Bill Nye The Science Guy on Rocks and Soil

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Rock the classroom with this hip video clip about dirt and rocks! Contents and the process of producing soil and sand are explained in the forest and on the beach. Time, pressure, and high temperatures are introduced as the requirements for creating metamorphic rock. Since you would most likely teach erosion and rock formation on different days, this might be best to show at the conclusion of your geology unit during a review session.
