Why does a magnet stick to the refrigerator but not to the wooden cabinets? This question will be answered as viewers discover what makes something "magnetic." Students learn about positive and negative forces, the North and South poles, and the basic concepts of why opposites attract. Children find out more about what magnets are used for and in which simple machines they are found. With a hands-on experiment and real-world examples, these concepts are more easily understood.
A polar desert, tundras are home to a small array of animal life. Found in the northern parts of the world, the tundra's ground is always frozen and is unique in that the winters are always dark and the summers, although short, are always light. How can life survive in this cold, and why does its winter last so long? Learn the answers to these questions and others in illustrations and hands-on experiments.
Our blood pressure and breathing patterns are the very basis of our existence. Learn about the heart and explore its anatomy. Also find out about the blood, and its four main components: red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and plasma. Enter the respiratory system by exploring the nose, larynx and lungs. Find out about inhaling and exhaling, and how the two systems work together. The concepts are clearly illustrated with hands-on experiments.
