Abigail Fraeman, deputy project scientist on the Mars Exploration Rover mission, discusses the Opportunity rover mission.

Upon viewing the Our Distant Neighbors video series, students will be able to do the following: Create a simple diagram of the sun and the orbital paths of each planet around the sun. Label each of the eight planets. Explain that the sun...

Astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope have conducted the first spectroscopic survey of Earth-sized planets in the TRAPPIST-1 system's habitable zone. Hubble reveals that at least the inner five planets do not seem to...

This animated video is all about earth's only natural satellite - The Moon. Students will love this engaging and interactive video.

Scientists have found a network of salty liquid water lakes on Mars beneath the planet’s south pole, according to new research published Monday in the journal Nature Astronomy. <br/>

In this episode of our Curious Universe podcast, join us on a journey to the Red Planet.

In a generic brick building on the northwestern edge of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center campus in Greenbelt, Maryland, thousands of computers packed in racks the size of vending machines hum in a deafening...

The more we see other planets, the more the question comes into focus: Maybe we're the weird one? Decades of observing Earth from space has informed our search for signs of habitability and life on exoplanets and even planets...

This program begins by defining heat of vaporization is the amount of heat that must be added or given off to vaporize one gram or kilogram of a substance and is expressed as J/g or J/kg. Through real, live footage and animation,...

But why is the rum gone? Don’t worry, pirates. Long Jane Silver is refilling the rum barrels. Elsewhere, Blackbeard and Cookie the Chef have a showdown. Who is the best separator of seawater across the seven seas? This lesson will...

We know that the free energy change associated with a process will tell us whether it is spontaneous or not. And we also know that this depends on the change in enthalpy and the change in entropy for that process, as well as the...

Last spring, NASA’s Operation IceBridge flew over one of Greenland’s earliest melt seasons on record. This year, the melt is progressing more typically, despite warm temperatures in the Arctic. Brooke Medley reflects on...

Life as we know it requires three ingredients: energy, organic...

We were lucky enough to get early access to THE WORLD'S LARGEST INDOOR TROPICAL RAINFOREST at The Eden Project. Whilst playing on the awesome cloud bridge we thought what better question to tackle than...How do Rainforests Make...

Every year, intrepid Antarctica explorers hunt for space rocks that have fallen to Earth.

Learn about why thunderstorms, tornadoes, hurricanes, and other weather phenomena typically form during the summer.

Is there water on Mars? There sure is! It’s not exactly like water on Earth, but Martian H20 can tell us a lot about the planet’s distant past while potentially aiding explorers in the future. Some of the water is even trapped inside...

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

Researchers looked at radar data and found there’s even more liquid-water lakes under Mars — or there may be something going on inside Mars that they don't fully understand. <br/>

Life is tough for thirsty pirates – the sea is filled with water that can’t be drunk! Thankfully, Blackbeard has figured out a trick. This lesson will compare heterogeneous and homogeneous mixtures. We’ll also look at solutions, which...

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...

This video explains the relationship between energy and changes of states in matter. It discusses the different changes of state, such as melting, boiling, and condensing, and the fixed temperatures at which they occur. The concept of...

How many movies have you seen about aliens? Are any of them realistic? Does intelligent life exist elsewhere in the universe or are we totally alone? Both options are rather terrifying, frankly. But there are scientists that spend their...

In this video, we learn about the water cycle and how water continually moves and changes from place to place and from phase to phase. The video explains the three main steps of the water cycle: evaporation, condensation, and...
