Fossils are the preserved remains of an animal or plant in a rock. Many of the fossils discovered so far are the ancestors of organisms that are alive today. The study of fossils is called paleontology. Much of what we understand about evolution comes from studying fossils. When organisms die, t
The theory of evolution states that individuals within a species show wide degrees of variation, and those individuals with characteristics best suited to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce. This theory grew from studying the variations and similarities in living animals and
How are fossils actually formed? And why are they formed in some places and not in others? Author: ZDF/Terra X/Spiegel TV/Jens Nicolai/Oliver Roetz/Hauke Ketelsen/Richard Sako Translation and dubbing: alugha Click here to see more videos: https://alugha.com/TerraX
In this video excerpt from NOVA scienceNOW, learn about the potential energy contained in food. Correspondent and technology columnist David Pogue explores how a rat is digested by a snake and how food fuels the body. Scientist Stephen Secor demonstrates how to measure the amount of energy stored in
Climate-damaging LNG production in Canada by means of German financial guarantees Germany has now finally decided to phase out coal for 2038 - much too late, as climate activists criticise. At the same time, however, it is this delayed and inadequate coal phase-out that is being used as an opportu

In this video segment from NOVA: "Judgment Day: Intelligent Design on Trial," paleontologist Neil Shubin recounts a fossil discovery that added another compelling piece to the body of evidence that supports evolution. Shubin's find of a well-preserved skeleton, a "fishapod," represents a transitiona

Learn the basics about carbon neutral and biofuels, as a part of environmental chemistry. Coal, oil, natural gas, shale gas and gas from fracking are fossil fuels formed hundreds of millions of years ago from living things that got trapped by layers of sediment before they had time to decompose. H
For around 200 years, humans have been a driver of climate change - fueling earth-warming processes through fossil fuels. Increased average annual temperatures are already leading to an increase in weather extremes worldwide. Author: 3sat/nano, mirror TV, Christine Voges, R. Engelke+S. Karm+F. Guts
Watch part 2 of the videos on the Carbon Cycle, as a part of environmental chemistry. Mankind has had an influence on the carbon cycle. The carbon dioxide released during respiration is cycled naturally. Same is the case if we burn wood and agricultural waste – even biogas given off from food we t
Fossils discovered within rocks led scientists to begin to change their ideas on the creation of life on earth. JOIN our platform at www.fuseschool.org This video is part of 'Chemistry for All' - a Chemistry Education project by our Charity Fuse Foundation - the organisation behind FuseSchool. The
