Video of infographics of wealth in America.

Three nice videos..manta rays, underwater volcano and a WWII wreck dive

Awesome correlation to the Village of 100 (or 1000) idea for environmental science!!

Nice parody with good information for garbage unit.

Short video showing the unexpected connection of reintroducing wolves and riparian restoration.

CNN's Nick Paton Walsh travels to Midway Atoll in the Pacific Ocean to investigate how the plastic we throw away everyday enters the food chain and possibly, our bodies.

short video Sir David Attenborough narrates the extraordinary history of the Montreal Protocol to raise awareness of the 28th Meeting of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol in Kigali, Rwanda, and efforts to control powerful global warming chemicals hydrofluorocarbons - HFCs - under the Protocol. Reducing HFCs under the Montreal Protocol can avoid 0.5°C of global warming by the end of the century, while continuing to protect the ozone layer.

An amazing look at social behavior on a global scale and the culture of capitalism / contest. Could be a great connection to the goldfish tragedy of the commons activity

This study could work as a follow-up to immigration / emigration island biodiversity / biogeography topics. I would look up the original work through the Nebraska state museums. Dawkins has a lot of good short videos, but be careful to watch them ahead of time for his rather common aggressive social statements that might cause parent issues.

Part 2.

I show this documentary (around 27 min. in for the Buffalo Creek Mine dam disaster), when discussing nonrenewable energy, dams and the impact of chemicals on the environment.

Coal seam has been burning for 53 years!! Good when discussing Fossil Fuels. There are several shorter clips if you have time constraints.

lastic. It's super useful but it's also a big problem for the environment. Enough plastic is thrown away every year to circle the earth four times! The main issue is that plastic doesn't biodegrade, meaning it sticks around for a very long time. This video gives a quick overview of the scope of the plastic problem and what some people are doing to try to solve it. .

Part 3. The ending is disturbing to my students, they realize how we can never clean up this mess... we must stop using the plastic. They all start bring stainless water containers to class from this point. No more plastic water bottles in class!!

Caution!! Foul language alert!! I really like the science in this video.. This ship captain has been visiting this part of the ocean for 30 plus years, so, I like the visuals and his input. The scientist on board is also very good. However, I get release forms signed by parents before showing these videos because the language is offensive to me. My students say it's not a big deal. I still mute the really foul parts :) An eye opener about plastic!

This is one of a huge and diverse series of short, animated and slightly sarcastic science videos by the Kurzgesagt group. They are active and post a new one about once a week. The nuclear power series of videos is also excellent.
