In Florida’s Incredible Biodiversity, Florida’s unique geography and climate make it one of the United States’ most biodiverse places to visit. This video is excerpted from BBC's Natural World: Florida - America's Animal Paradise, a series displaying Florida’s diverse wildlife and its resilience against increasing environmental threats.
In Antarctica and Our Climate, geologist Iain Stewart explains how technology allows us to see the full geography of Antarctica, including lakes that are under ice and huge glaciers that cover islands of rock. Antarctica is formed because we are in an ice age that has lasted more than three million years, with small changes that have a large impact as ice advances and retreats over and over again. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Earth: The Power of the Planet, a documentary series in which Dr. Iain Stewart discovers how Earth's forces can shape nature, species, and even the climate.
In How Ice Provides a Reflective Shield on Earth, geologist Iain Stewart explains that ice is a unique substance. Because it floats and is reflective, it provides a reflective shield for the Earth and impacts how much energy is absorbed, which impacts the climate. The changing amounts of ice on the planet also impact how modern man has adapted. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Earth: The Power of the Planet, a documentary series in which Dr. Iain Stewart discovers how Earth's forces can shape nature, species, and even the climate.
In How Mountains Shape the Climate, narrator Sir David Attenborough takes in soaring views that reveal the extreme altitude of the Himalayas. These mountains are so high that they force the formation of clouds and monsoon rain and snow. This video is excerpted from BBC's Planet Earth, a breathtaking documentary series that highlights the natural wonders of our planet.
The article "10 Remarkable Desert Plants That Survive in the Harshest Places on Earth" from BBC's Discover Wildlife is an exploration of extraordinary plant species uniquely adapted to life in deserts. Highlighting everything from the ancient date palm to the fog-harvesting tara tree and water-storing saxaul, the article showcases the ways that desert flora thrive in places with extreme heat, dryness, or even cold.

Along the way, your class will discover what makes life “Down Under” so unique. These clips are perfect for sparking curiosity, inspiring questions, and bringing a little Aussie magic.
Take your class on an exciting journey through Florida’s amazing wildlife and habitats! This playlist explores the warm springs where manatees gather in winter and shows how dolphins team up in Florida Bay to catch their food in clever ways. Along the way, your students will discover what makes Florida’s ecosystems so special and why they’re worth protecting. These clips are perfect for sparking curiosity, starting great classroom discussions, and inspiring kids to think like young scientists and conservationists.
In Australia, Our Most Arid Continent, narrator Sir David Attenborough describes the Australian desert. In the Australian desert, the daytime temperature rises by 41°F (5°C) every hour. Learn how Australia is the world's most arid continent. This video is excerpted from BBC's Planet Earth, a breathtaking documentary series that highlights the natural wonders of our planet.
In How Iceland Is Addressing Climate Change, see how Iceland is home to one of the world’s first carbon collectors. This technology aims to reduce the amount of carbon in the atmosphere by capturing it and pumping it into the bedrock. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Climate Change - The Facts, a documentary that delves into the science of climate change and its far-reaching consequences.
In Climate Change and Its Effect on Species, discover the devastating impact of extreme heat in Australia on flying foxes. Thousands of these creatures died as a result of the intense heat waves caused by climate change. This phenomenon is a stark reminder of how rising temperatures are putting many species at risk of extinction. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Climate Change - The Facts, a documentary that delves into the science of climate change and its far-reaching consequences.
In Climate Change and Rising Sea Levels, learn how sea levels have risen by about 8 inches (20 cm) in the past 100 years, significantly affecting coastal communities. See the impacts on Isle de Jean Charles, Louisiana, where residents are being forced to relocate due to the rising waters. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Climate Change - The Facts, a documentary that delves into the science of climate change and its far-reaching consequences.
In Climate Change in Politics and Injustice, learn about the political, technological, and financial barriers to effectively addressing climate change. For decades, scientists have been aware of the dangers posed by greenhouse gases, but the challenge of tackling climate change has been compounded by misinformation, political obstacles, and a lack of global action.
