Continue learning about organizing and grouping data in different graphs and tables. Learn how to analyze and interpret variation in data by using stem and leaf plots and histograms. Learn about relative and cumulative frequency.
Connections can be physical, as with bridges, or immaterial, as with friendships. Both types of connections can be understood using the same mathematical framework called network theory, or graph theory, which is a way to abstract and quantify the notion of connectivity. This unit looks at how this branch of mathematics provides insights into extremely complicated networks such as ecosystems.
Explore several methods for finding the volume of objects, using both standard cubic units and non-standard measures. Explore how volume formulas for solid objects such as spheres, cylinders, and cones are derived and related.

Learn about the relationships between units in the metric system and how to represent quantities using different units. Estimate and measure quantities of length, mass, and capacity, and solve measurement problems.
Dave recalls the Pilgrim's decision to leave England and find a place free from religious persecution. Dave traces the Pilgrim exodus to Amsterdam, to Leiden, and finally to America where a land patent gives the settlers permission to settle in Virginia. Dave explains that the Mayflower Compact established social order and good government that would ultimately inspire the words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. Dave visits Plymouth Rock, and gives some idea of the Native American friendships that resulted in the first Thanksgiving on American soil.

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.
Global 3000 is Deutsche Welle's weekly magazine that explores the intersection of global development and the environmental and social conditions of the diverse cultures of the world. In each program, host Michaela Kufner presents three to four video-rich segments that profile a different part of the planet where man's quest for economic and industrial strength is jeopardizing the ecosystems and the social and economic structures of people thousands of miles away. The program not only documents where those struggles are taking place - but how some groups and individuals are finding solutions to the growing problems of global development.
What lasting impacts did modern imperialism have on the world? The profound consequences of imperialism are examined in the South African frontier and Brazil, where politics, culture, industrial capitalism, and the environment were shaped and re-shaped.
The origins of the human race are traced from anthropoid ancestors to the agricultural revolution.n
"Passing the GED Reading Test" is the first in five episodes that prepares the student for the GED Language Arts Reading test. The program explains the four areas of reading material that the upcoming episodes will cover (nonfiction, fiction, drama, and poetry) and also familiarizes the student with the test itself: what kinds of questions are asked and what the student needs to know. The program uses sample passages to cover the different types of questions that the student will be asked. They are: comprehension questions-figuring out what the text says and forming a conclusion; analysis questions-taking a look at the detail of the passage and making a decision about why it's there; application questions-taking something that's already been read and applying it to a slightly different context; and synthesis questions-putting it all together. GED teachers, English teachers, and writers all appear as guests in this episode.
