Upon viewing the Weather Around Us video series, students will be able to do the following: Define weather as the condition of the lower atmosphere close to Earth. Understand that weather is constantly changing. Understand that...

The cycle of water from the air to the ground to the oceans and back to the air never ends. Water is found in the air, in the ground, in rivers and oceans, and it's found as gas, liquid, and solid. As it moves though phases and locations...

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

The orbit of Earth on a tilted axis around the sun leads to the seasons. The resulting change of angle of the sun, and length of day controls how warm we get at different times of the year. With those changes in seasons come changes in...

Record high temperatures in the region are accelerated by soil drying, and together these changes are magnifying the decline of soil water. <br/>

Climate is the average type of weather that a region has. It is defined by temperature and moisture. Proximity to oceans and large mountain ranges defines climate too, depending upon the prevailing wind. While climates change over...

Weather lessons come alive for students in simple experiments and demonstrations. Kids show the basic principles of weather in these easy experiments and demonstrations. Using everyday materials, watch how to make a tornado in a bottle....

If you have ever torn up a piece of paper or seen ice melt, then you have witnessed physical changes. This fascinating program helps students understand some of the different ways matter changes physically. Vivid animations also...

Everyday we experience weather. This interesting series of programs helps students understand the factors that contribute to weather formation. Real-life examples enable students to appreciate the different aspects of weather....

Planets Set: 3. This clip presents a simplified overview of the Earth's geography and biomes.

In Water as a Natural Resource we are introduced to words such as habitat, ecosystem, watershed and estuary. Not only do kids learn that water exists everywhere on Earth, but that it is vital for life in plants, animals, and all other...

A blue sky and fluffy bright clouds are things that are seen around the world. The atmosphere presents a multitude of sights and phenomena using light, air, water droplets, ice crystals, and dust. Many of the phenomena give clues to...

The Sun, Water Cycle, & Climate shows us how the sun produces heat to drive the water cycle. It's made clear that the water cycle continues in the absence of sunlight or heat. We learn how the two components of climate- temperature and...

Water in the Air reveals the varied phases of water that surround us, fall on us, travel in air, and serve as a crucial component of the water cycle. Emphasis is on the fact that water in air can be vapor or solid, visible or invisible,...
