This 20 minute documentary details the life cycle of the butterfly. In addition, the video highlights selected survival strategies and their likely purpose. Close up and time-lapse photography provide viewers with the chance to see many aspects of butterfly biology that would otherwise be impossible to see. Life Cycle of the Butterfly examines; egg laying and hatching, caterpillar development through various instars, pupation, emergence, and adult behaviour such as courtship and mating.

Baby Making – The New A.R.T. of Life
Explore new technologies in reproduction and the social implications of these technologies. Through personal stories told by young infertile couples, lesbian parents and mothers who use donor sperm or donor eggs, students will realize the ethical dilemmas facing parents. Throughout the video bioethicists highlight the issues, as well as future scenarios.
-
Bonding Between Atoms
Bonding Between Atoms covers the following topics; electrons in clouds around atoms, the electrons of halogens outer shell, the electrons of alkali metal outer shell, carbon the diamond and graphite share electrons, chlorine combining with the 3rd row, a range of bonds, metallic bond, ionic bond, and ionic solutions.
-
Electron Arrangement
The arrangement of electrons in atoms determines the atom’s behaviour or chemistry. Topics covered ionizatons of atoms by electron bombardment, light emission from hot electrons in atoms, the hydrogen spectrum, electron diffraction, quantum mechanical model, Schrodinger wave equation, orbital models and molecular geometry.

Australian States and Territories
A journey around Australia as each state and territory is examined in turn. The colonial history of Australia, and how this led to the formation of the states with the advent of federation is investigated. The history, physical geography, climate and weather patterns of each state are examined, as well as land use and population density. We also look at the major industries in each region, and the importance of the mining and agricultural industries to the nation as a whole.

Advanced Technical Drawing
Advanced Technical Drawing explores the following topics; basic drawing systems, reference envelopes, circles in paraline, perspective, preparing technical drawings, traditional perspective (1 and 2 point), measuring point perspective (2 point inclusion for revision and 1 point), and drawing complex objects.
-
Atmospheric Circulation
Atmospheric Circulation cover the following topics; global heat budget, convection, coriolis effect (conservation of momentum), general circulation of the atmosphere, trade winds, seasons, monsoons, and synoptic charts.

Atoms and Their Electrons
Follow the history of the Atom; meet Dalton, Thomson, Rutherford and Bohr along the way and build up the first 18 atoms by adding protons, neutrons, and electrons. Learn how atoms combine through an animated love story of chlorine and sodium. At the disco, atoms combine in various ways. Carbon forms bucky tubes & balls, we see evolving molecular shapes C02, H20, NH3, CH4. Some atoms dance in pairs e.g.. N2. Chlorine is asked to dance with Ca, Al & C but waits for Na. They dance & transfer an electron. Love at last.
