The Moon. We see it almost every night in the sky – but how much do we know about it? And why does it constantly change appearance? This incredible Miniclip animates all the phases of the Moon, including waxing, waning, full Moon, and new Moon, as well as gibbous, quarter, and crescent. Students will also discover that the Moon reflects light instead of generating it, and that it orbits around Earth as our only natural satellite! Show Less

The water that we drink today is the same water that the dinosaurs swam in and that people of ancient civilisations drank – and it’s all because of the wonderful water cycle! This Miniclip illustrates the stages involved in the water cycle, how they are reflected in the states of matter, and how we see each phase occurring in our everyday lives. Students will learn about evaporation, condensation, and precipitation, as well as the renewable nature of this natural resource. Show Less

Rocks and minerals have been around since before human beings existed. Since the origins of the human race, we have used them in many diverse ways - from construction to jewelry. But where do they come from? How do they form? And what is the difference between a rock and a mineral? This video explains that we live on a planet compost of rocks. Students will learn the difference between minerals and rocks, they will discover the different types of rocks and how they are formed in the cycle of the rocks. Show Less

This video explains what a comet is, how they appear from earth and space. The video also describes how comets are formed and how they behave in outer space, and how the differ from other key astronomical objects. The video also shows the key features of comets. Show Less
