There is a controversy over flounder fishing regulations off Atlantic Coast. Each party offers their arguments for keeping or canceling the fishing regulations. Fishermen claim the founder has made a comeback off the coast. While conservationist urge caution in freeing up size restrictions on caught fish. Segment of video from Wild Chronicles Series.
Carl Pennypacker at UC Berkeley runs Universe Quest, a summer program supported by the National Science Foundation to engage girls in science exploration. Some of the summer activities include: looking through a world-class telescope, going out to the beach to measure tides, and designing online games.
Summer ice retreat in the Chukchi Sea between Alaska and Russia is a significant climate change impact affecting Pacific Walruses. Scientists follow walruses in their summer sea ice habitat and show how United States Geological Survey (USGS) biologists use satellite radio tags to track their movements and behavior. The information identifies areas of special importance to walruses during sparse summer sea ice.

It is a hot summer night, and the children are unable to go to sleep. With the help of some of Suzie's magic, they find themselves floating on a large piece of ice in the ocean. They have a great time learning about the characteristics of polar climates. Part of the "My Little Planet" series.
K-12 teachers attend a summer institute in physics education to learn the "guided inquiry" method of teaching physics. They learn inquiry skills by working through problems and experiments, questioning each other's rationales, and modeling the instructors' method of asking questions that "correct reasoning." The institute's purpose is not only to change the way physics is taught, but also to clarify teachers' understanding of basic physics principles.
Highlights the importance of elephants in Indian culture. Shows how they are trained, how people care for them in captivity, how they are represented in culture, and how human needs are affecting their native habitats. Follows a female mahoot (elephant handler) travelling with elephants on the annual summer migration, a three-hundred-mile journey east across northeast India.
