Take a journey through our cosmic neighborhood in this Kahoot! about the planets, moons, and fascinating features that make up the Solar System. From the rocky worlds closest to the Sun to the icy giants at its outer reaches, discover what makes each planet unique.
This Kahoot! explores planetary traits, orbits, and the vast scale of the Solar System while uncovering the forces that keep an incredible collection of worlds moving through space.
Watch the Planets of Our Solar System playlist and the related videos linked below, then take the Kahoot! and see how much you know about the planets, moons, and other wonders of our Solar System.
Explore one of the solar system's greatest mysteries in this Kahoot! about Saturn's iconic rings and the discoveries that are changing what scientists thought they knew. From clues about their origins to evidence that they may be much younger than expected, discover why Saturn's rings continue to fascinate scientists.
This Kahoot! explores planetary science, space exploration, and the evidence researchers use to uncover the history of distant worlds while revealing surprising facts about one of the most recognizable features in our solar system.
Watch the BBC videos about Saturn's rings (below), then take the Kahoot! and see how much you know about Saturn's spectacular and ever-changing rings.
Explore the most powerful weather in the solar system in this Kahoot about planetary storms, extreme environments, and the forces that shape other worlds. From Jupiter's Great Red Spot to planet-wide dust storms on Mars, discover how weather behaves in places far different from Earth.
This Kahoot! explores winds, clouds, atmospheres, and storms across the solar system while revealing some of the largest and longest-lasting weather events ever observed.
Watch the Planets of Our Solar System playlist and related videos linked below, then take the Kahoot! and see how much you know about the extreme weather in our cosmic neighborhood.
Meet the extreme survivors. Penguins, giraffes, golden snub-nosed monkeys, Namaqua chameleons — these animals have evolved remarkable ways to endure some of the harshest conditions on Earth. We've put together a collection of BBC video clips all about extreme survivors (see Related Resources below). Watch them, then take the Kahoot! to see what stuck.
The adaptations are wide-ranging: penguins withstand sub-zero temperatures, giraffes manage naturally high blood pressure, snub-nosed monkeys huddle together to survive freezing nights, and Namaqua chameleons shift skin color to beat the heat of the day. Explore how these animals have adapted, body and behavior, to survive against the odds.
Meet the ocean's fiercest hunters. Orcas, tiger sharks, lionfish, piranhas — these predators have evolved sharp hunting tactics and sensory tricks that let them outmatch their prey in the wild. We've put together a collection of BBC video clips all about ocean predators (see Related Resources below). Watch them, then take the Kahoot! to see what stuck.
The tactics are specific and surprising: orcas and tiger sharks use specialized hunting methods, lionfish disorient prey before striking, and piranhas' reputation turns out to be more myth than fact. Explore how these predators have come to dominate their corner of the ocean, and pick up some solid grounding in marine ecosystems along the way.
In this lesson, students will collaborate to understand how marine life is affected by human actions. The Dive into this engaging lesson where your students will uncover how human actions affect marine life. Kick things off with a fun game of Three Truths and a Lie about the ocean to spark curiosity and get everyone talking. Then, break into small groups and tackle a jigsaw activity as students watch short, thought-provoking videos about ocean animals and human impact. Together, they’ll share insights, tackle discussion questions, and use their newfound knowledge to create eye-catching infographics. These creations will inspire others to take action and protect our incredible oceans!
In this lesson, your students will step into the shoes of Antarctic scientists! They'll dive into the fascinating world of Antarctic research stations and unique wildlife with video clips from BBC’s Seven Worlds, One Planet and Frozen Planet. After exploring the videos and researching more about this frozen continent, your students will write a creative journal entry from the perspective of a research scientist sharing their experiences in Antarctica. You’ll wrap up the lesson with a meaningful class discussion about why studying Antarctica matters and how the discoveries made there could shape our world.
Take your students on a research journey to Antarctica! In this lesson, students will become Antarctic scientists as they explore the continent’s unique wildlife using video clips from BBC’s Seven Worlds, One Planet and Frozen Planet. Students will watch the videos, then research an Antarctic animal of their choice. They will explore what is known about the animal, identify gaps in scientific knowledge, and suggest future research areas. Finally, students will present their findings in a class display to inspire others to learn more about this amazing environment!
In this activity, students will step into the boots of Antarctic research scientists as they uncover the secrets of penguin life! They’ll start by sharing what they already know about Antarctica before "traveling" there through a BBC Frozen Planet video, which will let them experience the continent up close. Then, each student will select a penguin species to research and they will use a BBC video from Seven Worlds, One Planet or Frozen Planet to gather their observations. Students will synthesize their notes as they create a research journal page, and they will then wrap up by discussing what new questions they’re curious to investigate next!
