Science

Contains 2 programs from the PBS Nature series.

Stars actor Jeff Goldblum and dramatizes the race to solve the structure of DNA. It is the story of the diligent research and perseverance of James Watson and Francis Crick that led to the discovery. Students of biology and genetics will benefit from the process of problem-solving used to identify the structure of DNA, as well as the clear, concise summary of research evidence.

There is a lot of controversy around genetic modification of organisms and cloning. This program looks at the way man has modified genomes of plants and animals used for food since the dawn of agriculture. As knowledge of cells and genetics has increased so has man's ability to alter genomes.

Professor Alan Trounson is a distinguished Australian scientist. He was one of the pioneers of IVF treatment for infertile couples, and is now a leading international figure in stem cell research. He reviews a range of techniques and issues related to stem cell research, including: maker cell biology, gene expression and epigenetics, applications of genetics and epigenetics, ?blinking on?

Shows the various physical forces at play in the pitch, the hit, the flight of the ball and the run around the bases. DVD includes 4 programs: 1. The Pitch takes a look at gravity, air drag, and the Magnus force. 2.

An Introduction to Forensic Science' we delved into the day-to-day activities and tasks of real-life forensic scientists and compared these with typical TV stereotypes. But before you draw a conclusion that specialist forensics work must be dull, let?s put on our lab coats and get involved in the forensic investigation of a mock-up crime!

Four 20-minute videos about the Metric system:

In Planet Earth, we brought you the world as you've never seen it before. Now, get closer with Life.

As background, a brief history is presented of what new information caused the classification of living things to evolve from the original 2 Kingdom classification of Animals and Plants by Linnaeus in the 18th century to the present day 6 Kingdoms: Animal, Plant, Fungi, Protista, Eubacteria, and Archaebacteria.

The key concepts in Part 1 are briefly reviewed. Organisms in the Protista Kingdom are virtually all single-celled. Most are heterotrophic, some are autotrophic like algae, a few like euglena are both. Most reproduce asexually, but occasionally some also sexually which produces genetic variation and long term evolutionary benefits.

A 4 DVD set containing approximately 44 segments showing various science demonstrations or illustrations of abstract concepts that a classroom teacher may not be able to do because of financial, time, safety or equipment concerns. Most demonstrations are followed by animations to illustrate and explain the abstract concepts.
