Human Body in Action Series
This video series focuses on the human body from cells to systems, including the reproductive and endocrine systems. Each DVD features real-world experiences, along with microphotography and graphics. Every program includes an easy-to-replicate, hands-on activity and an interview with an expert in a particular area of science.
Teacher's guides are included and feature additional information on the topic, vocabulary words, discussion questions, follow-up activities and lists of recommended books and Internet resources. The teacher's guides are available online at www.distributionaccess.com.

Microscopic Life
This video explores the world of microscopic life. It begins by discussing viruses and explaining how these cause disease. The video pays special attention to protists, comparing the structure and function of plant-like, animal-life and fungus-like protists.

Pearson Saskatchewan Science 8. Student Edition
Saskatchewan Science 8 is custom published for Saskatchewan and developed by a team of Saskatchewan teachers. At the beginning of each unit, the Big Ideas box sets the focus for the unit. A Big Idea then provides the title for each section in the unit. Throughout the unit, opportunities are provided for students to work together, communicate ideas, perform experiments and carry out library and Internet research. Key vocabulary is bolded throughout the unit and an explanation of each term is provided. All key terms and explanations are also listed in a glossary at the back of the text. First Nations and Métis content, perspectives and ways of knowing are an integral part of the Saskatchewan science text. Highlights of the activities and achievements of Saskatchewan men and women are provided in the Ask an Elder, Ask an Expert and Careers and Profiles features. In each unit, the Ask an Elder feature provides access to the wisdom of a First Nations or Métis Elder or Traditional Knowledge Keeper, who shares an oral story related to the content of that unit.

Hidden Worlds: Looking Through a Scientist's Microscope
Photographer Dennis Kunkel uses powerful microscopes to reveal the hidden beauty of everyday objects: a crystal of sugar, a grain of pollen, a mosquito's foot and the delicate hairs on a blade of grass. Students will learn how Kunkel became interested in microscopes, how he prepares specimens for study and how different microscopes work. The photographs provide a look at the work of a microscopist and the world he explores.

After Life: The Strange Cycle of Decay
This video explains decomposition, one of nature's most important processes. For two months in the summer of 2011, a glass box containing food laid out from a typical kitchen and garden for a family of four was left to rot in full public view within Edinburgh Zoo. In this resulting documentary, presenter Dr. George McGavin and his team use time-lapse cameras and 3-D photography to capture the way in which moulds, microbes and insects are able to break down our everyday things and allow new life to emerge from old. The film reveals the incredible science of taphonomy, discovering what happens to organic matter as it starts to decompose. Whole new ecosystems of life invade, each more complex than you would ever expect. The micro-organisms involved in turning milk sour, lactobacillus, are highlighted; in addition to pseudomonas, micro-organisms that make meat smell; and botrytis cinerea, those that make fruit and vegetables go velvety grey.
Microbiology gives us insight into the part played by bacteria, yeasts and fungi. Biochemistry reveals how the chemical processes in living organisms cause change. Entymology reveals the vital role of insects in the great cycle of decay. The video also explores the incredible science behind preservation, from new food packaging and chemical additives to UV radiation and osmotic pressures.
