An interpretive report on American schools which dramatizes the importance of the printed word in teaching and learning. Uses visual techniques--including a scene from Romeo and Juliet and a description of the workings of the cosmos--to portray many facets of the learning process as evidenced in both elementary and high school classrooms.
Discusses the extension of the senses through a variety of techniques that enables man to study events of short duration; uses analysis of a lighting flash as an example. Questions posed about lightning include: duration of lightening flash, direction of travel, and cause of flicker. Timing devices used include several special photographic techniques, using moving and highspeed cameras, pen recorders, and the oscilloscope. The theory behind each device is explained.
Discusses the use of the dance as a social commentary and relates it to the critical statements of artists in other fields. Presents a performance of "Caprichos" based on Goya's etchings of man's weaknesses. In contrast, an excerpt from Paeon is performed. Features choreographer Herbert Ross and his troupe.
Explains the basic principles of gravitational attraction that relate to the earth, and other planets, and the sun. Relates these principles to flights of rockets and artificial satellites and includes the experiments on weightlessness that is encountered by astronauts. Gives a number of practical examples from everyday life and explains the role of gravity in these situations. Concludes with three questions for children to solve.
A tour of the magnificent capital of Great Britain. The cameras have captured all the pageantry and color of England from the Thames bridges, Buckingham Palace and Big Ben, to the Trouping of the Colors ceremony.

This film describes the origin and growth of glaciers; surveys the work of glaciologists in trying to understand the structure of ice and its importance in the study of climatology, meteorology, and geology. Included are scenes of glaciologists at work in Antarctica, Greenland, Alaska, Washington, and on Mt. Kenya.
Illustrates, using animation and live-action photography, man's efforts to learn more about the structure of the earth through study of deep mine shafts, deep wells, volcanoes, and earthquakes. Describes early theories of the earth's structure and the present world-wide efforts to discover more about its structure. Points out means scientists use to study earthquakes, how this study contributes to an explanation of the structure of the earth's interior, and the use of explosion seismology to produce artificial earthquakes. The intense heat of the earth's interior is evidenced in volcanic eruptions, geysers, and bubbling mud. The plan for placing a seismograph on the moon and the "Mohole Project'' are briefly discussed.

This film traces the history of rocketry and describes the use of sounding rockets as tools for scientific research in the upper atmosphere; this film discusses the need for such tools, shows how rocket experiments are accomplished, and explains what they have contributed to meteorological and ionospheric research.
Shows the ecological succession of animal and plant life in the sand dune area at the southern end of Lake Michigan beginning with the sand washed ashore and ending with this region's climax forest, beech-maple. Explains the stages in the process emphasizing the general principles involved and highlighting significant details. Enumerates the successive stages as sand, drift, dry middle beach, pioneer grasses, cottonwoods, pines, oaks, and beech-maples. Animal life at each ecological interval is indicated.
