Summary:
Records an experiment in which the molecular weight of a compound is determined through knowledge of the percentage composition by weight of the compound and application of Avogadro's Law. Animation is employed to show the differences in characteristics of two substances of identical composition through reference to the substances' molecular structure.
Shows the variety of ways animals obtain food and their different types of digestive cavities--fully closed, one opening, and two openings. Examines digestive organs in an earthworm, grasshopper, frog, cat, and bird. Looks at peristalsis in a dog's stomach and the action of the villi in a pigeon's small intestine.

Summary:
Economical driving practices are suggested by a service station operator to a boy who has just received permission to drive the family car alone. Includes care of the car's finish, warming up of the engine, proper use of clutch, efficient braking practices, and the effect of acceleration and speed on tire wear and gasoline consumption.
Presents a record of the successful experiments in resuscitating dead animals conducted at the Institute of Experimental Physiology and Therapy at Veronezh, U.S.S.R., by Dr. S. S. Bryukhonenko. The Institute makes use of apparatus called the "autojector" to carry out the functions of the heart and lungs, and years of pioneering in the technique of resuscitation are climaxed in the sequence showing reanimation of a dog that has been killed. Recommended for use only by individuals or groups professionally concerned with the advancement of science.
Compares the nervous systems of the hydra and earthworm with the complexity of the human nervous system. Details the physiology of the reflex arc and explains the activities of certain brain centers. Pictures laboratory experiments in which the encephalograph is used and explains its functions. Shows application of knowledge to actual techniques in brain surgery.
Discusses the earth as a whole and man's attempts to expand his own knowledge and use of the planet's geography. Traces the geographic growth of man's first movements in search of food, his invention of the compass, the resulting discovery of new worlds, the development of map making and methods of communication and travel. Illustrates the extent to which geography is significant in human affairs.
Describes through the narration of Wang Shen, a teen-age boy of the village of Pingtung, Taiwan, his home life, educational system, improved farming techniques, village commerce and industries and life in the larger city of Taipei.
