It’s
been more than 350 years since the microscope was invented, but scientists
still use it to see the world at a different scale. Take a larger-than-life
look at human and plant cells, and watch these tiny building blocks of life
in action. Observe how the body repairs damaged cells after an encounter
with boiling water. This program includes four short segments.

La
pubertad de las niñas: Cambios asombrosos por dentro y por fuera

This
is the Spanish version of "Puberty for Girls: Amazing Changes Inside
and Out."
La pubertad, una etapa de tremendos cambios físicos, sicológicos y
emocionales, puede ser muy excitante, pero también puede asustarnos,
confundirnos y causarnos dolor. Este video, a veces gracioso, otras veces conmovedor, pero
siempre honesto; ayuda a sus estudiantes a
entender lo que pronto le sucederá a sus cuerpos así como a sus sentimientos e ideas.
Un médico explica cómo las hormonas desencadenan el crecimiento acelerado y
desarrollo de nuestros cuerpos, al tiempo que una bella animación lo
muestra. Un sicólogo de adolescentes explica a sus estudiantes que no están
solas, que su relación con sus amigos, padres, su escuela y aún con su
propia imagen podría cambiar al tiempo con sus cuerpos. Si ellas entienden estos cambios,
podrán crecer mas fuertes, felices y saludables. Usted oirá a docenas de jóvenes sólo unos
años mayores que sus estudiantes, compartir sus historias, sus confusiones
y descubrimientos. Las estudiantes comprenderán que la pubertad es una
oportunidad para crecer con nueva libertad y sabiduría, al tiempo que
permanecemos jóvenes y felices. Si podemos aprender eso ahora, podremos
llevar una vida más saludable, feliz y confiada.
Puberty, a time of tremendous physical, psychological, and emotional
changes, can be very exciting, but also scary, confusing, and painful. This
video, often funny, sometimes touching, always honest, helps your students
understand what soon will be happening to their bodies as well as their
feelings and thoughts. A doctor explains how the hormones trigger the rapid
growth and development of our bodies while beautiful animation shows the
growing body. An adolescent psychologist helps your students understand
that they are not alone, that relationships with their friends, with
parents, with school, and even with their own self-image may soon change
along with their changing bodies. If they better understand these changes,
they can better grow stronger, happier, and healthier. You¹ll hear from
dozens of teen girls, just a few years older than your students, as they
share their very personal stories, their confusions, and their discoveries.
Students learn that puberty is really an opportunity to grow with new
freedom and new wisdom, while maintaining a youthful confidence and joy. If
we can learn this now, we can carry with us a lifetime of health,
confidence and happiness.

La
pubertad de los niños: Cambios asombrosos por dentro y por fuera
|

This
is the Spanish version of "Puberty for Boys: Amazing Changes Inside
and Out."
Cuando los niños llegan al principio de la edad adulta, se espera que lo
hagan solos. En un momento de grandes cambios y crecimiento, se espera que
no muestren miedo, nunca se sientan avergonzados, ni confundidos y aún más,
que no busquen ayuda y sean siempre fuertes. Este programa les ayuda a
entender todos los cambios físicos, sicológicos y emocionales que están a
punto de experimentar. Dos expertos, un médico y un sicólogo, proveen una
amplia base de hechos. Ellos explican los fundamentos de la adolescencia y
la pubertad. Escucharemos sobre las hormonas. Entenderemos las causas del vello púbico, los olores
corporales, el acné, las eyaculaciones y el interés en la sexualidad.
Docenas de adolescentes entre los 16 y 17 años, servirán de modelo positivo
para sus estudiantes. Ellos compartirán sus historias más privadas. Sus
experiencias nos ayudarán a entender la confusión,
la vergüenza, los miedos y asombros que todos enfrentamos durante la parte quizás más dramática
y excitante de la vida.
As boys grow into young adulthood, they are expected to do it alone. At a
time of unbelievable growth and change, they are expected to never show
fear, never show embarrassment, never be confused, never ask for help, and
always be tough. This program helps them to understand all of the new
physical, psychological, and emotional changes that they may soon
experience. Two experts, a medical doctor, and an adolescent psychologist,
provide the solid foundation of facts. They explain the underlying science
of adolescence and puberty. We hear about hormones. We understand the
causes behind pubic hair, body odor, pimples, ejaculations, and sexual
thoughts and feelings. Dozens of teen boys, ages 16 and 17, serve as
positive role models for your students. They share their thoughtful,
humorous, and very insightful stories. Their experiences enlighten us to the
very real confusions, embarrassments, fears, and amazements that everyone
must face at perhaps the most exciting and dramatic stage of life.
