RESOURCE	GRADE LEVEL	MEDIA TYPE
Acid Mine Drainage and Precipitates In this video, environmental scientists measure the pH of water to detect acid mine drainage from an abandoned coal mine and then demonstrate how metals present in acid drainage fall out of solution as precipitates when a basic substance is added to the water. Accessibility features: Caption	6-12	Video
Controlling Water Run-off This video shows how the environmentally friendly design of the Visitor Center at Bernheim Arboretum and Research Forest near Louisville slows down water run-off and helps to control non-point-source water pollution, conserve water, and prevent soil erosion Accessibility features: Caption	4-12	Video
Environmental Impact of Acid Mine Drainage This video shows how acid mine drainage from an abandoned coal mine has affected Wildcat Branch in Kentucky's Daniel Boone National Forest. Because the creek has a very acidic pH of 2.9, most organisms cannot survive there, and Wildcat Branch is essentially dead. Accessibility features: Caption	6-12	Video
Reusing Wastewater This video demonstrates how peat filtration beds at Bernheim Arboretum and Research Forest near Louisville, Kentucky purify and conserve wastewater and eliminate one cause of non-point-source water pollution. Accessibility features: Caption	4-12	Video
The Geology of Coal In this video, a geologist describes how coal, a sedimentary rock, was formed when organic materials piled up in swamps millions of years ago. Over time, heat and pressure transformed the buried materials into forms of coal that cause acid mine drainage when exposed to oxygen. Accessibility features: Caption	6-12	Video
Arts in the Renaissance: Bransle Kentucky students perform the Maltese Bransle (pronounced brahwl), a country dance that was popular in the royal courts of France and England during the Renaissance. The segment was recorded by KET in partnership with the Kentucky Arts Council and Kentucky Shakespeare. Kentucky Shakespeare also provided the costumes worn by the dancers. Accessibility features: Caption	9-12	Video
High-Sulfur Coal and Acidic Water In this video, a geologist measures the pH of water after high-sulfur coal from a Kentucky coal mine has been added to it. This test demonstrates that the sulfate salts found on the coal’s surface cause the water to become much more acidic. Accessibility features: Caption	6-12	Video
Rain Gardens This video shows how a rain garden at Bernheim Arboretum and Research Forest near Louisville, Kentucky slows down the flow of water from the forest’s parking lot and helps prevent soil erosion. Accessibility features: Caption	4-12	Video
Mycoremediation This video explores the process of mycoremediation: planting fungi such as oyster mushrooms to mitigate non-point-source water pollution caused by oil, gasoline, and other toxic substances. Accessibility features: Caption	4-12	Video
Restoring Lower Rock Creek This brief video describes how Lower Rock Creek’s location between two National Wild and Scenic Rivers caused Kentucky environmentalists to choose the creek as a target for acid mine drainage remediation. Accessibility features: Caption	6-12	Video
Acid Mine Drainage Remediation In this video, an environmental technologist visits an abandoned coal mine in Kentucky to talk about how a remediation system (a series of settling ponds and treatment cells) is neutralizing the acid drainage flowing from the mine and keeping it from damaging a creek downstream. Accessibility features: Caption	6-12	Video
Applying the Scientific Method This video provides a real-life example of the scientific method: testing hypotheses about which plants will grow most successfully on a green roof in Kentucky. Accessibility features: Caption	4-12	Video
Arts in the Renaissance: Pavane Kentucky students dance the Pavane, a processional dance from the Renaissance. The segment was recorded by KET in partnership with the Kentucky Arts Council and Kentucky Shakespeare. Kentucky Shakespeare also provided the costumes. Accessibility features: Caption	9-12	Video
Arts in the Renaissance: Scene from Hamlet Actor Kevin Hardesty performs the famous “To be, or not to be” soliloquy from Act III, Scene I of the Shakespearean tragedy Hamlet. Hardesty opens the segment with an introduction to the scene. Accessibility features: Caption	9-12	Video
Results of Acid Mine Drainage Remediation In this video, a biologist visits Rock Creek in Pulaski County, Kentucky to show how acid mine drainage remediation has increased the stream’s pH from acidic levels to almost neutral. Although the ecosystem has not been completely restored, many species have returned to Rock Creek. Accessibility features: Caption	6-12	Video
Stream Restoration This video explores how Bernheim Arboretum and Research Forest near Louisville, Kentucky has restored a channelized or straightened stream to its original meandering path, thereby improving the stream’s water quality and creating a better habitat for wildlife. Accessibility features: Caption	4-12	Video
Aquatic Insects In this brief video, a biologist talks about the macroinvertebrates (typically aquatic insects) that form the basis of food webs in healthy Kentucky streams. Accessibility features: Caption	6-12	Video
Detached Wetlands This video depicts a detached wetland, a small pool that forms beside a shallow meandering stream when it overflows its banks. These wetlands are important breeding grounds for the invertebrates that live in and beside streams Accessibility features: Caption	4-12	Video
1964 Alaska Earthquake This video adapted from the Valdez Museum & Historical Archive, explores what happened during the Great Alaska Earthquake of 1964 through original footage, first-person accounts, and animations illustrating plate tectonics. Accessibility features: Caption	6-12	Video
Backyard Birdfeeders This video from WPSU’s series Outside suggests how to feed birds in winter, a hobby that can foster awareness, care, and respect for birds. Accessibility features: Caption	3-6	Video
