A rainforest’s ability to take a deep breath depends on a somewhat surprising factor—the age of its leaves.
In this silent video, view color-coded data which show how California’s trees were affected by drought in 2016.
Ecosystem-wide, is the Amazon storing or releasing more carbon dioxide? Watch this silent clip to view the data.
Plate Tectonics & Earthquakes
Evidence from fossils, glaciers, and complementary coastlines helps reveal how plates once fit together.
The inside of our planet is made primarily out of iron and nickel and dark, dense rock.
Learn about all the individual elements and forces that make up an earthquake.
Sequence: How Seasons Affect Producers and Consumers
In this video, learn how Earth’s rotation and the angle of sunlight interact to create different seasons.
Witness the influence of the sun on the seasonal abundance of plant matter produced on land and in our oceans.
Connections to Human Society
How is the development of human population centers linked to the development of agriculture?
This clip demonstrates global ship traffic over an eleven day period.
Real-time air traffic reveals travel patterns occurring on timescales far more rapid than species migration.
Teaching Tips
This toolkit provide ideas, strategies, and resources for incorporating infographics into science curricula.
The mission of the California Academy of Sciences is to explore, explain, and sustain life.
