Students will learn about the different layers of the atmosphere. The changes in the atmosphere are explained using examples of contemporary environmental conditions brought about by human behavior. The oxygen cycle and the carbon cycle...

Researchers found water in the atmosphere of an exoplanet about 110 light-years away, and there's another rock from interstellar space flying through our solar system!

Take a deep breath. In a single intake of air, your lungs swell with roughly 25 sextillion molecules, ranging from days-old compounds, to those formed billions of years in the past. In fact, many of the molecules you're breathing were...

Refraction Set: 2. This clip explains the atmospheric refraction that includes mirages, rainbows and sunsets.

Learn the basics about the changes to our atmosphere, as a part of environmental chemistry.



The Earth’s early atmosphere had no oxygen. By examining rocks laid down over earth history we can piece together the...

There’s one kind of planet we’ve found more often than any other in the universe so far: mini-Neptunes. Now, some scientists think they’ve figured out why there are just so many of them.

What's the largest river on Earth? If you said "the Amazon".... you're only half right. Scientists have discovered an even bigger river in South America, and it's in the sky above the Amazon rainforest. Turns out, this sky river is the...

Permaculture Instructor Andrew millison explains how trees are connected to water in the atmosphere as well as water flowing through the landscape. This video articulates the amazing role that trees play to ecosystem and climate...

Space Clue: 203 Pompeja and 269 Justitia in the asteroid belt with evidence of being formed outside of it. But the real mystery is how they got there! And we again return to Ganymede with new evidence suggesting even more kinds of water...

You're on an airplane when you feel a sudden jolt. Outside your window nothing seems to be happening, yet the plane continues to rattle you and your fellow passengers as it passes through turbulent air in the atmosphere. What exactly is...

Students will learn about the different layers of the atmosphere. The changes in the atmosphere are explained using examples of contemporary environmental conditions brought about by human behavior. The oxygen cycle and the carbon cycle...

The video discusses the composition of air, specifically the gases nitrogen, oxygen, argon, and carbon dioxide. The presenter explains how these gases react with certain compounds and how they can be made from other substances. The video...

In this video Paul Andersen explains how the atmosphere surrounds the planet. The state of the atmosphere is climate and is affected by unequal heating, the Coriolis Effect, and the ocean. Convection cells and ENSO are discussed in...

SUMMARY:

To make most complex structures in the universe like trees, and us, you need more than atoms. You need molecules. How do you go from atoms formed in the core of stars, to molecules that can lead to living...

Observations of Jupiter's icy moon Europa from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have revealed the presence of persistent water vapor — but, mysteriously, only in one hemisphere.



Europa harbors a vast ocean underneath...

Pupil outcome: I can identify the part played by evaporation and condensation in the water cycle. Key learning points: - Water doesn’t leave Earth’s atmosphere. It moves around in what is called the water cycle. - Water evaporates from...

Upon viewing the Water, Water, Everywhere video series, students will be able to do the following: List some of the ways they use water everyday in their lives. Describe why water is important to plants and animals. Explain the...

Through photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide from the air and split it and use it (and water) to make carbohydrates. So surely plants can help us reduce carbon dioxide in the air? Possibly... But equally, the carbon in plants is...

What was proto-Earth like? How do Earth slowly form over time? Where were the first forms of life found on Earth?<br/>
Searching for Life in the Galaxy, Part 1

Our planet has a carbon problem -- if we don't start removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, we'll grow hotter, faster. Chemical engineer Jennifer Wilcox previews some amazing technology to scrub carbon from the air, using chemical...

In this video we visit some of the coldest, darkest places in our Solar System: craters in the polar regions of Ceres. Ceres is the largest asteroid in the asteroid belt. New images, taken by NASA’s Dawn spacecraft, reveal water ice...

Astronomers have used new and archival datasets from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope to uncover evidence of water vapor in the atmosphere of Jupiter’s moon Ganymede.

The vapor is present due to...

Launching in 2029, NASA’s Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigation of Noble gases, Chemistry and Imaging (DAVINCI) mission will bring a rich suite of instruments to Venus to address long standing questions...

Learn the basics about the natural greenhouse effect. The atmosphere helps to keep our planet warm by making it harder for the energy we get from the sun to escape back to the universe. Our atmosphere is held to the earth by the force of...
