In The Go Jetters Test a Stormy Weather Invention, the Go Jetters crew tests their invention to tackle stormy weather. They find hailstones inside a cumulonimbus thundercloud. Ubercorn shares funky facts about how hailstones are made and the damage they can do. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Go Jetters, a series that follows the adventures of four international heroes as they travel the globe visiting landmarks and solving environmental problems with Ubercorn, a disco-dancing unicorn.
In Saturn's Dramatic Weather, Professor Brian Cox explains how Saturn is able to maintain dramatic weather when it is so far from the Sun. Learn how the pressure on Saturn creates clouds, storms, and diamond rain. This video is excerpted from BBC’s The Planets, a series that explores the dramatic lives of the eight planets in our Solar System.

Get swept up in the drama of Earth’s extreme weather! This BBC video clip collection — featuring clips from Blue Planet, Blue Planet II, and other acclaimed BBC series — takes you into the heart of hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards, and more. Discover how these powerful forces shape our planet, challenge wildlife, and reveal the awe-inspiring power of nature.
A snowy week doesn't change the climate, but decades of patterns do. Explore the important difference between what happens in the atmosphere today and the trends that unfold over many years. Watch the BBC videos below, then take the Kahoot to test your knowledge.
Examine how weather describes short-term atmospheric conditions while climate reflects long-term patterns across regions and ecosystems. Learn about climate zones, seasonal trends, and the data scientists use to understand Earth's changing environment.
When nature unleashes its full power, the results can be extraordinary. Explore some of Earth's most intense weather events and discover the atmospheric conditions that fuel them. Watch the BBC videos below, then take the Kahoot to see what you've learned.
From hurricanes and flash floods to droughts and destructive windstorms, investigate the forces that drive extreme weather around the world. Learn how these events form, why they occur, and the impact they can have on people, ecosystems, and communities.
Every cloud, gust of wind, and raindrop has a story. Dive into the science behind weather and explore the forces that keep Earth's atmosphere constantly in motion. Watch the BBC videos linked below, then take the Kahoot to put your weather knowledge to the test.
Explore how solar heating, air pressure, humidity, and global wind patterns work together to shape the weather we experience every day. From the formation of clouds to the movement of storm systems, uncover the science behind Earth's ever-changing atmosphere.
In Weather Systems of the Globe, Sir David Attenborough describes air currents as they form Earth’s storms. Circle the globe to see hurricanes, sandstorms, monsoons, and tornadoes! This video is excerpted from BBC's Planet Earth, a breathtaking documentary series that highlights the natural wonders of our planet.
In The Andes in a Day, narrator Sir David Attenborough marvels at the longest mountain chain on the planet! Enjoy soaring views of the jagged peaks, and meet the hardy guanaco that endures unpredictable weather. This video is excerpted from BBC's Planet Earth, a breathtaking documentary series that highlights the natural wonders of our planet.
In The Mighty Power of the Ocean, narrator Sir David Attenborough explains how the ocean creates weather, how waves are created, and the impact of the currents in the world’s oceans. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Blue Planet, a definitive documentary series diving into the mysterious depths of the sea to discover the natural history of the world’s oceans and the rarely seen marine life that reside there.
In Neptune, Ice Giant, Professor Brian Cox explains how Neptune is unique because of its atmosphere, cold temperatures, weather, and wind speed. Learn how the pressure and lack of features on Neptune create the highest wind speeds in the Solar System. This video is excerpted from BBC’s The Planets, a series that explores the dramatic lives of the eight planets in our Solar System.
In Inside Planetary Storms, Professor Brian Cox explores the extreme weather conditions on Jupiter, a planet with an incredibly thick atmosphere that fuels its intense storms. Despite being far from the Sun, Jupiter’s storms are powered by immense surface pressure. This atmospheric pressure causes hydrogen gas to transform into a liquid, releasing vast amounts of energy and creating some of the most powerful storms in the Solar System. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Wonders of the Solar System, a spellbinding documentary series that explores the most extreme locations on Earth to explain how the laws of physics carved natural wonders across the Solar System.
