Your Land and Mine - Land has both public and private uses. However, since all land is inter-related, land use decisions affect all citizens. This program studies how land use decisions are made. Wisconsin's diverse regions provide the state with a variety of landscapes and environments. There are many different and often conflicting uses for land, and people must discuss, debate, and decide the best possible use for this limited resource. (Series: Exploring Wisconsin Our Home) The 'Exploring Wisconsin Our Home' web site offers additional activities and resources for teachers and students, including links to sites for research about Wisconsin.

Video accompanied by text. "One area of particular concern among bankers, businessmen, and government leaders was banking on the frontier. Frontier land was cheap, and speculators would buy large tracts expecting the price to go up as settlers entered the region. In order to finance their investments, speculators borrowed as much as they could from “wildcat” banks that sprang up to cater to this demand. These banks were themselves often speculative in nature, being more interested in making a fast dollar than building a secure banking business..."

Although they occupy less than one quarter of one percent of Earth's marine environments, coral reefs are home to more than 25 percent of all known marine fish species. These habitats have been called the "rainforests of the sea," both because they support an abundance of species, and because they are predominantly located in impoverished regions of the globe with high human population growth rates. Reefs are also particularly vulnerable to exploitation, as are most rainforests. In this video segment from ZOOM, a Florida girl explores the warm shallow waters off the coral island on which she lives. Closed captioning included. Run time 02:20.

In 1995, an avalanche overran an unsuspecting fishing village in Iceland, killing 20 of its residents. Although avalanches are a common occurrence in the region, this was the first avalanche in this village's history to travel as far as the city center. In this video segment adapted from NOVA, learn more about the Iceland avalanche and how engineers plan to protect the village from future avalanches. Closed captioning included. (04:18)

What's so special about Delaware? Narrator sings a song about the state of Delaware. The song consists of the facts and interesting things to do in the state. It gives some of the history, the first state, and how big the state is. Video is a series of pictures that go with the words of the song. Pictures repeat themselves, song is somewhat annoying, but it gets the information across. Video is minimal quality, would be good for students studying the state of Delaware or regions of the United States.

This video is accompanied by text. "Agriculture in the Mississippi Valley region underwent major changes after the Civil War. Farmers began thinking of farming as a business with a cash crop of wheat, corn, or cotton instead of a self-sufficient way of life. A farm began to be viewed as an outdoor factory and growing crops as production. Farmers made use of credit and considered such factors as transportation and marketing, just like other businesses. Farming also became increasingly mechanized, which drew farmers into a cycle of purchasing ever more expensive farm machinery. As a result, agricultural production increased remarkably, and America became the world’s breadbasket and top meat producer..."

In 1945, Communist leader Ho Chi Minh proclaimed a Democratic Republic of Vietnam and named Hanoi its capital. During World War II, Ho secretly received American assistance against the Japanese, but the financial aid stopped when the war ended because Truman refused to continue offering support to a known Communist. In 1946, the French government recognized Ho's Viet Minh government as a "free state" within the northern portion of the French-controlled region. By the end of the year, however, Ho challenged attempts by the French to begin a new regime in southern Vietnam. The conflict damaged relations between the two governments and started the First Indochina War. (Video is narrated with slides and speeches.)

While the North develops an industrial economy and culture, the South develops a slave culture and economy, and the great rift between the regions becomes unbreachable. Professor Masur looks at the human side of the history of the mid-1800s by sketching a portrait of the lives of slave and master. (26:40)

The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has captured a spectacular image of NGC 3603, located about 20,000 light years away in the Carina spiral arm of the Milky Way Galaxy. A giant nebula hosting one of the most prominent massive young clusters in the Milky Way. This is a splendid location for continued studies of stellar birth in star forming regions. This is a great video and good quality. The video is appropriate for fourth grade through high school. (06:12)

This 3:34 long video is dated and does not have narration, but does tell this history of Israel starting with the British Mandate which hoped to make a land for Jewish people from 1920-1946. When Isreal tried to become a country for escaping Jews from other countries it was attacked by the Arab nations surrounding it. An agreement was
signed in 1949 restricting foreign armies but the countries surrounding Israel did not recognize it and to this day some still do not. Other wars were fought in 1947, 1967, 1973 and smaller battles continue. This video provides an overview of this region as told from the Israeli point of view.

This short video gives excellent real life, close up footage of Horseshoe Crab Larvae shortly after they have hatched. Despite their common name, horseshoe crabs are not crabs but are related to arachnids (spiders, scorpions, ticks and mites), and are the closest living relatives of the now extinct trilobites. Horseshoe crabs have three main parts to the body: the head region, known as the ‘prosoma’, the abdominal region or ‘opisthosoma’ and the spine-like tail or ‘telson’. This is a great resource to help build background knowledge and to help make real world connections between nature and the classroom. (0:26)

Note: English subtitles. Some 900 million miles from the Sun in the outer regions of our Solar System orbiting the planet Saturnlies a mysterious world. Enceladus is enveloped in ice. Because nearly all of the sunlight that manages to hit its surface is reflected back into space, its one of the brightest objects in the solar system. It turns out that this distant outpost may harbor subsurface oceans and pre-conditions for life. (18:41)

Volcanic eruptions can drastically alter the geography of a region. Hot, liquid lava flowing downslope can force people living near volcanoes to flee their homes. Even more dangerous, however, are pyroclastic flows and lahars, in which volcanic rock fragments travel in fast-moving clouds and mudslides. This interactive resource adapted from the National Park Service explains why eruptions are explosive or effusive and details the many hazards associated with each type.

Gwendolyn Wright from The History Detectives has a mission: to determine if Anne Zorela's antique map is a diagram of the Underground Railroad routes. One reason Anne believes the map is authentic is because of the Quaker meeting houses pictured. The Quakers helped fugitive slaves along the railroad routes. The documented region was also a known hotbed of Underground Railroad activity. These and other reasons have her convinced but she wants more proof to support her conclusion. Professor Gwendolyn Wright disagrees with Anne because fugitives as well as conductors and helpers on the Railroad would’ve been discovered and killed if a map fell into the wrong hands. (03:39)

Cancun, Mexico, looks remarkably different to the international tourists who come to get away, to the Mayan descendants who farm their fathers' land, to the Mexicans who find employment at resorts, and to the global corporations that see opportunity for investments. These contrasting experiences of different people in the same region are what geographers call "geographical imaginations." (This is video #1 on the website.) (27:22)
