Dinosaurs in the Snow
Dinosaurs in the Snow. In this Dinosaur Train episode, the Pteranodon family visits the North Pole. They learn how snow is formed, that the North Pole is dark during the winter because the Earth is tilting away from the sun, and that many creatures live in the north pole and have adapted to it with features such as feathers.

Observe Precipitation
Observe Precipitation. Water that falls from the sky is called precipitation. As one aspect of weather, precipitation such as rain or snow can affect your daily life. However, it is also a vital step in the water cycle, returning water from the atmosphere back to Earth's surface. In this video segment produced for Teachers' Domain, observe three different types of precipitation — rain, hail, and snow.
This video is available in both English and Spanish audio, along with corresponding closed captions.
