Seeds of Change: A Case Study of Sustainable Development in China Filmed largely in China’s Yunnan Province, this award-winning program follows Dr. Sam Chao’s efforts to clean up the Yangtze River and its tribu- taries, ravaged by erosion due to deforestation. As the program shows, sustainable ecological improve- ment must be linked to economic improvement for farmers whose very lives hang in the balance of switching from growing crops on riverbanks to forest-based agriculture.

Energy Talking about energy is tricky because everyday words can also have specialized scientific meanings. Through the process of defining key terms like “power,” “work,” and even “energy” itself, this program uses a roller coaster, ice-skaters, a human cannonball, night- vision goggles, and a supernova to introduce students to energy in its many forms. $99.95 QGR39770 • DVD / VOD
Forces and Motion Using NYC as a living laboratory, this program addresses speed and distance using a pigeon, a taxi, and a tour boat. Additional situations, such as the deployment of a Mars rover and a stroll on a conveyor belt, provide opportunities to study the mechanics of velocity and acceleration as well as contact forces and forces that act at a distance. $99.95 QGR39771 • DVD / VOD
Understanding Scientific Measurement Emphasizing mathematical relationships, this program shows how to predict and measure physical phenomena—in this case, the motion of a steel spring.

Planets, Stars, and Galaxies Beginning with the history of astronomy, this program considers gravity, relativity, the mathematics of motion, the properties of stars, and the large- scale structure of the universe. Humankind has come a long way in our understanding of the cosmos, and discoveries of incalculable value are still waiting to be made. $99.95 QGR39772 • DVD / VOD
Processes that Shape the Earth How was planet Earth formed, and what are the forces that continue to sculpt it? This program uses animated topographical maps, a floor-sanding machine, a greenhouse, and more to help students visualize the structure and composition of the Earth and the processes that shape our world. Dangerous impacts of humankind are also considered. $99.95 QGR39773 • DVD / VOD
The Nature of Matter This program takes a simulated subatomic look at a glass of water to better understand the nature of matter. The behavior of matter under the effects of gravity, electromagnetism, and the strong and weak nuclear forces; the organization of matter via the periodic table; the process of radioactive decay; and other topics are scrutinized as well. $99.95 QGR39774 • DVD / VOD
