This is a sample from Rock N Learn Earth Science.\r
\r
Want an exciting way to learn important facts and get ready for an Earth science test? Marko the Pencil and his friend Terra take learners on a fascinating journey to Markos Super Science Station where its easy and fun to understand science concepts and boost test scores. This science video covers the Solar System, weather and the water cycle, types of rocks, properties of minerals, volcanoes and plate tectonics, weathering, and alternative energy. Meets the National Science Education Standards.\r
\r
Kevin is a fifth-grader who actually enjoys taking science tests because he knows the perfect way to become well prepared. Even difficult science concepts can be easy to grasp with clear explanations and animations. Marko, a humanoid pencil, has just the right tips to help Kevin understand science, have fun, and get ready for tests.\r
\r
Kevin is already waiting at Markos Super Science Station when he is joined by Marko and Terra, an animated globe who knows a thing or two about Earth science. As Terra explains, Earth science has a lot to do with understanding astronomy, geology, meteorology, and more. Kevin begins his science test preparation with the Solar System, learning about the Sun and the eight planets that orbit the Sun.\r
\r
Marko and Terra show Kevin an easy and entertaining way to remember the planets. Kevin soon learns all about the asteroid belt, dwarf planets, and comets. What happens in space affects things on Earth. Kevin gets a good grasp of how the Earth and the Sun interact to create day and night and cause the seasons.\r
\r
Kevin and his friends have lots more to explore, including exactly how the water cycle influences weather. He learns a catchy song about evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and accumulation. He finds out how changes in air pressure cause wind.\r
\r
In the Geology Learning Center, Kevin discovers different kinds of rocks and learns how they were formed. He learns that fossils give clues as to what the environment was like. Plus, he attends a cool rock concert performed by animated rocks: Sedimentary Sandstone, Igneous Granite, and Metamorphic Marble. After rocking out, Kevin is ready for an experiment involving mineralogy. He uses properties such as color, luster, hardness, and streak to identify an unknown mineral sample.\r
\r
Kevin next blasts off, compliments of a volcano, to the Topographic Learning Center. There, he finds out what caused changes in the Earths surface throughout time and learns about plate tectonics and the development of shield volcanoes, cinder cones, and stratovolcanoes. He also experiences weathering and erosion. Lots of humor keeps students laughing as they get a good foundation for the types of material they will find on an Earth science test. Animated examples help students understand sediment, erosion, glaciers, and deposition.\r
\r
Any Earth science adventure would be incomplete without a visit to the Energy and Resource Learning Center where Kevin explores different kinds of perpetual resources, including the Sun, the wind, geothermal energy, and the ocean. He learns about renewable and nonrenewable resources, along with the latest ways to conserve energy and use energy more efficiently.\r
\r
Finally, when students are ready, they can join Kevin, Marko, and Terra to take a practice Earth science test. Marko and Terra coach Kevin on how to remember what he has learned and apply his knowledge to scoring high on Earth science tests. Its a great review for all thats been learned.\r

This video is kid appealing and keeps children interested. It is exceptionally well planned and is amazingly informative without the children losing interest. The video was so interesting, not only to the children, but to the parents as well. It was fun to sit and get involved with the video and test our knowledge of what we knew now and what we never knew before. It was helpful and easy to understand for children of all ages. —Reviewer from iParenting Media Awards Best Products of new
