Play's the Thing - Bo, Karla and Max can't decide on what game to play - they each have a favorite of their own. Mama's home movies show them that every animal likes to play differently whether it is swinging, running or gnawing. As a result, the children understand that each of their favorite games actually helps them practice skills they will use later in life. Sam Spades of the Savanna - Bo, it seems, has lost his favorite feather...or more accurately, someone seems to have taken it! Mama and the kids go on a mission to solve the mystery of the missing feather.

All sound is the product of airwaves crashing against our eardrums. The mathematical technique for understanding this and other wave phenomena is called the Fourier analysis, which allows the disentangling of a complex wave into basic waves called sinusoids, or sine waves. In this unit we discover how the Fourier analysis is used in creating electronic music and underpins all digital technology.
Standing on the banks of the Delaware near Philadelphia, Dave recalls the victory at Trenton, New Jersey when the Continental Army crossed the Delaware and overcame the Hessian troops under the command of Colonel Rall. At Monmouth Battlefield State Park Dave introduces the "first Pentagon", a dining room at Ford House that served as meeting place for the leaders of the Continental Army in the two winters that Washington and his troops prepared for the final battles of the Revolutionary War.

In Good Shape is the weekly health show on DW, covering all aspects of health care: what's new in medical treatment, alternative medicine, wellness and fitness - as well as nutrition and beauty. In our studio interview we discuss topics in-depth with specialists, and offer you opportunities to pose your own questions. Dr. Carsten Lekutat and Stefanie Suren are alternate hosts of the program and will provide a combination of video-rich features and insightful interviews that grapple with some of the larger issues in medical treatment and healthcare. As an interactive feature of the program we also ask viewers to request a program topic Dr. Carsten Lekutat is a qualified General Practitioner and works as a doctor in Berlin.

This program on fractions is the fifth of 13 programs within the mathematics section of the series GED Connection. This episode explains the concept and many applications of fractions to make them more understandable and useful to adult learners who may have been previously intimidated by them. It explains a fraction as both a part-to-whole relationship as well as another way to write a division problem, using numerator and denominator. The program shows real-life uses of fractions in accurately measuring something, keeping time to musical beats, and in a horse trainer's calculations of required dosage and supply of medicine needed. The program explains how to find common denominators for adding and subtracting fractions, as well as how to subtract by borrowing from the whole number. Cross canceling or factoring is shown to be an easy way of simplifying a problem. Composites, numbers with many factors, and prime numbers, those whose only factors are one and themselves, are also addressed. Dividing is shown to be the same as multiplying by the reciprocal; and dividing by a number less than one is done the same way, except the result is a higher number than the dividend.
