Fossils are historic blueprints -- remnants of plant and animal life that preceded us. In Fossils, students will examine molds, casts and imprints of various living things, and discover how scientists place the age of these ancient remains and the methods they use to preserve them for future generations. Find out how paleontologists discover fossils and what these discoveries tell us about the past. Take a trip to the Petrified Forest, and examine tree trunks that were turned to stone millions of years ago. A fun, hands-on investigation demonstrates for students how they can create four different simulated environments in order to test each for its ability to preserve remains. Part of the Earth Science in Action DVD Series. A Teacher's Guide is included and available online. 23 minutes. Grades 5 to 8.

From the highest mountains to the deepest chasms, Earth's terrain is comprised of varying levels and unique features. In Topography, students will learn how the features of Earth's surface are arranged while exploring the art and science of re-creating these terrains on maps. See how forces like earthquakes, volcanoes, water and wind have changed Earth's surface over countless centuries, and learn why studying these changes is important to learning about our planet's past and future. See how cartographers map the floor of the oceans, while an informative demonstration shows students how they can make a simple topographic map of their own. Part of the Earth Science in Action DVD Series. A Teacher's Guide is included and available online. 23 minutes. Grades 5 to 8.

Water is vital to all life on Earth and covers nearly three-fourths of our planet's surface. Where does it come from? Will we use it up eventually? In The Water Cycle, students learn that Earth has the same water supply today as it did millions of years ago. Examine the amazing process by which water is continually recycled and transported from place to place through evaporation, condensation and precipitation. Also find out how energy from the sun drives the water cycle and how the atmosphere prevents water from slipping away from Earth. A fun, hands-on investigation demonstrates how an artesian well works, while a visit to a desalination plant showcases how salt water is purified. Part of the Earth Science in Action DVD Series. A Teacher's Guide is included and available online. 23 minutes. Grades 5 to 8.

The rocks and soil that make up Earth's surface are constantly being affected by a variety of forces, ranging from heat and frost to water and wind. In Weathering and Erosion, students will discover the natural forces that cause weathering, erosion and deposition, and see the many effects that these processes have on Earth's surface. Students will examine natural structures around the world and see how weathering and erosion have affected them, while discovering ways in which people have become better prepared to battle these forces through conservation. In addition, a fun, hands-on experiment demonstrates how running water erodes different types of soil. Part of the Earth Science in Action DVD Series. A Teacher's Guide is included and available online. 23 minutes. Grades 5 to 8.

In Chromatography, viewers learn a valuable technique for the rapid separation of chemical mixtures. After the scientific principles of paper chromatography are conveyed through real-life demonstrations and clear graphics, students move into the lab to analyze a number of ink samples, calculating Rf values for the pigments found in each sample. Students investigate the experimental techniques used to determine if two samples are identical by creating a unique visual "fingerprint" of each tested substance. They also explore the factors affecting each separation and extend the investigation by choosing different solvents for the mobile phase. See how gas chromatography is used in arson investigations and how thin-layer chromatography can be utilized to confirm a document's authenticity. Part of the multivolume Science Lab Investigations! DVD Series. Includes a Teacher's Guide.

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.

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.
