    This was a good video to show the impacts of a nuclear disaster. I use this video to show several major concepts. The dangers of nuclear power, if not maintained, as well as ecological succession. Class discussion will follows on what will happen in the future to this site as well as to the plants and animals that live and feed in Chernobyl.

    This is a good activity to use before and after students go to a stream to assess the macro-invertebrates and their toleration levels. I find this resource beneficial when discussion water quality and ecology. If you are able to take students to a stream, this could be used as an introduction to what they can see. If a stream is not available, then this can be used to teach students what is in a stream and what they can tolerate.

    This is an excellent demonstration for soil erosion. Soil erosion can be a difficult concept for students to understand. This visual demonstration allows students to see and experience erosion and various erosion factors. Follow-up designs could entail how to reduce erosion and design experiments for the ideas.

    I find this a teaching tool for endangered species with discussion following about the effects of DDT on Eagles. I will show the Eagle pairs beginning in Feburary and weekly until the "babies" fly from the nest. We will also have discussions if the eggs do not hatch and why that happened.

This is a powerful way to connect several concepts that are difficult understand how they impact one another.

    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!
