Studying individuals with natural resistance to HIV has led to insight s into the infection process and may produce new treatments or a vacci ne. This session explores recent developments in the study of HIV and AIDS, the future global impact of the current infection levels, and th e ethical issues surrounding current research and treatments.
I Spy - Max, when playing "I Spy" with Bo and Karla, feels like he can't keep up. Mama shows him that not only is it okay to move more slowly (especially if you're an elephant), but there's a whole world of things to see when you're not zipping around like a zebra (or a cheetah). Eyes, Ears, Noses and Trunks - Playing "Kick the Coconut" Bo, Max and Karla meet a friendly Fruit Bat named Merlin. He's really good at the game, which, until then, had been Bo's best game. Mama shows the gang a movie about "echolocation," as a way of introducing the other senses. As a result, the kids.

Connections can be physical, as with bridges, or immaterial, as with f riendships. 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 uni t looks at how this branch of mathematics provides insights into extre mely complicated networks such as ecosystems.
At Pennsbury Manor Dave recalls William Penn's upbringing in England. Viewers learn that the King of England granted Penn the largest land charter ever given, hoping that other Quakers would follow Penn to the New World. Dave explains how Penn founded Philadelphia as a city of tolerance and how he created a system of government that provided for the separation of powers and checks and balances. Dave's final stop is Betsy Ross' house, where he tells the story of the creation of the first U.S. flag.
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 top ology's seminal relationship to network theory, the study of connected ness, and its critical function in understanding the shape of the univ erse in which we live.
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.

This program in the Science section of the GED Connection series focus es specifically on Life Science topics. The program features a studio host, excerpted comments from guest experts, video, on screen graphics and animation to address various life science topics. There are two " Test Connection" segments, following discussions on photosynthesis and the Human Genome Project, where host sums up topic and poses question for students to consider. Other topics covered include the cell - bot h animal and plant , the food web, DNA, mitosis and meiosis. Also ment ioned are changes over time in organisms and ecosystems, including evo lution and extinction, which can be influenced by the impact of man.
