(4:05) In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina gives us a real world example of how the Hydrosphere and Geosphere affect each other in the form of Weathering and Erosion. Think of Weathering as the force that makes a mess and Erosion as the force that cleans it up.
(3:59) Did you know that glaciers are the largest sources of freshwater in the world, and they can be found on every continent except for Australia? But how are glaciers formed, and how do they change the landscapes around them? Come find out in this fun and educational video!
(6:06) Glacial Ice sculpted New York's Finger Lakes Region - In this video Google Earth serves as a virtual spaceborne camcorder to capture the dramatic effects of past glacial ice sheets on the landscape of New York's Finger Lakes region.

Ecology 4 - Living and Nonliving Things for Kids: Life Science for Children
3:38 We all know that some things are alive, and some things are NOT alive, but have you ever thought about what makes something alive or not alive? Living things are called organisms, and anything from a blue whale to a spot of mold can be a living organism! Believe it or not, there is some scientific disagreement about what exact characteristics make something living or nonliving, but the four criteria in this video will help you make the right call the majority of the time.
Ecology 4 - Characteristics of Living Things - What makes something alive?
3:38 Characteristics of Living Things
For an organism to be considered alive it must have all of these traits:
- Made of Cells * Grow and Develop * Contain DNA
- Reproduce and produce offspring * Respond to stimuli
- Require energy for daily activities * Have levels of organization

Examples and definitions of producers, consumers, and decomposers.
Ecology 4 - Fabulous Food Chains
3:24 Everyone eats, right? But how does that food get the energy to power you? In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina talks about the way energy moves, or flows, through an ecosystem and how that movement forms Food Chains!
Ecology 4 - Decomposers video
We've all been victimized by decomposers: Lettuce rots and bread becomes moldy. Bacteria and fungi often consume our food before we've had a chance to. However, if we stop to consider the important work that decomposers do, we may applaud their presence. This video segment from Interactive NOVA: Earth describes the role of decomposers in the living world.

Ecology - 4 Beneath the Waters of Cocos Island
Cocos Island, a remote volcanic summit in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, serves as a beacon for hungry predators, including thousands of hammerhead sharks that travel here each year in search of prey. This video segment from NOVA: Island of Sharks depicts some of the common predator-prey interactions that take place in the nutrient-rich waters surrounding the island.
Ecology 4 - Adaptations for Predators and Prey
3:43
Scroll down to Task Two
In a food chain, animals that are eaten by other animals are called prey. Animals that hunt and eat other animals are called predators. Watch this short video to see real life examples of predators and prey. As you watch, ask yourself:
Can an animal be both predator and prey?
