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.

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
