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...

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 on Earth focuses on water as most kids would think about it. We start with water in obvious locations such as oceans, lakes, and rivers. We quickly learn that water can change phase to remain a solid in glaciers. Many kids may be...

The video is about the different components of an ecosystem, specifically the biotic components, which include all living things in an area. The video provides examples of different populations and communities, such as monarch and tiger...

This video provides an introduction to the concept of abiotic components in ecosystems, using a grassland in Iowa as an example. The video highlights the importance of abiotic components and how they play a crucial role in sustaining the...

The video explores the concept of ecosystems and their different environments on Earth. It features various examples of ecosystems, including a tidal pool, a salt marsh, and a grassland. Ecosystem Dynamics part 3/10

This video explains the concept of energy flow in an ecosystem, particularly in a forest ecosystem. It highlights the relationship between producers, consumers, and decomposers and how they interact with each other to obtain energy....

Ecosystems!

Learn about different types of ecosystems. This video is a great introduction to types of ecosystems. An ecosystem is a community of interacting organisms and their environment. This is a great way for children to...

The Effects of Disturbances on Ecosystems: This Clip gives examples of how disturbances - both large and small - affect ecosystems and their reestablishment.

The video discusses the concept of energy flow in an ecosystem, highlighting the complex relationships between producers, consumers, and decomposers. A simplified diagram of a forest ecosystem is shown, illustrating the...

The video explains the concept of an ecosystem and how ecologists divide the world into ecological systems. Ecosystems part 2/8
