Promoting understanding of the Earth Science Week 2017 theme of "Earth and Human Activity," AGI has released its award-winning "Faces of Earth" series on YouTube in full High Definition allowing wider use in K-12 classrooms. From the cacophony that originated Earth 4.6 billion years ago to the changes that shape it today, AGI's "Faces of Earth" explores the natural processes of planet Earth - and humans' relation to those processes.

In "Assembling America," the third installment, viewers explore how time and natural forces have shaped the United States. Finally, in "A Human World," viewers learn how Earth has shaped human evolution and how humans, in turn, are shaping the world.
