Basic Concepts in Science

Mass and Weight

What is the difference between mass and weight?


Matter

An introduction to matter.


Rocks

An introduction to rocks and the rock cycle.


Identifying Minerals

Using simple tests such as luster, hardness, and cleavage/fracture, you can identify most common minerals.


What is a Mineral?

Forget "animal, vegetable, or mineral?" The scientific definiton of a mineral is much more specific.


75% Water

75% of the Earth’s surface is water., but that only scratches the surface, as Robert dives into this deep subject.


Erosion

From the beaches of Florida to the mountains of California, learn how wind, water, ice and gravity can erode big rocks into smaller rocks, eventually turning them into soil.


Water Cycle

Have you ever really thought about the water cycle, about how old that glass of water really is, and all the places it has been?


Continuous Change

Just as we change as we age, the Earth changes too, wearing away in some places and building back up in others.


Fast and Slow Change

From earthquakes that last seconds to continental drift that takes millions of years, the Earth changes in many ways.


Recycle

With Americans producing 600,000 tons of garbage a day, it is important to look at what we throw away.
