Moth Emerging From Cocoon--Expanding Wing Time Lapse
A male Saturnia albofasciata moth emerges from its cocoon in time lapse. The cocoon has been partially cut away to observe development and movement and doesn't seem to bother the moth. After he emerges he expands his wings by pumping a body fluid into them. This is a great resource to help build background knowledge and to help make real world connections between nature and the classroom. (1:11)
Silk Moth Mating and Hand Pairing
This short documentary, shot in Santa Clarita and Juniper Hills, CA during, 2007, shows how the rare and difficult to rear White-Streaked Silkmoths (Saturnia albofasciata) can be mated in captivity, both hand-paired and un-assisted. This is a great resource to help build background knowledge and to help make real world connections between nature and the classroom. (3:10)
Saturnia Albofasciata Silk Moth Egg Laying
A short video showing the White-Streaked Silkmoth (Saturnia albofasciata) laying eggs. Students will love the real life footage of this amazing process. This is a great resource to help build background knowledge and to help make real world connections between nature and the classroom. (1:56)
Electra Buckmoth Emerging, Scenting, Mating, Ovipositing
Many time lapse and realtime video sequences show rarely documented behaviors of the Electra Buckmoth (silk moth) [Hemileuca electra]. Time lapse footage includes wing expanding, scenting, mating, and egg-laying. Students will enjoy this real life footage of these amazing insects. This is a great resource to help build background knowledge and to help make real world connections between nature and the classroom. (2:49)
Blue Butterflies Emerge in Time Lapse
5 Sonoran Blue butterflies (Philotes sonorensis) emerge from their chrysalis and expand their wings in 30x time lapse. Students will enjoy the real life footage of these beautiful insects. This is a great resource to help make real world connections between nature and the classroom. (1:36)
Gabbs Checkerspot Butterfly Emerging from Chrysalis
This video features realtime and time lapse footage of a Gabbs Checkerspot Butterfly (Chlosyne gabbii) emerging from its chrysalis and then expanding its wings. This is a great resource to help make real world connections between nature and the classroom. (0:50)
Caterpillar Transforms Into Chrysalis Time Lapse
A Pipevine Swallowtail (Battus philenor hirsuta) caterpillar performs its final molt as it pupates into a chrysalis in time lapse. Actual time was about 90 minutes. This is a great resource to help build background knowledge and to make real world connections between nature and the classroom. (1:00)
Emerging Butterflies Montage--Time Lapse
This collection features 25+ time lapse sequences of Butterflies (and Moths) emerging and expanding their wings. Students will enjoy the real life footage of these amazing insects. What a great way to help build background knowledge and to help make real world connections between nature and the classroom. (2:49)
Arco de Santa MarÃa (Burgos) - en español
El Arco de Santa María, cuyo aspecto actual es del siglo XVI, es una de las antiguas puertas de entrada a la ciudad de Burgos y, sin duda, la más señorial. Por su lado exterior, la puerta de Santa María simula un castillo, con torres, almenas y dos robustos cubos que encuadran el arco. (1:27)
Real Monasterio de San Zoilo (Carrión de los Condes) - en español
En las afueras de Carrión de los Condes se alza el majestuoso monasterio benedictino dedicado a San Zoilo. Su etapa de mayor prosperidad corresponde a los siglos XI y XII, si bien tendrá un importante renacer durante el siglo XVI. Será en esta centuria cuando se construya el actual edificio. (1:25)
Novedades de la arquitectura gótica - en español
El objetivo del arquitecto gótico es elevar al máximo las construcciones y eliminar casi por completo el muro. Para ello incorporarán una importante serie de novedades respecto al Románico. (2:00)

Computer Accuracy
Accuracy of measurement in navigation depends very much on the situation. If a sailor’s target is an island 200 km wide, sailing off center by 10 or 20 km is not a major problem. But, if the island were only 1 km wide, it would be missed if off just the smallest bit. Many of the measurements made while navigating involve angles, and a small error in the angle can translate to a much larger error in position when traveling long distances.
Up, Up and Away! - Airplanes
The airplanes unit begins with a lesson on how airplanes create lift, which involves a discussion of air pressure and how wings use Bernoulli's Principle to change air pressure. Following the lessons on lift, students explore the other three forces acting on airplanes — thrust, weight and drag. Following these lessons, students learn how airplanes are controlled and use paper airplanes to demonstrate these principles. The final lessons addresses societal and technological impacts airplanes hav
Mission to Mars
The Mission to Mars curricular unit introduces students to Mars — the Red Planet. Students discover why scientists are so interested in studying this mysterious planet. Many interesting facts about Mars are revealed, and the history of Martian exploration is reviewed. Students will learn about the development of robotics and how robots are beneficial to science, society and the exploration of space. Details on engineers' involvement in space exploration are presented. Furthermore, students wil
Engineering for the Earth
Young students are introduced to the complex systems of the Earth through numerous lessons on the Earth’s natural resources, processes, weather, climate and landforms. Key earth science topics include rocks, soils and minerals, water and natural resources, weather patterns and climatic regions, wind, erosion, landforms, and the harvesting of fossil fuels — all presented from an engineering point-of-view. (See the Unit Overview section for a list of topics by lesson.) Through many hands-on ac
