Homeschool Science Series - Volume 17 $49.00

Issue 1 - STUDYING THE DOLPHIN
Just how intelligent are these gentle marine animals? Can they think like us? In this program we join marine scientists from Florida to Hawaii who are finding new answers about how dolphins live, learn, and communicate. It also explores the dolphin's unique sensitivity and connection with some disabled children. - 15 Minutes

Issue 2 - CORAL REEFS - KEEPERS OF SECRETS
In this issue, take a dive into the underwater world of coral reefs and explore their importance in helping us understand much of the recent history of our oceans. The long life span of coral reefs has made them important places for scientific exploration and today much of that study deals with coral reef survival. Along the way, students will learn that the largest reef in the world is the Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Australia. - 23 Minutes

Issue 3 - WHERE THE SEA MEETS THE SHORE
One of the harshest environments on earth exists at the place where the sea meets the rocky shore. This visually stunning program examines the wide variety of animal and plant life that survive these difficult conditions that are caused by pounding waves during the ebb and flow of tides. Students will come to appreciate how these plants and animals have adapted to develop unique survival mechanisms that help them find food and escape predators. - 15 Minutes

Issue 4 - SPECTACULAR SHARKS
Sharks are the largest predatory fish in the ocean, distinguished from other fish by skeletons that are made out of cartilage rather than bone. This issue offers a perspective on the history of sharks and their unique physiological characteristics, including a variety of head shapes as well as sensory organs that detect electric fields. These, and other distinctions have helped sharks survive since the age of the dinosaurs. - 15 Minutes

Issue 5 - MISSION TO SAVE THE MANATEE
In this issue, we'll take students on a mission to see what's being done to save the manatee, a marine animal sometimes known as a "sea cow" because of its size and diet, which consists mainly of vegetation. We'll journey to points in Florida where the manatee lives and to the Sea World Aquarium in Orlando. There, you'll see how researchers and scientists are studying and protecting the peaceful manatee to ensure its survival. - 14 Minutes
