In this video Paul Andersen explains how soils are formed and classified. Weathering of rock creates particles which are mixed with water, air, and organic material. Soils are classified according to particle size, chemical makeup, and...

In this live-action program viewers will learn that Soil is the top most layer of earth, lying on top of a layer of bedrock. Soil is often black or dark brown to red, comprised of mixture of organic remains, clay and rock particles....

This program explores the role of water erosion from its initial impact to deposition. Students will come to understand that starting with impact of raindrops, water erodes the landscape by transporting rock and soil. By watching this...

In this video you will learn about the dynamic rock cycle. Plant roots help to create new soil from the solid rock and they get nutrients and support from the soil. This solid rock is often sandstone or granite. They are made up of...

This live-action video program is about the word Soil. The program is designed to reinforce and support a student's comprehension and retention of the word Soil through use of video footage, photographs, diagrams and colorful, animated...

Landslides occur when material like debris, rock, and soil become dislodged from the earth and slide downward at speeds that can approach 100 miles per hour. David Montgomery at the University of Washington studies past and present...

Rovers like Curiosity search for life on Mars using rock and soil samples, but why don't they examine liquid or frozen water?

How was Horseshoe Canyon formed? Has it always been that way? In this video we will explore how Horseshoe Canyon was formed as well as look into what weathering and erosion are. We can't wait to explore with you!
