Students explore the relationship between observations and measuring things in science. Specific ways of measuring length, mass, volume, and temperature are demonstrated using tools common to the classroom. Other terminology includes unit of measurement, meter stick, metric ruler, balance, graduated cylinder, and thermometer.

Examines the similarities and differences between Mars and Earth. Comments on the size, color, atmosphere, and temperature of Mars. Includes footage from recent missions to Mars and speculates on possible manned space flights to the Red Planet.
What physiological changes happen as animals hibernate? During hibernation, animals lower their metabolism including respiration, heart rate, and temperature in order to conserve energy. This episode shows the relationship between regulating life-sustaining functions and maintaining homeostasis. Part of the "Seasonal Science" series.
Superhero Bruce Rain must stop a tornado, a blizzard, and a hurricane. As he races to stop the storms, Dr. Mother Nature explains the relationship between wind and severe weather. Part of "The Science of Climate" series.
How is meteorological information interpreted? A team takes a close up look at the methods, devices, and equipment used to generate, transmit, and process the information for the weather forecast. Part of Invisible Science and Technology Surrounding Series.
When the thermohaline circulation system stops flowing, Dr. Mother Nature calls in superhero Bruce Rain to help. As he works to solve the problem, he and Dr. Mother Nature explain the importance of oceans in regulating the Earth's temperature. Part of "The Science of Climate" series.
Water commonly exists in three different forms: ice, liquid, and vapor. The different phases of water serve as the foundation to teach students about solids, liquids, and gases. Other common everyday examples of solids, liquids, and gases are also featured. Concepts and terminology discussed include: particles, volume, shape, and temperature.
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 mammal.
The endocrine system maintains the body's delicate chemical balance. Describes the location, function, and effects of the major endocrine glands, and notes their close relationship to the nervous system. Some discussion of diabetes and hormonal imbalances.
Types of climates and climate zones are explained using familiar examples. This video explores the plants and animals that inhabit different climates, the influence of temperature and precipitation on climate, and the causes of climate change over time. Other topics covered include topography, prevailing winds, rain shadow, altitude, climate, latitude, polar zone, temperate zone, and tropical zone.
Does the wax of a candle melt or burn? In this scientists conduct an experiment to determine what really happens when a candle is lit. They also develop a method to calculate the amount of hair on a head. Part of the House of Science Series.
A hurricane hunter is a pilot that flies an airplane into the middle of a hurricane. They gather data on temperature, humidity, and air pressure. This data is critical for forecasting the intensity and path of hurricanes. Part of the "NOAA Ocean Today" series.
Thermodynamics deals broadly with the conservation and conversion of various forms of energy. It also describes the relationships between energy and the changes in properties of matter. Other topics covered include Hess's law, the laws of thermodynamics, and the Gibbs free energy. Part of the "Chemistry" series.
A manatee turns up in Trinity Bay near Galveston, Texas. He is named Trinidad, but several rescue groups must work to save him when the water temperature drops. Then, two sea lions in San Diego have life-threatening entanglements around their necks, so the SeaWorld team steps in to save them. Part of the Sea Rescue 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 what it means for substances to freeze. Part of the Science Video Vocab Series.
Presents three key concepts about chemical reactions and energy changes: exothermic and endothermic reactions, reaction rates involving temperature and concentration, and catalysts. Each concept is illustrated with a variety of experiments and computer animation to illuminate what is happening both visibly and at the molecular level.
Students take a scientific look at some of the important characteristics of the earth, moon, and sun. Differences and likenesses between earth, moon, and sun are discussed as well as how scientists explore these bodies. The main phases of the moon are addressed, as is the formation of tides. Terminology includes: gravity, atmosphere, lunar phase, tides, eclipse, high tide, and low tide.
Kayaker John Bowermaster has traveled to one of the driest places on earth to go kayaking. The altiplano region in the highlands of South America is a dry region with extreme temperatures, but nestled between the volcanoes are shallow mineral lakes. Segment of video from Wild Chronicles Series.
The Serengeti, in East Africa, is a vast grassland that is home to some of the greatest concentrations of herbivores. How does this environment support such large numbers of wildlife? What is the key to this exceptional grassland that allows such density and diversity? Part of the "Nature's Microworlds" series.
This short video explores the stages of decomposition of animal bodies and shows how microorganisms found during the decomposition process can provide useful information for criminal investigators. Through forensic experiments, scientists have shown that it may be possible to estimate time of death by sequencing the DNA from the microbes found on and around decomposing bodies. Part of the "I Contain Multitudes" series.
