It's Earth Science time!!!! In this field, natural philosophers were asking questions like, what’s up with fossils? Are they the remains of extinct organisms? Or are they so-called “sports of nature”—rocks that just happen to look like...

In this video Paul Andersen explains in more detail the history of the Earth. He shows how the history of the Earth is written in the rocks that are built up over time. Fossils allow us to compare different rock layers relative to one...

This video explores the layers of the Earth, from the crust to the inner core, comparing it to the layers of a sandwich. They discuss the composition and characteristics of each layer, highlighting the unique properties of the mantle,...

In the wake of World War 2, Clair Patterson embarked on a scientific quest to find out how old the Earth really is. His hard work paid off, but it also revealed a modern danger.

We are approaching a whole new era! . . .or at least a new epoch. Michael Aranda explains how humans are leaving their mark on the Geologic Time Scale.

A video entitled "Layers of History" which discusses how Earth's geographic features were formed, with a focus on the study of rock layers through absolute and relative dating.

“The Ozone Layer” will explain what the ozone layer is, how it is being damaged, and how global warming and climate change interact with it.

Learn about earth's 4 major geological subsystems and how they interact with one another with this fun educational music video and parents. Brought to you by KLT. Don't forget to sing along.

Earth Science for Kids is the fun way to learn important facts about earth science and prepare for tests. Take a fascinating journey to the Super Science Station to learn about types of rock.

In this video students identify evidence from patterns in rock formations and fossils to explain changes in the landscape over time. Live-action video footage of different lanscapes illustrate landscape changes. Students provide their...

Learn the basics about Alkaline Earth Metals, their uses and chemical properties. At Fuse School, teachers and animators come together to make fun & easy-to-understand videos in Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Maths & ICT. Our OER are...

Geology as science begins with the industrial revolution in England. For the first time rock strata are studied and compared and an amazing conclusion is drawn. Earth is unbelievably old.

A hydrogen atom is traveling high within the outermost layer of Earth's atmosphere. This particular atom first entered the exosphere millions of years ago, but today it overcomes Earth's gravitational pull and escapes, joining the...

If you've ever gone outside really early on a cold day in fall, you might have seen a thin layer of sparkly ice crystals covering everything! That ice is called frost, and it can only form if the weather is exactly...

About 1.8–0.8 billion ago, the Earth went through a period known as the Boring Billion, where not a lot changed in terms of geology, evolution, or even the number of hours in a day. Some scientists call it “the dullest period in Earth’s...

In November 1986, Australian miners climbed Lunatic Hill and bored 20 meters into the Earth. They were rewarded with a fist-sized, record breaking gemstone, which they named the Hailey's Comet opal. Thanks to a characteristic called...

When you learned about the Earth’s interior in school, you were probably shown a diagram that looked like a perfect layer cake. But we've known for a long time that that diagram is... inaccurate at best, and leaves out information that...

Scientists overwhelmingly agree that our climate is changing, Earth is getting warmer, sea levels are rising, and it's primarily because of humans putting lots of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Whether you already trust in the...

Our understanding of the world has to start somewhere! And while early ideas like the Hollow Earth Theory are mostly wrong and sound silly to us now, that doesn’t mean they weren’t important.

For years, geologists have been searching for an explanation for two strange blobs of Earth's mantle that are denser than the rest. It turns out, they may not be original parts of Earth at all.

You might have heard that Earth is due for a complete flip of its magnetic field. And while our planet does have a history of this behavior, predictions of when it might happen are too complex to estimate a date for.

Or why we live on an onion made of magma

Scientific discovery often dabbles in the extreme, challenging and exceeding what we think of as "possible." And this year's discoveries were no different! We present to you three scientific discoveries made this year that set out to...
