain unfettered access to the Internet? Three key events contributed to the development of this modern technology: the launch of Sputnik, the United States military conducts an ambitious project, and computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee invents the web and puts the very first Internet site on line. Part of the "Butterfly Effect" series.
Joyce Poole, elephant researcher and conservationist, shares her insights and convictions about this large, dignified animal. Closeup photography support her discussion about elephant family units, mating rituals, behaviors, and "vocabulary." Recently lifted bans on elephant ivory means this endangered animal is even more at risk.
Throughout North America, the species known as the dark-eyed junco exhibits striking differences in feather color, body size, and behavior from place to place. These variations among subspecies have caught the attention of biologists interested in diversification, evolution, and speciation. This segment features footage from junco habitats across the continent as researchers try to decode the riddle of the Junco’s evolutionary history. Part of Ordinary Extraordinary Junco (Chapter 3).
Size, weight, density, color, and texture are just a few of the ways to characterize matter. Students also learn ways to measure matter. Concepts and terminology include characteristic, physical, chemical, density, particles, and weight.
For millennia, hurricanes have threatened the Eastern United States, the Caribbean, and parts of Latin America. But changes to global climate have serious consequences for the future. For example, rising sea-levels mean that storm surge from hurricanes will impact ever further inland. In episode three, specialists discuss why they believe that hurricanes will become less frequent but increasingly powerful. Insight and interviews from leading experts such as Nobel Prize-winning climatologist, Jean-Pascal Van Ypersele, explore the preparations needed to withstand a super storm. Part of the "Hurricane, the Anatomy" series.
Ever wonder where millions of retired vehicles end up? An old jalopy begins a fascinating journey towards a new incarnation of steel. Watch as a car gets crushed, shredded, melted, and transformed. Learn how its components change form with the addition of energy. Part of the "Break It Down" series.
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.
Residents of Flint, Michigan describe their personal struggles with medical issues which arose from contaminated water. Lead from aging lines leached into the local water supply, along with bacteria and other contaminants, creating a serious health crisis. This documentary highlights the stories of residents who were personally injured, along with the work of local organizations and individuals that rallied to support them.
Throughout U.S. history, Hispanics have contributed and achieved in building the West, in medicine and science, in entertainment, journalism, business, education, civil rights, politics, in sports, and more. Highlights Judy Baca bringing the Hispanic muralist movement to the United States, Roberto Clemente as the first Hispanic elected into baseball's Hall of Fame, Hispanic golfer Nancy Lopez winning her first LPGA Championship, Walter Alvarez proposing dinosaur extinction caused by asteroid impact, Franklin Chang-Diaz as the first Hispanic American in space, Dr. Antonia Novello as the first Hispanic surgeon general, and Linda Alvarado winning the Horatio Alger Award.
Conservation efforts benefit everyone, and this episode explores the various efforts to protect the monarch butterfly. Today, the governments of Canada, Mexico, and the United States maintain a common political project in favor of the conservation of these insects. Part of the "Bios: Nature and Society" series.
The United States Geological Survey (USGS) conducts research on the Mojave Desert Tortoise, and part of the research includes ensuring the survival of the species. This short clip depicts the hatching on new Mojave Desert Turtles.
