Chao Phraya Catfish
In this video you learn about a choa phraya catfish, also known as the dog-eating catfish. These fish can grow up to 9 feet long. This species is now extremely rare in the wild and in urgent need of study to asses its conservation status. Run time 01:49.
Electron in Motion

Scientists have filmed an electron in motion for the first time, using a new technique that will allow researchers to study the tiny particle's movements directly.
Previously it was impossible to photograph electrons because of their extreme speediness, so scientists had to rely on more indirect methods. These methods could only measure the effect of an electron's movem
Weather on Jupiter, 3 of 7
In an effort to understand Jupiter's turbulent weather, scientists study Earth's atmosphere in this video which is for elementary school children and older.
Tom Burns "Essential Study Skills"
See the obstacles that keep us from learning, and how to overcome them. Use strategies to develop good study habits - including developing confidence. Run time 04:06.
Salinity Density Demonstration
Salinity affects the density of water. In this video, 9th grade teacher Rod Benson performs a demonstration on the study of ocean currents for his students using golf balls. The step by step narrative demonstration uses golf balls with fresh water and salty water.Explanations are included. This would also be a great demonstration while teaching density.

"The Raven" (read by James Earl Jones)
This favorite classic poem by Edgar Allan Poe, is read by actor James Earl Jones in his deep, richly elegant, throaty voice. Poe's darkly beguiling words are perfectly articulated. Jones' voice builds Poe's mysterious lament to a crescendo; unfortunately the last word of this recording is clipped off a moment too soon. The screen shows a single, still graphic, a black raven composed of the letters in the word, NEVERMORE, shaped in the form of the bird. A vocabulary study of the words
"Witch-Wife" Poem by Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892-1950)
Edna St. Vincent Millay's love ballad is here portrayed through a fascinating collection of still visual art images, with the words of the poem in text on the screen, without narration. Some of the beguiling, sensual images in this video make it suitable for a mature young adult audience.  Medieval instrumentation is charmingly suited to this pieces, which runs twice the length of the poem due to the amount of artwork.  Useful in visual art study as well as poetry study. (3:41)
Our World: Snowflakes
Snowflakes are actually a history of what was happening in the atmosphere as the snowflake formed and fell to the ground. Find out how you can help NASA scientists study different types of snowflakes to learn about the atmosphere and changes in climate. (04:15)
Are the magentic poles reversing?
Study of the question Are the magnetic poles reversing?" Ian McCrea, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. Using magnetic models, scientist study the million plus year cycle of the pole reversal. RUn time 03:31.
Why study the magnetosphere at the poles?
David Murr of Dartmouth College explains why study the magnetosphere at the Poles: the closer to the pole, the closer you are to the outer boundaries of the Earth. In doing this, he also sees the connection between the people and the land. Run time 02:47.
Why Study the Magnetosphere at the Poles? - Continued
The discussion Why study the magnetosphere at the poles? is continued by Shin-ichiro Oyama – STEL, Nagoya who notes that there are more dramatic changes at the poles, e.g., the aurora. He is intrigued by the many things still to be explored and the beauty of the Northern climate. Run time 01:23.

Topics covered include: representation of the lexicon; physiology of speech production; articulatory phonetics; acoustical theory of speech production; acoustical and articulatory descriptions of phonetic features and of prosodic aspects of speech; perception of speech; models of lexical access and of speech production and planning; and applications to recognition and generation of speech b
Kepler - A Search for Habitable Planets
Kepler is a critical component in NASA's broader efforts to ultimately find and study planets where Earth-like conditions may be present. Kepler looks for the Habitable Zone... which is where scientists believe that water may be. Professional video. Run time 07:27.
12.802 Wave Motions in the Ocean and Atmosphere (MIT)
This course is an introduction to basic ideas of geophysical wave motion in rotating, stratified, and rotating-stratified fluids. Subject begins with general wave concepts of phase and group velocity. It also covers the dynamics and kinematics of gravity waves with a focus on dispersion, energy flux, initial value problems, etc. Also addressed are subject foundation used to study internal and inertial waves, Kelvin, Poincare, and Rossby waves in homogeneous and stratified fluids.
