How long does a baby elephant stay with her mother? What do you call a baby goat? Young children learn some interesting facts about the lives of baby animals in this original video from KET.
In this video from Nature researchers from the University of Washington conduct a long-term experiment to see if crows can pass information down from one generation to the next.
Join students as they observe mosquitoes in different stages of development and learn about the insect's life cycle in this video from Curious George.
By examining the developmental stages of animals, students learn about the life cycles of living things.
This lesson from Nature uses the eagle to model universal avian life stages.
This time-lapse microphotography of developing embryos shows the common ancestry of all vertebrates. Footage from NOVA: "Odyssey of Life." ***Access to Teacher's Domain content now requires free login to PBS Learning Media.
Students explore the stages of development children experience from birth the age five including brain growth, language development and what shapes their views on right and wrong.
In this media-rich lesson, students observe plant growth by watching a time-lapse video and by growing their own seeds. They identify the conditions seeds need to germinate and consider the role that fruits play in seed dispersal.
Witness eaglets begin to fly in this video segment from Nature.
Watching plants grow is like watching paint dry: It happens so slowly that the changes are imperceptible from one moment to the next -- and yet the end results are dramatic. This video segment shows just how amazing plant development can be by depicting various phases of the process using time-lapse photography. Footage from NOVA: "The Shape of Things."
This collection of six images captures the magnificence of human development -- the transformation from baby to woman.
On his journey to discover the human spark, Alan Alda speaks with Dr. Elizabeth Spelke from Harvard University and Professor Neville from the University of Oregon about the development of language in this video from The Human Spark.
Through scientific research, this video from The Human Spark illustrates how a child’s views of what is right and wrong can be shaped by others.
Students explore similarities and differences in the life cycle of organisms and are introduced to the process of metamorphosis.
All animals develop and grow over time. The animals in this document undergo one of the most dramatic developmental processes known: metamorphosis. See if you can place the developmental stages in their proper order. ***Access to Teacher's Domain content now requires free login to PBS Learning Media.
Children go through countless physical changes during the first year of their life. Look At Me Now, an original KET interactive, depicts a year in the life of a baby through photos, and highlights the changes we experience while growing.
All animals develop and grow over time. The animals in this video segment, however, undergo very dramatic changes on their way to adulthood -- a developmental process known as metamorphosis.
Students explore the cycles of plant life and compare them with those of animals.
In this video from DragonflyTV, Katie and Susie investigate whether malformations in frogs in a nearby pond are being caused by ultraviolet light from the Sun, chemical pollutants, or parasites.
This video segment adapted from NOVA reveals how junk DNA helped solve an evolutionary mystery: Why do certain species of fruit flies have wing spots while others don't?
