Introduces the parts of a plant, including the roots, stems, leaves, and complex tissues called xylem and phloem; describes how a plant takes in water and minerals and how it manufactures sugar; and includes a hands-on experiment on the flow of nutrients throughout a plant's structures.

Secret agent Matt Mattics must rely upon his knowledge of equations with a single variable in order to stop Dr. Strangeglove from turning the world's numbers into tasty beverages with his Number Juicer.

Documents the many forces that impact every aspect of the universe, describing how vibrations, gravity, air resistance, and others influence every person, object, planet, and action.

Secret agent Matt Mattics is challenged to answer questions involving the doubling and halving of double-digit numbers in order to thwart Dr. Strangeglove's attempts to cut the world's mathematical communications cable.

Discusses various aspects of the Earth's atmosphere and explains its importance in sustaining life, describing its different layers, how it provides the air we breathe, how it protects us from ultraviolet rays and meteoroids, and how it affects our weather; shows how special aircraft are able to fly into hurricanes; and includes an activity where students learn about atmospheric pressure by building their own barometer.

Introduces students in grades five through eight to key concepts in physics, focusing on friction, using visuals and experiments to discuss sliding, rolling, and fluid friction, lubricants, friction measurement, wind resistance, static friction, and friction use. Includes review segments.

Introduces the concepts of motion and balance to students in grades five through eight, providing a definition of motion, and discussing balancing forces, relative motion, Newton's three laws of motion, inertia, net force, and other topics. Includes experiments and reviews.

Introduces students in grades five through eight to key concepts in physics, focusing on sound, using visuals and experiments to discuss sound waves, longitudinal waves, amplitude, wavelength and frequency, eardrums, echolocation, the speed of sound, density, and elasticity. Includes review segments.

Contains video clips and animations that examine different ecosystems and habitats; explaining adaptation, reproduction, food chains, and the relationships between living things in a biotic community.

Students will explore the diverse freshwater habitat and learn about biotic and abiotic factors that make up the ecosystem, participate in a hands-on experiment to test the amount of dissolved oxygen in two different bodies of water and visit with a freshwater naturalist who exmines wetlands around the world.
