In this session, flowering plants serve as examples for studying the plant life cycle by considering the roles of seeds, flowers, and fruits. A comparison to animal life cycles reveals some surprising similarities and intriguing differences.,This segment shows a discussion of the role of flowers as adaptations. Topics include variety, pollen dispersal, seed dispersal, and flowers as "advertisements
Science in Focus: Energy: Workshop 7. Heat, Work, and Efficiency
A machine's energy output cannot be greater than its input. In this session, look at the energy that goes into useful work, examine how some always ends up as heat, and see why systems are never 100% efficient.,This segment explores the question "How can we get work from heat?" by visiting classrooms as well as interviewing students and scientists.
Science in Focus: Energy: Workshop 6. Energy and Systems
Physicists use the concept of a system to trace and quantify the flow of energy. In this session, take a close look at a number of energy systems and see how this concept is closely linked to the Law of Conservation of Energy.,This segment explores the question "What are some practical applications of energy systems?" by visiting classrooms as well as interviewing students and scientists.
