Connections can be physical, as with bridges, or immaterial, as with friendships.

This unit looks at how this branch of mathematics provides insights into extremely complicated networks such as ecosystems.
While essential to the lives of humans and animals, fresh water only accounts for six percent of the world's water supply. Scientists in Florida's Everglades and the water challenged Southwest consider the optimum use of existing sources of fresh water for both humans and ecosystems.

This episode of "GED Connection" covers measurement. It goes over the units of measurement that we use, when we use them, and how they're converted to other forms of measurement. It is explained that useful conversions will be supplied on the GED test for those who take it but that it's a good idea to commit them to memory anyways. The program takes a look at workers on a construction site as they use a tape measure to figure out feet and inches, a landscape architect as she figures out the area and volume of the space she is working on, and an architect as she explains the importance of volume and cubic feet and yards. This program also covers the benefits of the metric system.
The early Earth was a much different planet than the one we know today. Ancient rocks provide evidence of the emergence of oxygen in the atmosphere and of a frozen Snowball Earth. Scientists Paul Hoffman and Andrew Knoll look at these clues to help explain the rise of complex animal life.
