Radium is a chemical element with the symbol Ra and atomic number 88. It is a alkaline earth metals.
Barium is a chemical element with the symbol Ba and atomic number 56. It is a soft, silvery alkaline earth metal.
Beryllium is a chemical element with the symbol Be and atomic number 4. It is a relatively rare element in the universe.
Magnesium is a chemical element with the symbol Mg and atomic number 12. It is a shiny gray solid alkaline earth metals.
Strontium is the chemical element with the symbol Sr and atomic number 38. An alkaline earth metal, strontium is a soft silver-white yellowish metallic element that is highly chemically reactive.
It is important to properly dispose of metals for the safety of people and the environment. Due to potential contamination problems, environmental programs focus on the recycling, reusing, and reducing of metals.

As shown on the History Channel. Gold dates from the time of the supernova explosion that gave birth to the building blocks of our solar system. When it was created, the Earth included a tiny percentage of gold atoms, and over the aeons geologic processes have concentrated it into various nooks and crannies around the globe. The best of it is in the ancient Precambrian rocks in South Africa, where the deepest mines in the world extract it. In other regions of the world, gold can be gathered from younger sedimentary rocks that have been eroded off older Precambrian rocks. The American gold rush was this type of deposit. Now in Nevada, sedimentary rocks are leached on a truly vast scale to extract the gold.
Host Peter Tonge visits the Weston Maple Sugar Project in Weston, Massachusetts. Shows the process of making maple syrup from tapping a maple sugar tree to boiling sap in a sugar shack. The second part of the program focuses on the basics of planning a garden in late winter. Also explains how to mix and apply liquid fertilizers. Originally aired as an episode of "The Good Green Earth."
Terbium is a chemical element with the symbol Tb and atomic number 65. It is a silvery-white, rare earth metal that is malleable, ductile, and soft enough to be cut with a knife.
Praseodymium is a chemical element with the symbol Pr and atomic number 59. It is traditionally considered to be one of the rare-earth metals.
Aluminium is a chemical element with the symbol Al and atomic number 13. It is a silvery-white, soft, non-magnetic and ductile metal. By mass, aluminium is the most abundant metal in the Earth's crust.
Yttrium is a chemical element with the symbol Y and atomic number 39. It is a silvery-metallic transition metal chemically similar to the lanthanides and has often been classified as a "rare-earth element".
Tungsten, or Wolfram, is a chemical element with the symbol W and atomic number 74. It is a rare metal found naturally on Earth almost exclusively combined with other elements in chemical compounds rather than alone.
Dysprosium is a chemical element with the symbol Dy and atomic number 66. It is a rare-earth element with a metallic silver luster.
Learning to incorporate a variety of eco-friendly energy sources into businesses and homes will make Earth a better place to live. Students explore photovoltaics, the design behind wind turbine technology and the creative processes behind vehicles in the American Solar Car Race. Zero energy houses of the future will use many of these technologies to produce more energy than they consume. Renewable energy technologies are important for the future of our planet.
In Miki, Japan, a six-story wooden model condominium was shaken by the equivalent of a 7.5 magnitude earthquake. The test was said to be the largest simulated earthquake ever attempted with a wooden structure. The full-scale building sat on a metal shake table that rocked it violently back and forth. The table, designed to hold up to 2.5 million pounds, reproduced forces based on those recorded during the 1994 earthquake in Northridge, California. But, it was scaled up by 180 percent to simulate an earthquake so violent it would only occur an average of once every 2,500 years. Part of the "Science Nation" series.
Neodymium is a chemical element with the symbol Nd and atomic number 60. It is a rare-earth element. It is a hard, slightly malleable silvery metal that quickly tarnishes in air and moisture.
Gadolinium is a chemical element with the symbol Gd and atomic number 64. Gadolinium is a silvery-white metal when oxidation is removed. It is only slightly malleable and is a ductile rare-earth element.
Did you know that cars can be recycled. In this episode, Joel witnesses the massive power of the car crusher and learns how the different parts of cars can be reused. Part of the Curiosity Quest Series.
