Alaska |
What makes Alaska the last great wilderness on earth? Why is it the best place to see the northern lights, and why are the mountains full of sea creatures? Skiing from the peak of Mt. Muir, paragliding to the top of a glacier, ice climbing into a moving ice crevasse, kayaking down a dangerous melt stream, and climbing an iceberg, extreme adventurer Will Gadd discovers how plate tectonics and volcanic eruptions created Alaska's mountains. With help from geologists and volcanologists, Gadd goes back hundreds of millions of years to uncover how the massive mountains—and the state itself—were formed. Deep inside a glacier he comes to grips with how these massive giants carved the landscape and wonders how global warming has already altered one of the world's last great wilderness areas. |

Away We Go: All About Transportation |
Whether we are traveling to some far away place or simply going to school,transportation is an important part of our lives. This full motion video explores how transportation affects our lives. Eating breakfast is something we do everyday; transportation brings food from farms and factories to our homes. Visiting grandparents, friends, or taking a vacation requires the use of transportation. See how we depend on buses, trains, planes, ships and cars. Have you visited the moon yet? With transportation, this may be possible in the future. This video also compares transportation in the past to the present and shows how the development of more advanced forms of transportation have brought people closer together and made travel and trade easier. We will see that our world has, indeed, been made smaller because of these advances in transportation. |

Conservation of Natural Resources |
How can conservation of habitat and natural resources be balanced with people's desire to consume the resources? That's the million-dollar question. The video presents a few ways that it can be done. By recycling some of the billions of plastic bottles Americans use every year, would-be landfill waste becomes fleece clothing. Living waste water treatment plants, like the one cartoonist Jim Davis uses at his office, clean water naturally without polluting chemicals or waste. Naturally coloured cotton needs no pesticides to grow and produces a coloured fibre that doesn't fade. And reclaimed and sustainable materials make excellent building materials that last, don't harm the environment, and even cost less to maintain. These examples prove that conservation and consumerism can co-exist and even flourish. |

In a clear, concise manner, this program explores the causes of land masses splitting. Starting with the theory that continents can move (continental drift) to the idea that the earth's shell is broken into plates that move (plate tectonics), the narrator explains divergent boundary, convergent boundary and transform boundary. Other topics covered are seafloor spreading, mid-ocean ridge, subduction zone, faults and seismic waves. Viewers will see that ocean waves will break on new shorelines, towering mountains will rise in places that are now flat and earthquakes and volcanoes will continue to shape the new land. |

Earthquakes |
It may seem as if we're all on solid ground, but that ground is in constant motion, experiencing more than a million earthquakes a year. Earth's crust floats on tectonic plates that shift and collide, causing seismic activity. You can actually see the San Andreas Fault, which runs from Mexico to Oregon. It's a hot bed of study, where scientists use everything from seismographs to creep meters to measure the Earth's movement in the area. No one can predict earthquakes yet, but scientists are trying to at least be able to determine when large quakes are coming. Since millions live in quake zones, the best protection is to reinforce buildings so that they can withstand the shaking. One place to see the effect of earthquakes is the Himalayas, the five-mile-high mountain chain still being formed by the collision of the Asian and Indian plates. |

History of the Earth |
Things have changed a lot for planet Earth in the past 4.6 billion years. Once a lifeless ball of magma, Earth has transformed many times, and the life that appeared some 3.8 billion years ago continues to change along with it. Bacteria that thrive in high heat, pressure, and toxic chemicals may hint at what early life might have been like. And Earth is still not quiet. The geologically active Yellowstone National Park offers a glimpse of the turbulence beneath Earth's crust. Seeing the movement of the continents over the millennia, it's clear that Earth's landmasses are in a constant state of flux. Scientists who study geology and fossils offer evidence of this movement. Some 65 million years ago, Earth went through a different kind of change. That's when a six-mile-wide meteorite slammed into the Yucatan Peninsula, possibly ushering in the extinction of the dinosaurs. There is evidence that a meteor strike occurred at that time, but whether it can be blamed for the dinosaurs' demise is still debated. What is sure is that the loss of the dinosaurs made way for the age of mammals. |

Land and Water |
Wind and rain wear it down; rivers carry it away and drop it somewhere else. The soil and sediment of Earth is ever moving. Glacial ice and river water are two great forces in this process. Glaciers carve out entire valleys as they creep along. Rivers carry millions of tons of sediment that becomes farm land, even new dry land where there hadn't been any. The importance of rivers to people is evident in the placement of populations: The world's largest cities are generally on rivers. Damming them has brought energy and flood control, but the costs often include loss of habitat and soil enriching sediment. As rivers spill downhill and meander into rich deltas, they affect the geography, environment and living things along the way. Nowhere is this clearer than in New Orleans, a city that owes its existence to the Mississippi River. |

Macro Economic Concepts |
Macro economics is the study of the factors that influence, and result from, the large scale functions of economies. It is the way economists measure the behaviour and functioning of economies. To do this, economists quantify aspects of the economics process using economic aggregates, or averages; measurements, such as the Gross National Product; unemployment; and inflation. This program looks at how these measurements can provide insights into the health of an economy, how they impact the purchasing power of currencies, and ways governments can control and impact economic aggregates. |

Mapping the Earth |
Early navigators got lost a lot, and it's no wonder. With only the stars and visible landmarks to guide them, it's amazing they ever got where they were going. What they needed was a good map. Of course, we're a bit spoiled today. With help of the Global Positioning System (GPS), the location of a ship at sea or Aunt Mildred's car can be known with ease and precision, as a GPS receiver taps into satellites, pinpointing the exact location. Satellites orbiting Earth gather visual images and measure radio waves to paint a very accurate picture of the planet. In 1998, such a device measured the exact height of Mt. Everest. To map the ocean floor, different technology is needed: sonar. Measuring and mapping the bouncing patterns of sound waves helps fill in the inky depths. But satellites are now playing a part in sea floor mapping as well. By reading the ocean surface and measuring tiny variations, satellites can create a picture of what lies beneath. |

Specifically, it looks at how businesses in the market economy go about using limited resources to produce and distribute goods and services. This program demonstrates how the market sets prices and determines the quantity and nature of goods and services produced, and demonstrates the roles of competition and regulation. The character of a well-functioning market economy -with its back-and-forth flow of money and factors of production- is analysed. What happens when the market process fails, and the tools available to correct market failures are explained. |

Oceans |
Oceans cover three quarters of Earth's surface and are home to its largest variety of life. But there is much we still don't know about the seas or the life they harbor. The crushing water pressure, extreme cold and darkness of the ocean depths have prevented us from exploring 90 percent of the ocean floor. We know a bit more about the living marine cities of coral reefs: enough to know that they are endangered by many human activities such as dredging, filling and pollution. We know that many types of fish are over exploited, and their numbers are in decline. The inner workings of ocean currents are more of a mystery. The accidental dumping of floating toys in the Pacific helped scientists trace currents as the toys floated to Alaska on an 11-year journey. The movements of mid and deep ocean currents affect everything from water temperature and salinity to Earth's weather patterns. Just as tides and waves shape the coastlines, currents reshape the ocean floor. |

Rocks and Minerals |
Rocks are the foundation that continents and oceans rest upon. Solid as they may seem, rocks are constantly being eroded and reformed in a process called the rock cycle. Nowhere is the geologic history of Earth made plainer than in the Grand Canyon, where rock layers offer us clues to life over the past 1.2 billion years. Thanks to glaciers, another geologically revealing place is Yosemite Valley, where ancient granite walls stand exposed by the ice that carved out the valley millennia ago. Core samples and fossil finds in places such as the Grand Canyon and Yosemite tell of Earth's geologic past and the evolution of life. Once humans arrive on the scene, rocks take on new stature as objects of art and value. No gem was more valuable to the Maya than jade. And gold is universally prized. They are proof that the Earth holds many treasures. |

Just one of billions of stars in our galaxy,the sun's gravitational pull holds the planets, comets, meteors, and asteroids in orbit. This ordinary star produces the heat and light that make life on Earth possible. The sun will live a life of about 10 billion years before expanding and then contracting to become a white dwarf. Larger stars' life cycles are more dramatic. They may go supernova and even form black holes, vast expanses where gravity is so strong that not even light can escape. |

Space Exploration |
Galileo started it all with his hand-held telescope. It was powerful enough to see some of Jupiter's moons and show that the Earth isn't the centre of the universe. Space exploration has mushroomed in the past 50 years. Rockets that originally lofted weapons during World War II were converted to carry satellites, then astronauts. But more has been learned from unmanned probes and telescopes than from manned missions. The Hubble Space Telescope is a perfect case in point. With Hubble, we've been able to see billions of light years into space. And the view is amazing. It makes us wonder if we're alone in the universe. Future missions to Mars may reveal whether life once existed on the Red Planet. If extreme living bacteria on Earth are any indication, there may well be proof of ancient Martian microbes. The workhorses of NASA, the space shuttles, have launched probes and taken astronauts toservice Hubble and kept our knowledge growing. |

The Universe |
Riding a bicycle around the solar system scale model in Peoria, Illinois, makes it clear just how big the solar system is. And it's just one little corner of a galaxy containing hundreds of billions of stars, among some 50 billion galaxies in the universe, each containing hundreds of billions of stars of their own. It's staggering. The sun is the centre of our little corner of the universe. An ordinary star, it is about 5 billion years old, and should shine for another 5 billion years before expanding, then contracting into a dim white dwarf no bigger than Earth. Understanding the movement of celestial bodies is no small feat, but the Maya were accomplished in determining the movements of Venus, a planet whose apparent appearance and disappearance were integral to Maya religion. Not long ago, scientists were able to find other planets orbiting other stars. Could there be any like Earth that support life? That's the question astronomers with SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) hope to answer. They use radio telescopes to listen for signals from other worlds. So far, the airwaves have been quiet, but if the Drake equation is accurate, there may be many other intelligent species out there. |
