Here are a couple of sites that should give you a few ideas and some things you could film. Hope it helps!

Your class mates may get bored looking at rocks, which seem very abstract. Therefore, why don't you base your project on how Earth science impacts their lives!
Photograph things in your everyday life and describe them. some ideas include
1) A car - A car contains many different metals, so you can discuss how those metals were deposited in the earth, and were then mined.
2) A wooden ruler - grown from timber that relies on the principles of sedimentology and soil
3) Gasoline - the decayed remnants of extinct organisms collected in sedimentary stone and trapped there by structural forces.
4) A cloud - evaporating water in deserts forms rose gypsum and other evaporite minerals, the falling rain is responsible for carving mountains.
5) Table salt - in parts of the world this has solidified from ancient oceans and is mined deep underground.
These are just some examples, but I enjoy seeing how our world interacts with us, science is never something abstract with little to do with our every day lives, even geology impacts people day to day more than they realise. Personally I would be quite inspired by a reminder of how Earth science affects my life, But then again, I am a professional geologist and I get excited by rocks...

You should do something on the ring of fire and talk about Mount St Helen's. Or if you really want something explosive try relating global warming to Krakatoa, a volcano located between Java and Sumatra in Indonesia. In August of 1883, after 200 years of dormancy, the island of Krakatoa disappeared and left a 300 meter deep hole in the sea. The noise was so great it was heard 5,000 km. Ash was blown 80 km high and landed 2,000 km away, darkening the sky for 2 days. Huge tsunamis 40 meters high drowned 35,000 people and destroyed 500 villages. The fine ash blown high in the atmosphere caused red sunsets in Europe and cooled the global temperature by .5 C for a few years. I'm sure that won't born your classmates. Good luck!!!!

ie. what's the stages of petroleum on the exterior of the earth now compared to 100, 2 hundred, three hundred, years in the past? what's the point of Mercury contained in the rivers, lakes, oceans, in each and every continent and what are the contributing factors? desire that enables.
