A fossil is a trace of a living thing left in rock. Fossils offer a three-part challenge - first to reconstruct the organism itself, then to reconstruct the world it lived in, then to understand its place in time and evolution.

An overview of the way we count.

In this video students will learn about the two major types of weathering, and the forces that alter the shape and composition of rocks. Students will explore the different types of soils, soil properties and the soil profile. Other...

Five simple weather demonstrations you can do at home or at school to show the properties of water, using your hands and everyday materials.

Using footage of dust and sand storms, this program demonstrates that wind erosion moves small particles and is prevalent in dry areas where water does not hold surface particles together. Students will learn that once the particles are...

Are we about to run out of chocolate, wine or even sperm? Humanity is certainly going through its resources at an alarming rate, so what important items are on the brink of extinction?

The forces of sun, wind and water have changed the face of earth just as much as tectonics. Weathering and erosion are driven by gravity, flattening the landscape. They create soil. Deposition starts the process of forming sedimentary rock.
