Understanding Our Five Senses Video Series
Using colorful illustrations and graphic animation
sequences, this video series explores the phenomena of sight,
hearing, smell, taste, and touch. Designed for use at the middle
or secondary level, the videos examine the scientific processes
by which stimuli from outside or inside the body are received
and processed. Each program details the structure and function
of the sense organs and related parts of the body, supplemented
by information on common sensory disorders and safety tips. Interviews
and real-world analogies add to the viewer's understanding of
the complex workings of the senses. The programs are divided
into segments for easy lesson planning, with helpful recaps at
the end of each segment.

Human Heart - This fascinating journey into
the human heart features state-of-the-art 3D animation, vividly
illustrating the heart's basic structure and function. Succinct
and well organized, the video combines easy-to-follow narrative
with dynamic imagery. Physicians and other health experts discuss
the mechanics of the heart and explain how nutrition, exercise
and smoking affect this vital muscle.
The video is divided into three main segments:
I. The Heart's Parts – reveals the heart's
basic structure, including chambers, valves, coronary circulation,
and the conductive system.
II. The Heart at Work – explains the
circulation process, pulmonary and systemic circulation, and
diastole vs. systole.
III. Heart Smarts – investigates heart
health, including advice on maintaining a strong heart and circulatory
system.
Designed specifically for classroom use, this
teacher-friendly learning tool minimizes technical jargon and
clearly explains each learning point. Key information is restated
throughout the video, and comprehensive reviews follow each section.
Paced for easy note-taking and clear understanding, the program
is also loaded with exciting graphics and animations which make
it fun to watch. 25 minutes. © 2002. |

Amazing Adventures Inside The Human Body Series
Featuring highly detailed and colorful graphic
animation, this video series takes the viewer on a virtual tour
of the systems of the human body. Each program introduces one
of the body's major systems, describes structure and function
of the organs and other components of the system, illustrates
key processes carried out by the system, and reveals the “amazing
adventures” inside the body that support seemingly routine
activities such as moving, breathing, eating and feeling.
Interviews with experts (biologist, cardiologist,
family practitioner, internist, and gastroenterologist) provide
insight into the remarkable processes and functions of these
intricate systems. Each program includes discussion of common
disorders and diseases, along with advice on keeping the body's
systems running smoothly. Grades 7-12. |

(brain and spinal cord), and the network of nerves and other
structures which make up the peripheral nervous system. Also
discussed: the parts of the brain, the components of a neuron
(dendrite, nucleus, and axon), as well as how signal impulses
and synapses work. The program also touches on some possible
problems with the system, including meningitis, Parkinson's disease,
strokes and injuries. 26 minutes. © 2001. |

The Circulatory System: Go with the Flow! |
The circulatory system works like a network of
highways, superhighways, and narrow streets. But in this case,
the highways are a means of delivering nutrients to major organs
and carrying away wastes and toxins. Using this analogy, the
video explains and illustrates the systemic and pulmonary routes,
the structure and function of the heart, the network of arteries
and veins, as well as the different roles and components of blood.
Other topics include blood pressure, anemia, leukemia, heart
failure and heart attack, the effects of cocaine and smoking
on the heart, and the vital role of exercise in maintaining a
