In Flotsam Can Become Its Own Floating Ecosystem, narrator Sir David Attenborough describes how flotsam can become its own floating ecosystem. Fish come to the flotsam for protection, food, and cleaning. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Blue Planet, a definitive documentary series diving into the mysterious depths of the sea to discover the natural history of the world’s oceans and the rarely seen marine life that reside there.
In The Go Jetters Explore the Floating Islands of Lake Titicaca!, the Go Jetters crew visits Lake Titicaca in South America, the biggest lake on that continent, and discovers floating islands made of reeds! The Uros people live on these islands, which they build from reeds, and they also use the reeds to make boats, homes, and ropes. It's amazing how they use these plants for things they need every day! This video is excerpted from BBC’s Go Jetters, a series that follows the adventures of four plucky international heroes as they travel the globe visiting the world’s most famous landmarks with their friend and mentor, Ubercorn, a disco-dancing unicorn.
From brushing your teeth to packing the floaties, boring things are important! Try this lesson, which uses the Bluey episode "The Pool" as the kickoff to a classroom conversation about the importance of being prepared. The lesson includes printables for three activities in which kids go on a scavenger hunt to find everything they need to be successful for a day at school or the pool, complete a maze to match different objects to what Bluey should use them for, and figure out where Bluey and her family are going based on what they’ve packed.
The Pool Episode Summary: As they prepare for a trip to the pool, Bluey and Dad tease Mum about being fussy and over-prepared. But they soon find out the hard way that doing the boring things makes the fun stuff possible.
