Liz has disappeared and the trail leads to Herp Haven, which is some kind of spa for reptiles. There, they see a woman named Mrs. Wesley ask for her turtle to be "toasted and stuffed, just like the last one." The class has decided to lead a rescue mission to find Liz, on which they learn about reptiles and how they need to move from place to place to get comfortable because they are cold blooded, which comes in handy, as Ms. Frizzle turned them into some!

This video shows how Jackson forced the Indian tribes living East of the Mississippi by passing legislation to that effect. The legislation was overthrown by the Supreme Court, but Jackson refused to abide by this decision. This video shows the horrid conditions that the Indians went through and their Trail of Tears. It also explains the nullification act of South Carolina brought to Jackson by Calhoun, an early separatist. These are good talking points for students. (03:32)

Anesthesia has allowed surgeries to be completely painless for the patient. Who actually discovered it, however, is up for debate. By the 1840's, several individuals were on the trail of finding a more affective anesthetic. Two dentists from Boston, and a doctor from Georgia were all experimenting with two drugs, laughing gas, and ether. All three doctors claim to be the one who actually discovered anesthesia.

A brief look at Andrew Jackson and the Indian Removal Act of 1830 is the subject of this three minute video. It tells the way the Act was fought by the tribe and they were backed by the Supreme Court. Jackson ignored this and thousands of Native Americans died in the Trail of Tears episode. The Nullification Act is also explained as the South starts to fight the Constitution and start steps resulting in the Civil War at a later date.

This video is accompanied by text. "In the late eighteenth century, primitive methods of travel were still in use in America. Waterborne travel was uncertain and often dangerous, covered-wagon and stagecoach travel over rutted trails was uncomfortable, and all types of travel were very slow. Americans were aware that a transportation network would increase land values, stimulate domestic and foreign trade, and strengthen the American economy.
In 1794, a private company completed the Philadelphia-Lancaster Turnpike, a broad, paved highway that was similar to the good European highways at that time..."

Part 3 in a discussion on How do changes in Earth's magnetic field and ionosphere affect us? Kyle Johnson – University of Colorado. Talks about meteor entry into the atmosphere (large flaming balls and little pieces of sand) leaving a trail visible on radar. They use the meteor trails to model affects on the lower atmosphere. Our daily lives depend on the Sun so it’s important in understanding the nature of that energy balance; it’s not a direct connection, but its all connected. He had always been interested in NASA and this carries over into his interest in this remote sensing of things you could never be able to touch. Persistence—wanting to know what goes on is the real key—so you’ll acquire the math skills as the tools to do this. Keep at it even if someone tells you that you can’t. Run time 03:41.

Summer hiking can be a relaxing way to get in tune with nature. But snakes along the trail can quickly dampen your spirits. Knowing where they typically roam as well as how to avoid them will help you stay Snake Aware. Dr. Becky McPeake, Wildlife, gives you tips on how to avoid snakes when you're out in the woods. This is a good teaching resource for a lesson/unit on reptiles, animal habits, and/or food chains. It is also beneficial in teaching adults and children to identify venomous and non-venomous snakes. This video discusses snakes found in Arkansas. (3:44)

From EsoCast. Look closely and see a meteor shower captured in this series of time lapse shots. On 14--16 December 2012, the Geminid meteor shower made a spectacular appearance over ESO's Paranal Observatory in Chile. As the meteors showered down over the site, photographer Gianluca Lombardi spent over 40 hours recording it.
The Geminids is a shower of shooting stars appearing to emanate from within the constellation of Gemini (The Twins). This shower occurs when the Earth cuts through the orbit of an asteroid named 3200 Phaethon, which happens once each year, in December. Particles in the trail of dust along the orbit of Phaethon burn up in our atmosphere, creating the brilliant, fast-moving points of light characteristic of meteor showers. (03:05)
