Major topics include health effects, exposures, and protective measures. Other educational concepts include internal radiation hazard, radon and its daughters/progeny. This instructional film is from Kansas State University's web-based course, GENAG 711, Occupational and Agricultural Health. Copyright 2011, Mitch Ricketts.

Of particular interest is the simulation titled "Engineering a Crop" in which a tomato plant resistant to an insect pest is constructed using transgenic methods. The simulation is very interactive. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=594476 This film explores the health effects of ionizing radiation (radioactivity). The film also examines methods for reducing exposures to radiation in workplaces. Educational concepts include ionizing radiation, radiation sickness, radiation burns, other health effects, ion pairs, free radicals, penetration versus interaction, and time/distance/shielding.

The Class Material section contains curricula, outlines, facts, and subject-relevant links to courses such as biotechnology, forestry, and agriculture. Agrimania offers a photo reservoir pertaining to dairy judging, breeds of livestock, feed identification, and more. Other sections include links, a search directory, a glossary, and a subject index with multimedia options. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=298281 The repository developed by the Food and Agriculture Organization provides full text access to publications, articles and meeting documents produced by the FAO. There are journal articles in the following areas: public health, agriculture, diseases, natural resources, trade and marketing and more. For more information about FAO Corporate Document Repositories see:http://www.fao.org/documents/. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=449824 This course provides an understanding of the complex and challenging public health issue of food security and in a world where one billion people are under-nourished while another billion are overweight. Explores the connections among diet, the current food and food animal production systems, the environment and public health, considering factors such as economics, population and equity. Case studies are used to examine these complex relationships and as well as alternative approaches to achieving both local and global food security and the important role public health can play. Guest lecturers include experts from a variety of disciplines and experiences. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=594456 This film examines the process of radioactive decay as part of an educational unit on the health effects of ionizing radiation (radioactivity). Educational concepts include radioisotope, radioactive decay, alpha radiation, beta radiation, gamma radiation, x-radiation, decay chain, and half-life.

The LiFE Curriculum Series addresses both a major science education goal to promote scientific literacy for all Americans and major national health goals for people to eat healthful diets and lead physically active lives. LiFE uses the study of food and food systems to address national science standards in the areas of science as inquiry; life sciences; and unifying concepts such as understanding systems as interacting parts and understanding the flow of energy and matter through systems. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=709893 Manipulación y elaboración de Alimentos.
