RESOURCE	GRADE LEVEL	MEDIA TYPE
Carnivorous Plants of Cartwheel Bay In this video segment from NatureScene, explore Cartwheel Bay, a wetland in South Carolina, and learn about the variety of carnivorous plants native to this unique landform. Accessibility features: Caption	3-8	Video
Caves: Extreme Conditions for Life This video segment adapted from NOVA raises the provocative idea that if life can exist in the most extreme environments on Earth — such as in dark, toxic caves — then perhaps living things can also survive in harsh environments on other planets. Accessibility features: Audio Description, Caption	6-12	Video
Climate and Human Evolution In this video segment adapted from NOVA: "Becoming Human," learn how the analysis of rock layers and ocean sediments supports the theory that rapid climate change may have jump-started human evolution two million years ago. Accessibility features: Caption	6-12	Video
Comets Bombard the Early Earth Visualize how comets carrying chemicals necessary for life could have made their way to Earth billions of years ago in this video segment adapted from NOVA. Accessibility features: Caption	6-12	Video
Comets Deliver Amino Acids to Earth Amino acids, essential ingredients for life, may have been delivered to Earth by comets billions of years ago, as visualized in this video segment adapted from NOVA. Accessibility features: Caption	6-12	Video
The Common Genetic Code Paul Nurse describes his research that showed that humans share some genes with organisms as different from us as simple brewer's yeast. Footage from Secret of Life: "Immortal Thread." Accessibility features: Caption	9-12	Video
Decision-Maker Bees and the Human Brain Learn about the similarity between the pattern of communication within a bee colony and neural networks in the human brain, in this video adapted from NOVA scienceNOW. Accessibility features: Caption	6-12	Video
Dinosaurs This video segment from IdahoPTV's D4K shows us what paleontologists think dinosaurs looked like, what they ate, and why they might have disappeared. We see paleontologists at work studying dinosaurs fossils. Accessibility features: Caption, Transcript	4-6	Video
Dragonflies in Kentucky This KET video segment from Kentucky Life explains the differences between dragonflies and damselflies and explores their habitats. Accessibility features: Caption	K-12	Video
Engineering Biofuels In this video segment adapted from KQED's QUEST, find out how synthetic biologists use the techniques of metabolic engineering and directed evolution to make more effective biofuels. Accessibility features: Caption	9-12	Video
Evolutionary Roots of Language This video excerpt from NOVA scienceNOW looks at how language and tool-making may have coevolved. Accessibility features: Caption, Transcript	6-12	Video
Floral Arrangements Explore a few of the ways plants pollinate each other in this video segment from Sexual Encounters of a Floral Kind. Accessibility features: Audio Description, Caption, Transcript	6-12	Video
Fossils This video segment from IdahoPTV's D4K explains how fossils are formed, discusses the Hagerman Horse fossil found in Idaho. It describes the tools Paleontologists use and why they study fossils. Accessibility features: Caption, Transcript	4-6	Video
