In this video the viewer will learn about sedimentary rocks. Phrases appear on the screen to highlight the words of the speaker. (01:44)
Sedimentary Rocks - by StudyJams
Sedimentary rock is naturally formed in the earth's crust. It is formed when sediment deposits form layers, compact, and then cement together, creating new rock. Sedimentary rocks are used for building materials, and sometimes they even contain fossils. Learn more about sedimentary rock with this slide show from StudyJams. Vibrant pictures are set to music with information written under each photo. A short, self-checking quiz is also included with this link.
Mining Minerals and Metals
In this video from the Science and Technology Chat series, elementary school students visit the McCaw School of Mines and take a tour of a demonstration mine. First, they learn how gold is extracted from sediment through panning. They also learn about structural safety features and the use of controlled explosions. Finally, they learn that Nevada mines contain large deposits of gypsum, which is used in many everyday items, including drywall. Run time 02:45.

Molecules in Liquid
As molecules in a solid get hotter, they vibrate faster and faster and eventually slip out of their lattice-work pattern. When this occurs, the substance melts, changing from a solid to a liquid state. Eureka was a series of short cartoons on physics that ran on public television in the 1980's. The video explains the concept in simple and well illustrated way. Good for students of any elementary school level.Â
