SHOW ME SCIENCE ADVANCED - EARTH SCIENCE: PROPERTIES OF WATER

Over seventy percent of the Earth is covered with water around 326 million trillion gallons! Water is essential for life it gives plants ability to create sugar for food and it helps humans regulate temperatures and nourishes and protects the brain, spinal cord and other tissues. Water is equally important to the environment due to the intricate balance of the water cycle. This program takes an in-depth look at the chemistry of water and its different states and how each of them affects the world around us.

SHOW ME SCIENCE - EARTH SCIENCE: DRIFTING DESERT SANDS - AFFECTING THE WEATHER

Yellow clouds of nutrient-rich sand, iron particles and microscopic aerosols from the Sahara Desert blow north over Europe and west over the Atlantic Ocean to the Americas. Meteorologists research the impact of desert clouds to changes in climates, weather patterns and ecosystems. Desertification of forest lands and fertile agricultural areas increases the size and number of desert storms.

SHOW ME SCIENCE - EARTH SCIENCE: FOREST FARMING

Trees are an essential resource that we rely upon for a multitude of everyday needs. Meeting the world's increasing demands, while complying with conservation guidelines requires new arboriculture technology. From a computer at a sawmill, data - including desired tree length and diameter - is sent to harvesting machinery in the forest. Botanists are researching genetically manipulated (transgenic) trees to learn if they are suitable for integration into a natural environment.

SHOW ME SCIENCE - EARTH SCIENCE: SPRING WATER FROM THE SEA

Though 70% of Earth's surface is water, only approximately 2.5% is fresh water and in some places clean drinking water is scarce. After the discovery of a fresh water spring flowing deep in the Mediterranean Sea, scientists found a way to capture and deliver that valuable resource to the surface. Without depleting or damaging the ecosystem, they were able to engineer a device to harness this precious necessity.

SHOW ME SCIENCE - EARTH SCIENCE: WETLAND ANIMALS - BANDED STILTS

The Australian outback is home to a diverse group of organisms. When conditions are right, they play host to a distant, shoreline visitor the Banded Stilt. Though common to the country's coasts and tidal shallows, this bird travels great distances inland in search of a particular food at its inland breeding grounds. Due to an environmental event, the mystery behind this behavior was only recently discovered and documented. Cyclone Bobby started a chain reaction by flooding a dry salt lake that, when wet, supports a variety of algae, bacteria, and the all important brine shrimp. We see how animal life, microscopic organisms and the ecosystem are interconnected for the survival of all three.

SHOW ME SCIENCE ADVANCED - EARTH SCIENCE: DESERT SANDS - DUST FROM AFRICA

Sand particles from the Sahara desert have long been known to travel across the Atlantic Ocean and southward to the Amazon rain forest in accumulations called dust carpets. Water molecules adhere to the sand particles to form droplets that accumulate into clouds. The mineral-enriched water falls to earth in a downpour thereby nourishing the flora below. Mongolian desert dust carpets present problems for ecosystems upon which it falls. This program explores the science behind the storms and their impact on global climate.

Clouds have an enormous influence on the greenhouse effect. This is why it is important to find out what role clouds play in the climate and how they influence the thermal balance of the earth. Meteorologists studying clouds in Europe tell us that by learning about the microphysical processes that occur naturally in clouds, researchers gain new fundamental knowledge that can help improve weather and climate forecast models. This program explores known, speculated and unknown information about cloud structures and mechanisms. The newest technology and how it works is also presented. Students will discover how scientists study cloud formation by generating artificial clouds in a laboratory. They will research how clouds originate and how they react to surrounding natural elements.

SHOW ME SCIENCE ADVANCED - EARTH SCIENCE: THE BANDED STILT - A WETLAND SURVIVOR

From time to time, even the harshest environments surprise scientists. The Australian outback is one such place. As home to a diverse group of organisms, it sometimes plays host to a distant visitor, the banded stilt. When conditions in the Australian outback are right, a distant shoreline visitor, the Banded Stilt arrives by the thousands to breed. The mystery behind this behavior was finally documented when Cyclone Bobby started a chain reaction by flooding a dry salt lake in the outback. In this program we witness how a cyclone started a chain reaction, allowing a barren salt lake to flood, ultimately supporting a new brine shrimp population. We see how the food web works, as the mysterious banded stilts take advantage of the influx of brine shrimp to the area.

SHOW ME SCIENCE - EARTH SCIENCE: METEOROLOGY - STUDYING SEVERE WEATHER

Extreme weather events can cause widespread damage resulting in billions of dollars of losses. Recent events, such as blizzards, hurricanes, and droughts have been exceptionally devastating as a result of several environmental factors. The convergence of several weather systems and the right atmospheric conditions sometimes result in the perfect storm. This issue examines the factors behind catastrophic weather. It explains El Nino and La Nina, which are instigators of many unusual climactic events around the globe. These phenomena impact ocean temperatures, wind patterns and other atmospheric conditions. Other intense storms, such as Hurricane Sandy, result from the interaction of low pressure systems, which affect the direction and strength of the storm.

EARTH SCIENCE: GOLD - ROCKS & MINERALS

Throughout the ages men and women have cherished gold and many have had a compelling desire to amass great quantities of it - so compelling a desire that the need to seek and hoard gold was aptly named "gold fever". Gold was among the first metals to be mined because it commonly occurs in its native form. It is not combined with other elements, is imperishable and exquisite objects can be made from it. Dating back over 5,000 years ago, Gold was used by artisans of ancient civilizations to decorating tombs and temples. This program teaches a brief history of the discovery of Gold and explores the many uses throughout history. Subjects covered include: Physical and chemical characteristics of Gold, How Gold is connected to world economies, How Gold is found and classified, Various hypothesis on how Gold was formed in the Earth, Mining for Gold in underground mines, Open-pit mining for low grade Gold deposits.

Charles Darwin Explains the Diversity of Life
Come with us to Charles Darwin's home in Down, England; to the South American rainforest; and to the Galapagos Islands to learn how Darwin laid the foundation for modern biology with the revolutionary theory of evolution by natural selection.

The Origin of Species: Creationism and Evolution
When Charles Darwin visited the Amazonian rainforest and the Galapagos Islands in 1835 he, along with most of the scientific community of his day, believed in creationism. Come with us to these same sites today to see why he and scientists following him abandoned this theory and replaced it with the theory of evlution by natural selection.

RESOURCES, POPULATION AND CLIMATE CHANGE

Confronts head-on three critical science/technology/society issues of the 21st century. On all three issues it explores a contrarian point of view. That is, the program presents evidence in support of: (1) Natural resources are limited only by the ultimate natural resource, the human mind; (2) Population growth (or decline) is a problem, but not the overwhelming one some scientists and citizens considered it in the 20th century; and (3) Climate change is real but it may not be the most serious problem the world faces in the 21st century. While the program does take the contrarian point of view, it challenges the student (and the teacher) to investigate these critical issues and come to their own conclusions. In other words it is not dogmatic and offers a stimulating way to discuss these vital issues and to rationally explore what scientific methods can contribute to their solution.
