Unlock the secrets of nature. Naturalist Outreach videos are short scientifically accurate videos that illuminate powerful concepts about nature and biological diversity. The videos are engaging and beautiful to help inspire the next generation of scientists and passion for the environment. The videos are presented to accessible and appealing Cornell University students who are role models for younger students. They bring to life core ideas from the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). See blogs.cornell.edu/naturalistoutreach and NYS 4H Stem pages for more guides and worksheets on these topics. A co-production of Dr. Linda Rayor, NYS-4H, and the Ithaca College Park Media Lab.
Threats to bee populations

Plant Defenses: How Plants Avoid Being Eaten
zhlédnutí 38KPřed 5 lety
Plants are under attack by large and small animals. They can't run away, so what strategies do plants have to escape their predators? Plants use mechanical defenses like thorns, chemical defenses, and animal body guards to protect themselves. Beautifully illustrated and explained. This is one of the many Cornell University's Naturalist Outreach Videos (https;//czcams.com/users/naturalistoutreac...

Beaks have evolved to help birds most efficiently capture and process food. See how birds that eat nuts, sip nectar, spear fish, and hunt prey have different kinds of beaks that help them get food most efficiently.
Aquatic Insects in Food Webs (Short)
zhlédnutí 6KPřed 7 lety
Aquatic insects are important environmental indicators of healthy ecosystems. Diverse aquatic insects are found in streams and ponds where they are critical to food webs. Some break down leaf litter, while others are predators, and many feed other animals. This is one of many 'naturalistoutreach' science videos on CZcams that explore nature and biodiversity. See blogs.cornell.edu/naturalistoutr...
Snakes! Behavior, Feeding and Diversity (Short)
zhlédnutí 3,5KPřed 7 lety
What makes snakes so fascinating? A shorter introduction to snakesr diverse prey capture methods, their ability to live in many habitats, or their potential risks to humans. Here Morgan discusses all aspects of snake biology. Look carefully, those aren't all dreadlocks...
Arthropod Predators---Nature's Defenders (Short)
zhlédnutí 2,3KPřed 7 lety
Arthropod Predators are diverse and voracious. Each has a different way to capture prey. Insects, spiders, scorpions, centipedes, praying mantids, assassin bugs, wasps, tiger beetles, and solpugids all hunt down other animals. Explore the world of these cunning predators in this Naturalist Outreach video. Produced by Cornell University's Naturalist Outreach Program and Ithaca College's Park Pro...
Insect Phylogeny: Understanding evolutionary relationships
zhlédnutí 22KPřed 7 lety
To better understand the relationships among insects and other organisms, scientists compare the similarities and differences in morphological and molecular traits of different species. These similarities and differences of the traits determine the branching patterns of the evolutionary tree or phylogeny. Museum collections are extremely useful for making comparisons among organisms. The video ...

Arachnid Diversity - Eight-legged Diversity: Spiders and Their Kin
zhlédnutí 28KPřed 7 lety
Arachnids (spiders, scorpions, harvestman, and more) are little known, but they have incredibly interesting behavior, crazy anatomy, and they are all around us. Get a close up view of the diversity, beauty, and fascinating lives of arachnids. A few of the arachnids are omitted (Palpigradi, Ricinulids, & Schizomida, Acarines - mites and ticks) for brevity. The video is jointly produced by Cornel...
Insect Evolution
zhlédnutí 21KPřed 7 lety
Evolution produces diverse forms and structures throughout the insects. Insects have modified their body plans to adapt to their environment. Natural selection has produced strikingly similar body plans in a process called convergent evolution. This video pairs with the Next Generation Science Standard's 3-LS4-2 Biological Evolution: Unity and Diversity lesson plan by demonstrating how benefici...
