RESOURCE	GRADE LEVEL	MEDIA TYPE
Antarctica: Sea Ice This video segment adapted from NOVA uses microwave images to reveal how sea ice doubles the size of Antarctica each winter. Rare footage shows how sea ice crushed the famous ship Endurance in 1914. Accessibility features: Caption	K-12	Video
Antarctic Ice: Sea Level Change What would happen if a portion of the Antarctic Ice Sheet were to melt? This video segment adapted from NOVA uses animations to show the effect of a 6-meter sea-level rise on coastal cities across the world. Accessibility features: Caption	6-12	Video
Arctic Climate System Learn how the Arctic is a part of a global climate system in this video segment adapted from the National Film Board of Canada. Accessibility features: Caption	6-12	Video
Coral Kid In this video segment, ZOOM guest Cassie takes us on a tour of the coral reef near her home in Key Largo, Florida, and points out some of its unique features. Accessibility features: Caption	K-8	Video
Deep-Sea Vents and Life's Origins Deep-sea vents are home to life forms that do not rely on the Sun's energy. They depend instead on energy from volcanoes on the ocean floor. This video segment adapted from NOVA hypothesizes that life on Earth may have begun in this extreme environment. Accessibility features: Audio Description, Caption, Transcript	3-12	Video
Earth as a System This visualization adapted from NASA maps progressive global changes onto a rotating globe. Earth's atmosphere, hydrosphere, geosphere, and biosphere are shown to be dynamic and interconnected. Accessibility features: Caption	6-12	Video
Earth's Cryosphere: Antarctica Learn about the different features of snow and ice in Antarctica using satellite imagery in this video segment adapted from NASA. Accessibility features: Caption	6-12	Video
The Fierce Humboldt Squid Historically, the Humboldt squid has roamed the waters of the Humboldt Current, ranging from the southernmost tip of South America to California. In this video from QUEST produced by KQED, find out how they have been able to survive and thrive in their expanding range. Accessibility features: Audio Description, Caption	5-12	Video
La Niña and Tornado Outbreaks This video excerpt from NOVA looks at how La Niña’s cool ocean temperatures may influence tornado outbreaks. Accessibility features: Caption, Transcript	6-12	Video
Ocean Temperatures and Climate Patterns This animation from The New Media Studio illustrates how the atmosphere and ocean together shape wind, current, and rainfall patterns in the tropical Pacific. Accessibility features: Caption	6-12	Video
Oil Spill: Exxon Valdez, 1989 This video segment adapted from NOVA follows the clean-up effort after the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill off the coast of Alaska.
