Space out with Bill Nye to learn more about comets and meteors.

This four-part video series presents a detailed review of the important concepts in middle school earth science relating to Earth-Sun-Moon system, characteristics of the inner and outer planets, and fascinating highlights of the universe.

What is a planet? We live on one, but there are others. Are they all like Earth? Is there life on other planets? All About the Planets takes children on a tour of the solar system, explaining vital statistics about each - size, distance fro the Sun, temperature and why some are rocky and solid while others are made entirely of gases.

Includes 2 programs. Program 1: Seeing Is Believing (60 min.): Today we take for granted that the earth is round, that we orbit the sun. But these things are not obvious - our knowledge today is built on the foundation of hundreds of years of study. This program explores mathematics and how it revolutionized our view of the universe. Discusses Ptolemy, Newton, Einstein, and Hubble.

Includes 2 programs. Program 1: Cosmic Alchemy (60 min.) In the beginning, the universe started as a single point. Yet from this tiny beginning came all the matter that we can see around us today. How could pure energy become matter? Over the last century, a series of discoveries have shed light on our understanding of matter.
