70's movie shown in junior high science class

[Scifiguy3k]

Does anyone remember movies shown in junior high back in the 70's. The movie I'm having trouble remembering starts out with a man in a white hazmat suit walking through a deserted city. He then enters a museum and seems upset about the displays of animals. He finally enters a room to watch a film about pollution (I think) and the extinction of everything. At the time I remember feeling scared about the future of the earth (believing this will happen). We were so easily influenced back then.

We watched a lot of those grainy b&w films and the only two I remember was one on how to write an outline (in cursive longhand) and somebody in a lab coat demonstrating that if you bake a watermelon for a long time, not much is left. There may have been more to that one.

And the duck and cover one. But that was in grade school.

Not it, but any chance to link to Hemo the Magnificent will make a Doper go Ahhhhh!

Oh, man ... Hemo! And 'Our Mister Sun', and the one about Cosmic Rays. It was like a Christmas present when they showed them in school, even with our crummy film projector.

I remember noticing an excerpt of that one in "Gremlins"

I saw that one in 6th grade. Still remember it to this day.

That, the "beware of child molesters" one and the "anti-drug" one where the guy goes to a party, takes a few hits off a joint, and the next thing you know, he's shooting up heroin!

Drawing a blank on another classic ... the circulatory system or some such with the teacher and the animated animals.

Bonus though. In searching for it I found an old Dope thread about something else I'd been craving to rewatch. Telezonia!

After the mention of Hemo The Magnificent I went looking for an old thread I started asking for ID of a biology class film (the answer was, of course, Hemo the Magnificent). http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/...d.php?t=329442

I found that we have discussed Hemo the Magnificent quite a lot on these boards.

One of the cooler films our Grade 9 Science/Health teacher showed us was Disney's VD Attack Plan!

But there was another film he showed us that I'm having a harder time finding info on. The only thing I remember is that it had a live dog that had its chest cut open and its beating heart was suspended outside of its body, hooked to the rest of the circulatory system with tubes. It was incredibly creepy.

The OP sounds oddly like the premise of Serenity (the Firefly movie).
