Comparative Anatomy: Dissection uses systematics and anatomy to illustrate the similarities and differences of systems in different organisms. Students learn how advances in medicine have come from the careful study of organs and have an opportunity to discuss the ethical codes of scientists. Through a lab investigation, students become comfortable with the scientific tools and habits of mind used in the fields of gross anatomy and histology. Part of the multivolume Science Lab Investigations! DVD Series. Includes a Teacher's Guide.
Discover how scientists are able to learn about the world around us by studying how light interacts with matter. Spectrophotometry gives students an understanding of the principles of spectral analysis and explains the relationship between absorbance and transmittance. Students then go inside the lab to put this information into action as they perform serial dilutions, develop a standard curve and determine the concentration of aspirin in two unknown solutions using a spectrophotometer. In the process, they use proper scientific procedures and come to understand that measurement errors may affect calculations. Part of the multivolume Science Lab Investigations! DVD Series. Includes a Teacher's Guide.
Winter, spring, summer and fall. We know what happens in our own backyards at these times during the year, but it isn't the same everywhere in the world! When it's warm and sunny where you are, it might be very different in other places of the world. Why do the seasons change? And what causes different regions in the world to have different climates? These and other questions are answered in All About Climate & Seasons, where young students will learn about these yearly changes through engaging examples and explanations. A hands-on investigation shows the effects of direct sunlight on areas of the world, while Dr. Jon Nese, chief meteorologist at The Franklin Institute Science Museum in Philadelphia, demonstrates the concept behind the device known as an orrery. Part of the multivolume Weather for Children DVD Series. A Teacher's Guide is included and available online. 23 minutes. Grades K to 4.
Titration allows students to apply scientific concepts to discover what a titration is, how it is performed and how to determine when it is complete. Students see how this technique is applied in a number of real-world settings and become actively engaged in an experiment by using a scientific approach to determine the amount of vitamin C in a number of foods. Viewers learn about proper safety procedures as they watch a group of high school students gather, organize and present their data. Part of the multivolume Science Lab Investigations! DVD Series. Includes a Teacher's Guide.
In The Laws of Motion: Hovercrafts, students will learn how to make and use models to investigate the principles behind the laws of motion. As they test and refine their project, students -- and viewers -- are encouraged to make predictions based on experimental evidence as they learn to calculate the effect of forces on the motion of objects. The concepts of Newtonian mechanics are investigated by using clear demonstrations and graphics, and students discover how technological advancements are built on scientific knowledge.

Have you ever wondered how a weather forecaster knows what the weather will be like? In All About Meteorology, young students will see how meteorologists can predict the weather for the upcoming week and even a few months down the road through scientific deduction and high-tech equipment. Students will visit with Dr. Jon Nese, chief meteorologist at The Franklin Institute Science Museum in Philadelphia, to get an up-close look at the equipment that meteorologists use to forecast the weather and explore such concepts as the water cycle and air pressure. Through a fun, hands-on demonstration, see how students can set up their own mini-weather station to monitor conditions in their own areas. Part of the multivolume Weather for Children DVD Series. A Teacher's Guide is included and available online. 23 minutes. Grades K to 4.
This program looks at the wide range of climates in North America and around the world, and examines how factors such as the sun, wind, temperature, precipitation and position of Earth determine the weather for a particular region. Live footage, vivid graphics and a hands-on experiment help to clearly illustrate these concepts. One of six volumes in the Weather Fundamentals DVD Series in the Schlessinger Science Library.

Challenge your class to solve a murder using a bloody stain left at the scene of the crime. Using simulated Neo/Blood, they'll identify whether or not the stain is actual blood. Then they'll solve the crime by performing ABO and Rh typing of both the stain as well as samples from the victim and several suspects. Students will learn about blood groups, blood typing and how blood stains can be used in solving crimes. Simulated Neo/Blood looks and behaves like real blood, giving you and your class quick, easy and completely safe results. This revolutionary substance realistically simulates agglutination. It even contains simulated, microscopic blood cells - of the same size and concentration as in actual human blood.
