Key components to communication in the field of science are listening and speaking. This program demonstrates and models basic listening and speaking skills. Special emphasis is given to these skills in science as outlined in the ELA...

This video discusses how fossils provide valuable information about the history of life on Earth. By studying fossils, scientists have learned about extinct animals, past climates, and changes in Earth's climate. Fossils part 3/12

Fossils are windows to the past. This fascinating program takes a look at how fossils are formed and preserved. Special attention is given to the meaning, significance, and use of fossils in telling us about past life on Earth.

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.

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

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...

This video is a lesson on paleontology and the study of fossils. It discusses how fossils are formed, the fossil record, and the information scientists can gather from studying fossils. The video also explores the different eras of...

Fossils are the preserved remains of an animal or plant in a rock. Many of the fossils discovered so far are the ancestors of organisms that are alive today. The study of fossils is called paleontology. Much of what we understand about...

This video provides a brief introduction to fossils and paleontology. It explains the difference between a fossil, which is the remains or traces of once-living things, and a rock like granite. It also highlights the significance of...

In this video, the concept of the law of superposition is explained, which states that younger rock layers are found on top of older rock layers in sedimentary rocks. Additionally, the video introduces the concept of index fossils, which...

Upon viewing the Exploring Fossils video series, students will be able to do the following: Explain that fossils are the ancient remains or traces of once-living things. Understand that fossils come in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and...

Marg Rutka discovered a piece of fossilized coral back in the 1980s. It turned out to be a newly discovered fossil species from 445 million years ago. CBC’s Rachelle Elsiufi spoke with Rutka about the discovery and caught the moment she...

A McGill University undergraduate uncovered the fossil in 2023 during a digging expedition in Alberta’s Dinosaur Provincial Park. The finding sheds light on a 30-million-year gap in the evolution of dragonflies.

Czech National Museum Director General Michal Lukeš called the loan “a unique insight into the past” and a chance to deepen understanding of humanity’s roots.

Walter Campbell, 14, has bragging rights unlike pretty much any other teen. He just returned home to Texas from a visit to see his grandfather in Manitoba, where he unearthed skull bones of an 80-million-year-old mosasaur that's been...
