Students learn that humans impact ecosystems (including food webs) in both positive and negative ways.

We often recycle plastic bottles but did you know you can also reuse/repurpose them? Join Bruce as the UNITE team shows you how to repurpose plastic bottles into a trash can or recycling bin giving these bottles another purpose.

Join us for our last Zoo Science as Bruce and Henry show you how to make your own traditional beehive. UNITE teachers and students build beehives not only for the honey but also to help make sure their crops get pollinated. Bees are critical for pollinating approximately 1/3 of the food we eat.

In this lesson, students learn about the meaning of the word "steward" and discuss choices they would make in given situations. They learn about the people who influence urban forests through an Old Maid-type card game. They also create their own knight's shield that shows why urban forests are important and what they can do to help them.

Healthy soil gives us many benefits, including nutritious food. During this video, I interview a local farmer to find out how he takes care of his soil. I also demonstrate an activity where students can try their hand at designing their own soil-friendly yard or green space, either at home or at school.

Students find out how people and animals affect each other as they work through the simulation, helping protect Loggerhead sea turtles and their habitat, so they can survive.

This game occurs inside the ecosystem of an estuary on the west coast of the United States. Following a young girl named Valerie, players interact with Oscar the sea otter, and the fictional Claminator, a geoduck clam. To succeed, players must learn about the factors that produce healthy estuaries, food webs, and why estuaries are essential to both ocean life and to humans.

Students will describe litter, explain how litter moves and its connection to water pollution. They will also identify ways humans can help improve the environment by preventing litter.

In this lesson, students learn about stewardship and how their choices affect the future of forests by participating in a mock school board meeting. Students role-play to learn about different perspectives on forest management.

We're celebrating the 50th anniversary of Earth Day by kicking off Earth Week! Join us and discover how your pollinator pods will help make a difference. Then let Untamed Science plant a seed and teach you why wildflowers and pollinators are so important!
