Answer to Question #155279 in Physics for Myonna

Question

 Science Life, Earth, or Physical Science related television show or documentary

Current events in science research are usually not covered in science textbooks. This is an area where television, and streaming internet, can be a great resource. One example is the Discovery, PBS show Nature. NOVA and NOVA Science Now are also great shows about current scientific research. If there are any other ideas you have, please check with your teacher before turning in the assignment so that you get full credit.

To complete this extra credit assignment you will need to answer the following questions during or after the program:

● What is the overall topic of the program?

● How does this topic relate to what we have already study in science class

● What is the name of one scientist who was interviewed during the program? I need these questions answered it would be great !

Answer 1

I chose a PBS Nature show "Annual Alpine Frog Orgy". The show was about frogs that live high in the mountains (8000 ft above the sea level).

This topic relates to what I have already studied in science class because the new fact I learned was that these frogs have built-in solar ultraviolet radiation protection, and the radiation is strong at such altitudes.

No scientist was interviewed during the show.
