Are they really causing climate change? Global warming has suddenly become the hottest environmental issue, and this program clearly explains the science of greenhouse effect and the evidence that we are causing climate change. The DVD contains an advanced version for senior students, with in-depth analysis of greenhouse gases and their effects. In addition there are fascinating extras including ice core research in Antarctica, how warming threatens coral reefs, and how carbon capture and storage work. #12131/0545 25 minutes 2006 Includes Guide $99 THE NEW GREEN REVOLUTION What will it take to create an eco-friendly global economy? This program addresses the financial, technological, and organizational obstacles that must be overcome before human society and planet Earth can truly coexist. Drawn from the series ETHICAL MARKETS: Growing the Green Economy and futurist Hazel Henderson's book by the same title, the program contains powerful insights from engineers, energy experts, venture capitalists, and product development specialists - all of whom are committed to building a greener world. Interviews with Tradelink president Keith Bronstein, National Venture Capital Association president Mark Heeson, Cleantech chairman Nicholas Parker, and many others enliven the discussion. #12307/0635 59 minutes 2007 $249.95 ROOM TO ROAM: The Impact of Human Land Uses on Species Survival *Gold Award of Excellence- Interpretation Canada *Silver Screen Award: US International Film & Video Festival This contemporary multi-award winning environmental science mini-series explores the reasons, causes, and solutions surrounding how human land uses eat up healthy natural space (habitats) and render it useless for other species. This pervasive trend is fueled by the Myth of Superabundance - the belief that animals and plants can go 'somewhere else'. The fascinated ecologist and thoughtful teacher, Ernie, brings science and guests to candidly explore ideas and attitudes which help reveal the cumulative effects of human activities on the land. Guided solutions and hands-on exercises include: Green Mapping; Calculating Ecological Footprints; Reducing them; and, Protecting natural spaces with parks and innovations such as the Y2Y (Yellowstone to Yukon) Conservation Initiative. Ernie is on the scene in the Yukon, Northwest Territories, Alberta, and Wyoming. *Includes Study Guide (Detailed descriptions of each part are available on our website) #9585/0240 Three 30-minute programs on one DVD 2005 Includes Guide $249.95 *Canadian Production *** See also THE IROQUOIS SPEAK OUT FOR MOTHER EARTH on Page 76 in this catalogue 90
SCIENCE – High School to Adult MEASUREMENT: The Long and the Short of It - Emphasizing hands-on practice, this program is an excellent tool for introducing the basics of linear measurement: its history, terminology, systems, and practical applications. Using both customary and metric rulers, will guide students through the process of taking measurements, performing related calculations using whole numbers and fractions, and arriving at answers they can feel confident with. By the time the program is over, students will understand exactly what measurement is - and why it's relevant to their lives. Recommended for middle, high, and vocational/technical school. #11525/0635 16 minutes 2007 Includes Workbook $129.95 MATH CAN TAKE YOU PLACES - With schools struggling to boost mathematics scores, math teachers need all the guidance they can get. This program contains a powerful tool-chest full of lesson demonstrations, professional development videos, and an interactive quiz - all designed to help educators develop real-world teaching examples and applications. Five segments feature a high-energy middle-school teacher in action, leading students through measurement, equivalency, domain/range/reasonableness, problem-solving, and patterns. Five additional segments focus on professional development, presenting tips from experienced teachers on honing algebraic thinking, incorporating video and the Internet, implementing manipulative learning tools, and showing how math is used in everyday life. #12478/0635 50 minutes 2005 Guide $129.95 NUCLEAR ENERGY: The Basics Introduces the basics of how a nuclear power station works. Understand what is fission and the role of cooling water in nuclear reactors; the nuclear fuel cycle: mining, milling, enrichment, fabrication and spent fuel (storage and reprocessing). Discover other uses including "non-power". Includes sequences designed for student enrichment /teacher background (breeder reactors, fusion and fusion reactors, and fission). #13053 22 minutes 2008 $99 NUCLEAR ENERGY: Advanced - In addition to covering all topics in the basic version of NUCLEAR ENERGY, also covers a number of advanced topics. Understand the use of water to vary reactor power, as well as different methods of mining uranium and witness a specific example of a fission reaction. Students will be introduced to more detailed discussion of enrichment, including structure properties of Uranium Hexafluoride, centrifuging, gas diffusion and the decommissioning of nuclear power stations. Includes sequences designed for student enrichment and teacher background (breeder reactors, fusion and fusion reactors, fission). #13053 27 minutes 2008 $99 NUCLEAR ENERGY: The Issues - Nuclear power produces almost a fifth of the world's electricity. Supporters say it's safe, cheap and - best of all - the answer to global warming. Critics say it's not safe, or cheap. And it won't really help with the global warming problem. So who's right? This program presents the arguments for and against, with relevant background information. Issues covered in this program include: radioactive waste - how hazardous is it? Can it be safely stored? How likely is an accident at a nuclear power plant? What could the consequences be? Are nuclear power stations terrorist targets? Does nuclear power encourage the development of nuclear weapons? Is nuclear energy carbon-free? Is it the solution to global warming? #13055 31 minutes 2008 $99 EVOLUTION - Teaches the basic science of modern evolution theory. Includes a history of how evolution was discovered and reviews present-day controversies. PART ONE - How Theories of Evolution Were Developed. PART TWO - A straight-forward presentation of the theory of evolution by natural selection as it is understood by most biologists today. #10877/0845 41 minutes 2007 Includes Learning Power Book $189.95 *CC METHODS OF HEAT TRANSFER Using numerous examples of how heat transfer is used in everyday life, this fascinating program takes students on a lively journey through the mechanisms and practicalities of heat transfer, clearly explaining the mechanisms of conduction, convection and radiation and introducing the concept of thermal capacity of an object. #12961/0545 23 minutes 2007 $129.95 Grades 8 to A RADIATION Interactive DVD - The world is made of atoms. The world is powered by radiation. Few subjects are so important and few so misunderstood. This program will help students learn what radiation is, how it was discovered and what are the risks and benefits for people today. PART ONE - Students will learn how scientists like Newton, Young, Maxwell, Becquerel and Curie discovered basic facts about radiation. PART TWO - Students will learn facts and theories about radiation today, both the benefits and the risks. #11394/0845 38 minutes 2007 Includes Guide $189.95 Grades 7 to A *CC THE CHEM LAB: Safety in Every Step - "Maximize your knowledge and minimize your risk!" That's the primary message of this program, an informative introduction to the chemistry laboratory that shows high school and first-year college students precisely how to conduct themselves in a safe and professional manner. Familiarity with the properties and safe handling of all materials used in the lab is stressed, including how to dispose of hazardous waste, and the proper use of safety gear and equipment is explained as well as how to react in the case of a lab emergency. #12057/0635 20 minutes 2008 Includes PDF Guide $129.95 91
