Information covering important topics for today's educators and parents. This ten part series introduces students to the fundamental power of nature and its great forces that shaped our planet and determine how our planet functions. Each program in the series features natural history footage, computer animation, and time lapse sequences, which explain universal concepts and offer how life itself shaped on the dynamic earth. This video on the origin of our solar system explains how the earth turned into the familiar place we know now, and how the earth's magnetic field is formed by a layer of molten iron. It also shows how the heat from radioactivity drives many of the earth's geological processes including volcanic explosions, and how auroral displays are produced by the interaction of the solar wind and the earth's magnetic field.
Students learn that life's patterns have been shaped by the same forces that shaped the planet.
