Species are being lost at a rapid rate in rainforests and coral reefs. Yet many species still have not been discovered. Tropical scientists struggle to keep ahead of the bulldozers as they work to understand this complex ecosystem. And an ocean biologist predicts the death of life and the "rise of slime" in the sea. How can we protect the biodiversity of these vulnerable ecosystems?
Here Today, Gone Tomorrow - Karla makes a new friend, Winnie (a Wildebeest), and is stricken to discover that Winnie and her mother are "migratory," and must soon be on their way. Mama shares through her movies why animals migrate, and assures Karla that Winnie will be back this way before she knows it. Nobody's Perfect - Bo, who has been boasting about his leaping ability, has an accident that's very embarrassing. Mama (through some very funny movies) shows Bo that all animals make mistakes - it's one of the ways we learn.

This program underscores how chemistry affects all aspects of life. Several expert guests discuss chemistry terms and concepts in various applications. A glass blower discusses the three states of matter - solid, liquid, and gas - and how heat can transform one to another. Matter is grouped into elements, mixtures, and compounds. Elements are composed of protons and neutrons in nucleus, as well as electrons. Compounds are two or more elements in specific proportions that have been chemically combined. Mixtures combine elements or compounds in any amounts. A cook demonstrates how heating sugar until it becomes caramel changes one compound into another. The program shows a scientist studying the chemical structure of plants in order to improve the strength of lumber. Two Test Connection segments feature the host reviewing previous concepts, including the difference between mixtures and compounds, and the arrangement of the periodic table of elements based on atomic number.
