👁What is the rarest color in nature?
🧠Victoria Hwang
🗣Subtitle: 🇹🇷Turkish | 🇬🇧English

So, which colors are you least likely to see in the natural world? Victoria Hwang explores one of nature's rarest spectacles. [Directed by Tamara Bogovac, Artrake Studio, narrated by Alexandra Panzer, music by Nikola Radivojevic].

👁The world's slimiest animal
🧠Noah R. Bressman and Douglas Fudge
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣In 2017, a truck screeched to a halt. One of its containers slid off, hit a car, and spilled its contents— thousands of kilograms of hagfish. The result of this accident was an absolute mess: the highway was coated in a thick slime that took the fire department 7 hours to clear. How did these creatures create this stupendous supply of slime? Noah R. Bressman and Douglas Fudge investigate. [Directed by Denys Spolitak, narrated by Jack Cutmore-Scott, music by Jarrett Farkas].

👁This weird trick will help you summon an army of worms
🧠Kenny Coogan
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣In the middle of Florida's Apalachicola National Forest, a bizarre, almost magical scene is unraveling. Sliding a metal strip over a wooden stake, a master summoner is sending deep croaking noises reverberating throughout the area. And, as if in a trance, hundreds of earthworms begin emerging from the soil. What's going on? Kenny Coogan explores the tradition known as worm grunting. [Directed by Martina Meštrović, narrated by Alexandra Panzer, music by Marko First].

👁The benefits of daydreaming
🧠Elizabeth Cox
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣On a daily basis, you spend between a third and half of your waking hours daydreaming. That may sound like a huge waste of time, but scientists think it must have some purpose, or humans wouldn't have evolved to do so much of it. So, what exactly happens in the brain while you daydream? Elizabeth Cox takes a closer look at the science of daydreaming through the mind of a teenager. [Directed by Biljana Labović, narrated by Alexandra Panzer and Hani Furstenberg, music by Weston Fonger].

👁Why do women have periods?
🧠TED-Ed
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣A handful of species on Earth share a seemingly mysterious trait: a menstrual cycle. We're one of the select few mammals on Earth that menstruate, and we also do it more than any other animal, even though it's a waste of nutrients, and can be a physical inconvenience. So where's the sense in this uncommon biological process? TED-Ed describes the history and evolution of menstruation. [Directed by TED-Ed, narrated by Susan Zimmerman].

👁Why do we have crooked teeth when our ancestors didn't?
🧠G. Richard Scott
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣According to the fossil record, ancient humans usually had straight teeth, complete with wisdom teeth. In fact, the dental dilemmas that fuel the demand for braces and wisdom teeth extractions today appear to be recent developments. So, what happened? While it's nearly impossible to know for sure, scientists have a hypothesis. G. Richard Scott shares the prevailing theory on crooked teeth. [Directed by Igor Coric, Artrake Studio, narrated by Addison Anderson, music by Salil Bhayani, cAMP Studio].
