This program shows students that linear equations help explain changes in the real world. These equations can predict the future! That’s right… they can tell us what’s happened, what’s happening, and what might happen. So get out your crystal ball, and get ready to understand the powers of linear equations. Topics covered: Slope Horizontal and Vertical Lines Parallel and Perpendicular Lines,3 Forms of Linear Equations, Connecting with Graphs and Systems of Equations. Includes a DVD plus a CD-ROM with teacher’s guide, quizzes, graphic organizers and classroom activities.

Smart Food, Healthy Body
This program takes us outside to an athletics track and inside to a battle of minds over a chessboard – exploring how nutrition plays a critical role in maintaining both a healthy body and mind. Our presenter, aided by young competitors, guides us through the role that nutrients play in our diets and the positive outcomes that can be achieved by making healthy and balanced food choices. We finish by taking a look at the journey food takes through our body showing how nutrients are taken in and waste products removed.

The Physics of Light
What is light? How does it operate? What are its properties? Why is it so important to the foundations of our physical world? The Physics of Light examines the nature of light and how it’s harnessed in our lives. The basic properties of light and the wave model are explained, while various applications are demonstrated using these facts. We discuss the concepts of wavelength, frequency, speed, reflection, refraction, total internal reflection and dispersion. We investigate the EMR spectrum, the colour of objects, and the addition and subtraction of colours are explained.

Consumer Choice and Protection
We as consumers make choices everyday that satisfy our needs and wants which in turn affect our quality of life. We need to understand what has an impact on these decisions and how to make more informed choices to avoid scams and scammers. We need to understand the legal framework that provides consumer protection and how technology influences our economic decision-making.

Diet Related Disorders – Type 2 Diabetes, Obesity and Coeliac Disease
Around one in two people in the USA, Australia, and the UK are overweight. Knowledge of nutrition is integral to making healthy food choices. In this program we examine three diet-related disorders, looking in detail at the characteristics, causes, treatment and strategies for prevention. Common western health problems such as obesity, Type 2 diabetes and coeliac disease are discussed and their relationship with our diet explained. Follow us as we explore recent developments in food aimed at enhancing health, the impact of food consumption on nutrition, and ways of meeting food requirements to maintain optimum health and wellbeing.

Geographers in the Field
Fieldwork is a critical part of geography, and involves a range of techniques. In this program, two young commandos are on a fieldwork mission to research and report on the human impact in two geographical regions – one urban and one within a National Park. Along the way they learn about preparation, collecting primary and secondary data, equipment, note taking, photographic recording, surveying and interviewing, and presenting findings. They also talk to park rangers who work in both areas and ultimately come to understand the importance of accurate, well prepared fieldwork.
