Hey, friends! Have you heard about Earth School? It's amazing and I've thoroughly enjoyed learning about it. My 14yo has just started it.
Earth School is a 30-day (not including weekends) interactive adventure through the natural world. Hosted on the TED-Ed website, a new "quest" is posted daily (five days a week). Each quest includes a video and lesson plan. The program was launched on Earth Day (April 22nd) and it runs through World Environment Day (June 5th). It focuses on nature and our relationship with or dependency on it.
Each week has a theme. They post on a 5-day week plan, so there are six weeks of content. The themes are:
- The Nature of Our Stuff
- The Nature of Society
- The Nature of Nature
- The Nature of Change
- The Nature of Individual Action
- The Nature of Collective Action
A partnership between the UN Environment Programme and TED-Ed, Earth School is FULL of amazing videos. Here's an example from Day 1...
TED Ed is alway high-quality education programming. So I trust them when it comes to my kids.
