![]() ![]() Students will use the scientific methodto investigate and understand two physical principles (bradycardia or a lowered heart rate and myoglobin storage) involved in a dolphin’s deep-diving adaptations. How, where and why do we search for extraterrestrial life? What is the importance of water for life? How do planets form? Are we alone in the universe? More discussion questions can be found in the activity sheet. Watch as she explains this out-of-this-world concept and get inspired to become a planet hunter yourself! (6:30 minute) This activity also includes discussion questions prior to watching the film to establish common knowledge about Biology, Astrobiology, and the study of extraterrestrial life.Įxploratory Video – TED Talk with Lisa KalteneggerĪstrobiologist and star of the film, Lisa Kaltenegger delivers a down-to-earth TED Talk about how she conducts her science searching for planets in our universe that show signs that they could contain life. Students will explore the main ideas about the nature of life, its basic requirements and where it might be foundboth on our planet and elsewhere in the universe, as seen in the film. The Search for Life in Space 32-Minute FilmĪre We Alone in the Universe Hands-on Activity How can rock layers tell time? How can we know what happened on Earth when that layer was formed? What could future rock layers look like? More discussion questions can be found in the activity sheet. How were these layers formed? What is the oldest? What types of erosion could have caused how they look today? (3 minutes) As the bikers ride across the landscape, notice the rock formations and sedimentary layers. National Parks Adventure takes audiences into the Utah desert and shows a perspective like no other. ![]() Students discover the topics of stratigraphy, geography and relative dating using found materials and stack their own geological layers. In this activity, students will make models of a section of the earth and practice identifying the age of the rock layers relative to each other. In the film, we see tall rock formations in Bryce Canyon National Park called “hoodoos.” The processes of erosion have revealed ancient layers of stone in the hoodoos. End your program with a quiz to test your students knowledge and growth. What were the results? If you tried again what changes did you make and why? How can you keep improving your light? More discussion questions can be found in the activity sheet. See the difference daylighting can makein a Philippine settlement. Global Impact Video – Philippines: Plastic Bottles Go Solar The activity PDF includes full instructions questions, topics, and adaptations for younger and older grades.Įducational Video – Lean and Green: Engineering Alternative EnergyĮngineers are always looking for ways to use renewable energy sources such as the sun and wind. The challenge: how to bring sunlight inside by using water-filled plastic bottles. Now students can experiment with ways to make similar devices to light the homes of those in need. In Dream Big, we see ways that engineers are sparking light without the need for electricity. ![]() What were the results? If you tried again what changes did you make and why? How can you keep improving your tower? More discussion questions can be found in the activity sheet. (5 minutes)įun Fact Video- Twists and Turns of the Shanghai Towerĭiscover the fun facts about the design of this 128-story tall building. (1 minute) Meet the engineer who designed the Shanghai Tower and used wind testing to create a twist in the design of the world’s second tallest building. (6 minutes)Įducational Video – Holding Sway: Wind Engineering Watch this educator-led videowith your students for step-by-step instructions and curriculum tie-ins. The activity PDF includes full instructions questions, topics, and adaptations for younger and older grades. Now your students can test their abilities with the same activity designing a paper skyscraper that can hold up in the wind. In the film Dream Big, kids are seen building a paper tower as they explore wind engineering.
