Several genes help determine what makes a human embryo develop female or male sexual anatomies. This session examines recent findings which have challenged previous beliefs about the roles of anatomy, environment, and genetics in the determination of gender, and the evolution of sexual determination.
Have you Heard? - News of a "new kid" on the Savannah is spreading like wildfire, the only problem is, everything the kids hear about this new kid is a bit different from the last thing they heard. With Mama's help, they learn that it's not just what you hear, but what you do with what you hear.

Topology, known as "rubber sheet math," is a field of mathematics that concerns those properties of an object that remain the same even when the object is stretched and squashed. In this unit we investigate topology's seminal relationship to network theory, the study of connectedness, and its critical function in understanding the shape of the universe in which we live.
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.

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.
