"Recommended. A significant range of studies is
demonstrated, using different techniques in one integrated scientific study.
There is heavy emphasis on high-tech techniques; also simple techniques and
direct personal observation are accorded their role as well." -Science
Books & Films Scientists are conducting the most comprehensive study ever attempted of a little known group of volcanic islands in the South Atlantic. Theses remote islands, just southeast of the Falkland Islands, have been rarely visited since Captain Cook discovered them in 1775. Their unique significance is the story that they can tell about the composition, structure and movement of the earth's crust. 07DR IJSCA 30 min. |

"Highly Recommended. This program describes our current
knowledge of ocean science, and profiles the scientific process as it
applies to oceanography; it delivers an accurate picture of modern
oceanography and illustrates how each of these scientific disciplines adds
to our knowledge of ocean life and ocean circulation; it includes excellent
footage and viewers will enjoy the spectacular shots of hydrothermal vent
and bioluminescent deep-sea fauna." -EMRO Review "Recommended. An excellent video to give students a first-hand look at scientists at work, equipment they use, and work place environments." -School Library Journal The world's oceans affect all our lives. They control our weather, provide much of our food, and supply important minerals and sources of energy. This program explores the many scientific disciplines involved in discovering the way the oceans work and govern our lives. The program features rare archive film of past attempts to discover the secrets the oceans hold, together with exciting new research into the ocean bed, the creatures that dwell there and the way their lives can provide solutions to problems affecting our own environment. 08DR IJSCA 30 min. |
