Everyday, real-life examples demonstrate the processes of weathering and erosion. Easy-to-understand examples of weathering help students differentiate between the processes of mechanical and chemical weathering. Footage of weathering and erosion processes help students grasp how each process alters the environment. Important terminology includes: mechanical weathering, landslides, abrasion, freezing, thawing, chemical weathering, oxidation, acid rain, moving water, wind, and glaciers.

Viewers take a trip above the Earth’s atmosphere to learn about weather around the world. Students will come to understand the relationship between water, air, heat, and weather. The terms atmosphere, condensation, evaporation, and precipitation are explained through animated diagrams. This program also discusses meteorologists and the instruments they use to predict weather. Part of the Real World Science series.
Climate is what you expect, and weather is what you get. Climate is about long-term records, trends, and averages; weather is about day-to-day experiences. Introduces us to the basics and science of meteorology from its earliest theoretical and observational development to the invention of equipment (the thermometer, barometer, and hygrometer) that led to meteorology becoming a science.
Unpredictable, stormy weather is a natural outcome of a warmer planet. As things heat, they become more volatile. From entire floating neighborhoods to massive harbor floodgates, cities around the world are trying to engineer their way to a safer future. Everything from farming to the insurance industry to building codes will have to change.
This video explores the daily condition of the Earth's atmosphere, and the factors that influence and cause weather. Special emphasis is given to the global processes that generate weather patterns. Other topics covered include conduction, convection, radiation, thermometer, barometer, air pressure, winds, anemometer, sea breeze, land breeze, doldrums, trade winds, prevailing westerlies, polar easterlies, and jet streams.
Weather affects everyone's life. This program provides illuminating, live-action examples and explanations of different weather patterns around the world. Students will also learn the layers of the atmosphere and be able to explain the causes and effects of air currents and air pressure. Part of the "Way Cool Science" series.
In this video, students will learn about the two major types of weathering: mechanical and chemical. These forces alter the shape and composition of rocks. Students will also explore the different types of soils, soil properties, and soil profiles. Other topics covered include oxidation, soil formation, soil texture, horizons, leaching, subsoil, soil conservation, and groundwater.
At first, the back room of plant physiologist Edgar Spalding's lab at the University of Wisconsin-Madison might be mistaken for an alien space ship set straight out of a Hollywood movie. It's a room bathed in low-red light with camera lenses pointing at strange looking entities encased in Petri dishes. A closer inspection reveals the Petri dishes contain nothing alien at all, but rather very down-to-earth corn seedlings. They're grown in red light for optimal growth. They're just one of the plants featured in thousands of time-lapse movies Spalding has created over the past five years. The goal is to figure out how to grow crops optimally.
Dr. Randall Hughes is conducting an experiment into how well black mangrove propagules from both local and south Florida trees grow in Saint Joseph Bay. Following a harsh winter, she is able to more thoroughly test the survivorship of black mangroves in northern Gulf marshes. Part of the series In "The Grass, On The Reef."
For nearly a decade, with support from the National Science Foundation, Doppler on Wheels (DOW) has been doing its best work in dangerous weather to gather scientific data about wind, rain, and snow. Meteorologist Josh Wurman and his team at the Center for Severe Weather Research in Boulder, Colorado coordinate a fleet of storm-chasing vehicles from a compact control room inside one of the DOW trucks. From thunderstorms to blizzards, hurricanes to tornadoes, DOW is providing extensive and detailed information that may ultimately improve warning systems and weather prediction. Part of the National Science Foundation Series “Science Nation.”
Students will explore the climates of the world and learn how weather, landforms, and location affect climate in various places. Part of the Real World Science series.
This segment is all about climate and the role of water and wind. Climate is the statistics of weather over long periods of time. Other topics covered include atmosphere, oceans, and weather. Part of the "Earth Science" series.
Tornadoes, the most violent weather phenomena on earth, can occur anywhere in the world. Most, however, happen in the United States in "tornado alley," the states of Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. Briefly relates the weather conditions necessary to produce tornadoes. Ride with storm chasers as they pursue these violent storms. Eyewitness accounts, time-lapse photography, and film footage capture the destructive power of tornadoes.
The Magic School Bus is an award winning animated children’s television series based on the book series of the same title by Joanna Cole and Bruce Degen. It is notable for its use of celebrity talent and being both highly entertaining and educational. Ms. Frizzle transforms the bus into a weather mobile, so Ralphie can become the meteorological superhero of his dreams. This leads the class on the field trip to make a thunderstorm.
Presents the relationships between climates and biomes and climates and people. Also, describes the six major climate types, and shows how weather extremes play a major role in each climate type.
Learn about the difference between weather and climate. Students investigate how glaciers are formed and where they are located. Part of the "Ice Cores: Unlocking Past Climates" series.
Part of a series that features a wide variety of video footage, photographs, diagrams and colorful, animated graphics and labels. For this particular video, students will focus on the weather conditions needed to spawn tornados. Part of the Science Video Vocab Series.
Often hard-to-understand concepts of air, gases, air pressure, and layers of the atmosphere are plainly explained in this video. Concepts and terminology: oxygen, nitrogen, layers, weather, jet stream, and northern lights.
Host Trace Dominguez discusses the current trends in the number of hurricanes and their strength. He examines weather data collected since 1880 coupled with new models created by NASA. According to the data and weather models, hurricanes are becoming more intense.
The inventions of the 1960s were all about transforming science fiction into fact. Robots, satellites and a trip to the moon help make what was once only fantasy, become a reality. Featured inventions include: the Lunar Lander, weather satellites, video game consoles, Tasers, and industrial robots.
