Video Clips
Click on the picture to get the video clip that goes
with it. You can download the video clips. Simply right-click on
the video once you see it play on your computer. Choose the option to
save the file. Due to space limitations at this site and a growing
collection of video, sound, and photos, we have established another
domain and site that will be linked to this one. When you click on the
video clip to play it, don't be surprised that the address changes. The
other site has much faster servers and it will speed up your ability to
see the clips quicker.
All of the clips on the page are ones that we've taken and produced.
Educators and students may use these in non-commercial productions.
They may not be sold and they may not be posted on your webpage.
However, your
students can include the video clips in a QTI project that may be
posted
to the Internet. You have permission to link to the clips if you find
them
of use.

Huntington Beach State Park gave us an opportunity to observe
alligators in the wild. This is a 3 mb MPG file of one of the
alligators swimming. The water is quite clear and you can see the
movement of the tail and the legs.
A slightly different view of one of the alligators swimming near the
observation area at Huntington Beach State Park in South Carolina.
People sometimes wonder why they can't see
alligators in the water. Alligators do a great job of making themselves
"disappear." In this short clip, you see the alligator come to a halt
and then just lower his body under the water. We watched as one
alligator did the same thing but then also submerged his snout so that
only his eyes remained above the water.
The tide was out the particular day we were at
Huntington Beach. With the water gone, the salt marsh revealed
thousands of small crabs. Most of these appeared to be fiddler crabs if
we recall the information correctly. They are distinguished by having
one large claw. We couldn't get over the sheer numbers of them moving
across the mud at the same time.
More fiddler crabs from Huntington Beach State Park.
While exploring some of
the parks, we noticed huge amounts of foam in some areas. We thought it
was pollution and then discovered that it was the result of naturally
occuring "soaps" in the soil. Here's a large lump of foam that has
become lodged on the rocks and trees in the water at Goodale State Park
in South Carolina.
There is a large pond filled with cypress at Goodale
State Park. As you walk around the edge of the pond, your eyes might
catch the worn path going down the slope. If you look more carefully,
you'll even discover steps that make the trip down the slope a little
easier. The short journey is worthwhile. There is a beautiful, shaded
glade at the bottom with swift running water that quiets down to a
pretty stream.
This is a view of the same area at Goodale State Park. We've walked
further down the trail where the water is quieter and perfectly clear.
