Malcolm and Stanley want to be astronauts. While waiting
for that big call from NASA, they hone their space knowledge
and skills by reviewing important concepts. Join them in their
space suits, and learn about the Earth and space. This exciting
video series goes beyond the basics of Space Science for
Children. It covers topics in more depth including black
holes, light years, historical milestones in space exploration
and much more! Fascinating NASA footage and hands-on investigations
(ideal for science fair project ideas) will make learning about
space a real adventure.

What can you see in the night sky? Stars, planets, even a galaxy
or two! It’s all covered in Astronomy. Students will
learn about constellations, star movement and how scientists
have studied celestial bodies throughout history-from Ptolemy
and Copernicus to the work of the Hubble Space Telescope. Includes
an interview with Kathy Thornton, one of the astronauts who repaired
the Hubble while in orbit! Also includes a fun, hands-on activity
where students will build their own sextant, demonstrating how ancient
seafarers navigated using the movement of the stars. This program is
based on the concepts outlined in the National Science Education
Standards for Earth Science: Structure of the Earth System, Earth’s
History and Earth in the solar system.

The universe is incredible-but the Earth is unique! In this
fun and informative program, students will learn that, despite
the vastness of outer space, Earth is the only place where we
know life exists. Earth explains why our planet is so
special. Students will learn about the factors that allow life
to flourish on Earth, including our position in the solar system,
the water cycle and the composition of the planet. This program
includes a visit to the real Biosphere2 in Arizona, as well as a
fun, hands-on activity that will give students a basic understanding
of the Earth’s water cycle. This program is based on the concepts
outlined in the National Science Education Standards for Earth
Science: Structure of the Earth System, Earth’s History and Earth
in the solar system.

It protects us from meteoroids and ultraviolet rays, and provides
us with the air we breathe. In Earth’s Atmosphere, students
will learn about the layers of our atmosphere and why each is important
to the survival of life on our planet. They’ll also discover why the
atmosphere is responsible for weather and see how special aircraft
actually fly into the severest weather of all-hurricanes! Atmospheric
pressure is covered and students will even build their own working
barometer in a fun, hands-on activity. This program is based on the
concepts outlined in the National Science Education Standards for Earth
Science: Structure of the Earth System, Earth’s History and Earth in
the solar system.

The Moon is Earth’s closest neighbor in space - the only other
member of our solar system that humans have actually visited.
This video answers key questions about the Moon, like: What keeps
it revolving around the Earth? Why do we see only one side of the
Moon? What is the origin of the Moon? Students will learn about
how the Moon has been studied throughout history-including recent
lunar missions-and about its phases, eclipses and how it causes
tides on Earth. A fun, hands-on activity will demonstrate the
effect of the Moon’s gravity on weight. This program is based on
the concepts outlined in the National Science Education Standards
for Earth Science: Structure of the Earth System, Earth’s History
and Earth in the solar system.

The Earth is one of nine planets that revolve around the Sun,
which is the center of our solar system. In Planets &
The Solar System, students will learn the key characteristics
of each planet, the difference between inner and outer planets
and which planets have their own moons. They’ll take a fascinating
look at how remote-control rovers are designed to explore other
surfaces in the solar system. Also, in a fun, hands-on activity,
students will demonstrate how gravity keeps all the members of the
solar system in orbit around the Sun. This program is based on the
concepts outlined in the National Science Education Standards for
Earth Science: Structure of the Earth System, Earth’s History and
Earth in the solar system.

There are many ways to explore space. In Space Exploration,
students will learn about the human quest to discover what’s
out there. Students will see the challenges and benefits of
space exploration, including the development of rocket science,
a look back at the ‘Space Race’ and a history of manned space
travel. A special section on the Saturn V rocket will give
students insight into the extraordinary measures taken to put
us on the Moon, including a fun, hands-on activity that will
let them build their own rocket-complete with fuel! This program
is based on the concepts outlined in the National Science
Education Standards for Earth Science: Structure of the Earth
System, Earth’s History and Earth in the solar system.

It seems impossible that we can really study stars. They all
seem so small and so far away-except for one. the Sun! Stars
will show students the many amazing ways scientists look at the stars
and how they can use what they see to answer questions like: What are
stars made of? How far away are they? How old are stars? Students
will learn about the life span of stars and the various stages they
pass through, from protostar to main sequence star to red giant and
eventually white and black dwarfs. A fun, hands-on activity will show
viewers how to build their own spectroscope, used to analyze starlight!
This program is based on the concepts outlined in the National Science
Education Standards for Earth Science: Structure of the Earth System,
Earth’s History and Earth in the solar system.

The Sun is the closest star to Earth. It provides heat and light
which makes life on Earth possible. Sun shows students what
this center of our solar system is all about - how big it is, what
it’s made of, how old it is and how long we believe it will continue
to burn. Students will examine the individual layers of the Sun and
learn about solar activity, including sunspots, solar flares and
prominences. They’ll also find out how scientists have studied the
Sun and even make their own pinhole viewer to measure the distance
to the Sun in a fun, hands-on activity. This program is based on
the concepts outlined in the National Science Education Standards
for Earth Science: Structure of the Earth System, Earth’s History
and Earth in the solar system. 23 minutes.
