Stunning, relevant, in-depth reporting, and a meditation on the beauty of nature: I highly recommend this video for mature students
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38peWm76l-U in general i do not recommend to my students to post copyrighted material on Youtube. But I am STUNNED by the information in this video particularly around minutes 28 to 44.... I highly recommend this presentation.

I suggest this video for mature students because it needs to be seen in "bits and pieces" and it needs to be pondered. This is not a "screen change every 10 seconds" or a music-driven ode to teenaged hormones. This video is the culmination of years of work and could be in IMAX theaters because it is so visually impactful. Here are some captions and images from the video

one trillion gallons of salty brine plunge down into the Weddell Sea every hour in the winter, released from the formation of ice on the surface.
I am a taxpayer and I believe that teachers, students, principals and parents need descriptions of a new way of teaching. I wake up every morning with Dr. Fischler's question in my head: "How do you become a visible change agent in this environment?" and "Time is a variable" and "The Student is the Class." The words of Daniel H. Pink, Will Sutherland, John Corlette, Eliot Levine, Elliot Washor, Charles Mojkowski and Dennis Littky inform my daily work.
