In this video segment from NatureScene, explore Cartwheel Bay, a wetland in South Carolina, and learn about the variety of carnivorous plants native to this unique landform.
In this video adapted from Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, learn about carnivorous plants that act as both producers and consumers in an ecosystem. See sundews and blatterworts capture and digest insects.
Stars in the Universe come in a wide range of sizes and colors. In this lesson, students will use Visceral Science to observe stars to see how these properties affect the life a star lives!
Estimated time required: 1-2 class periods.
Technology required for this lesson: Augmented Reality, VR Headset (Optional).
This site has links to cave websites all over the United States.
This interactive resource adapted from the National Park Service presents the key concepts of cave and karst systems, including how and where they form, different types, and various cave environments.
Explore the autumn scene while learning math, literacy, and science at the same time! These fall-themed resources highlight ways to make traditional fall activities -- like visiting the apple orchard, going on nature hikes, and collecting colorful leaves -- educational. Use the creative ideas embedded in these videos, activities, and games to organize a fall festival and encourage students of all ages to develop an appreciation for the wonders of fall. This Collection includes: Video (35), Interactive (4), Media Gallery (16), Document (3), Interactive Lesson (2) for Grades All , Resources in Spanish (15).
