How things work: The award-winning Tell Me Why series, based on the books by Arkady Leokum, gives informative and easy to understand answers to the many types of questions that children ask about everyday subjects, in an informative, easy to understand manner, aided by incredible visuals. This program answers questions such as "What is an electric eye?" "How does a television work?" "What makes a car go?" and "How does a washing machine work?"Communication between people and communities: Engaging kids introduce your students to developmentally appropriate and accurate terminology for Communications Technology. With real life examples from their communities students discover how diversity concepts like language and disability are supported by technology. Advances in the technology of information, music and the delivery of visual arts are shown. Difficult concepts like the Internet and global communication by satellite are made clear with creative animations. Students also see the positive impacts of classroom collaboration over distance with the aid of technologyMeterology. Predicting dangerous weather: Violent weather touches thousands of lives, homes and businesses around the world each year. Billions of dollars are spent on cleanup and reconstruction. Climatologists and meteorologists at the Meteorological Alpine Project (MAP) are using specialized computer technology to discover how hot winds in the African desert develop into a damaging hail storm in the Swiss AlpsTechnology for space exploration., Includes Cosmic costumer, Exploration of Mars, Exploration of the Moon, Exploration of the solar systemTechnology: engineering-dummy & robot heroes: The Wonders of Technology, Genetic Engineering, Biotechnology Science series covers subjects from Robots, Transportation, Agricultural Science, Science in the Third World, Making Plants Grow Plastic & New Miracles from Science. Students will develop a basic understanding of the fundamentals of Technology and work their way up to more complex subjects. As human stand-ins, dummies and their mobile counterparts, robots have been sparing us risk to life and limb and saving our lives for decades. Perhaps the best known examples of these are crash test dummies, which have allowed automotive engineers to analyze what happens to the human body in collisions. The information obtained in these tests has helped them design safety advances like seat belts, child car seats, air bags and cars that absorb the greater energy of a crash impact. This program shows the growing sophistication of dummies and robots as well as their use in many fields of product and safety testing, disaster and rescue training, manufacturing and hazardous materials handling. Includes suggestions for careers in this field of studyTechnology. Robots, our future servants: The Wonders of Technology, Genetic Engineering, Biotechnology Science series covers subjects from Robots, Transportation, Agricultural Science, Science in the Third World, Making Plants Grow Plastic & New Miracles from Science. Students will develop a basic understanding of the fundamentals of Technology and work their way up to more complex subjects. Robots used to be simply science fiction, but today researchers have made inroads into this technology. Discover the developments in robotics and automation technology and explore the limitations of our current knowledge along with breakthroughs in this field of study. Robots are already part of our world. In the future, they may have an even greater impact on our lives. Includes suggestions for careers in this field of studyRobotics. Challenges for the future: New innovations in robotics are presented while highlighting two very unique and effective robotics challenges. For elementary school students, the KISS Institute for Practical Robotics uses hands-on robotics programs to communicate the excitement, knowledge and practical understanding of science. The DARPA Robotics Challenge is a competition of robot systems and software teams representing some of the most advanced robotics research and development organizations in the world. The robots must complete a series of challenging tasks selected for their relevance to disaster response. The importance of robotics to human safety and exploration is discussed
