Snack-Sized Science: Urban Gardening

EarthEcho invites you to play along with us during “Snack-Sized Science”. These brief and interactive science demos with the EarthEcho team are meant to help your young-learners get excited to investigate the fascinating world of SCIENCE and hopefully explore more of EarthEcho’s digital resources...maybe even on their own! Join Philippe and Ashlan Cousteau to learn how to compost and create an urban garden! Kitchen scraps, soil, seeds, and eggshells are all you need to start your very own garden at home. Philippe and Ashlan share their recommendations and best tips to grow your own healthy, sustainable food!

Join us to make your very own plantable seed paper! These are great gifts for any occasion, especially Earth Day. What will your paper sprout when you plant it?

Snack-Sized Science: Wading Into Water Quality!

EarthEcho invites you to play along with us during “Snack-Sized Science”. These brief and interactive science demos with the EarthEcho team are meant to help your young-learners get excited to investigate the fascinating world of SCIENCE and hopefully explore more of EarthEcho’s digital resources...maybe even on their own! Join EarthEcho as we explore water quality and why it is important to monitor the health of surface water bodies such as streams, rivers, and lakes. We will demonstrate how to monitor water with the EarthEcho Water Challenge test kit. Go further by submitting your results to EarthEcho’s Water Challenge at www.monitorwater.org.

Bio-Bloques Diseño STEM de Hábitat de Peces

Por décadas, las poblaciones mundiales han emigrado cada vez más hacia las regiones costeras. Esta colonización de la costa por parte de los seres humanos ha dado como resultado que grandes áreas de lo que antes eran litorales rocosos, marismas salobres y ciénagas se convirtieran en un entorno alterado y construido para las personas. Además, con el constante aumento del nivel del mar, se están implementando defensas costeras para proteger a los pueblos y ciudades del agua de los océanos. Estas defensas están reemplazando los hábitats naturales que juegan un papel vital en el ciclo de vida de los peces, incluyendo: lugares de desove, criaderos y fuentes de alimento planctónico. Lo cual a su vez está afectando las poblaciones de peces en los océanos. Durante la última expedición de EarthEcho, Pesca sostenible: Desafío entre redes el equipo se reunió con la Dra. Louise Firth, profesora de Ecología Marina en la Universidad de Plymouth. Su estudio investiga maneras en las que podemos hacer espacio para la naturaleza en entornos dominados por humanos. En esta lección, los estudiantes obtendrán un entendimiento básico de la idea de que los hábitats específicos son esenciales en el ciclo de vida de algunas especies. Los estudiantes trabajarán a través del proceso de diseño en la ingeniería para construir una solución tipo “bio-bloque” que produzca un rompeolas que sea al mismo tiempo más amigable con la naturaleza y que proteja la costa contra inundaciones.

Snack-Sized Science: Backyard Biodiversity

EarthEcho invites you to play along with us during “Snack-Sized Science”. These 15-minute interactive science demos with the EarthEcho team are meant to help your young-learners get excited to investigate the fascinating world of SCIENCE and hopefully explore more of EarthEcho’s digital resources...maybe even on their own! Join EarthEcho as we dive into biodiversity! Explore your neighborhood, backyard or even your home to find what kind of biodiversity lives in your world. During this session, participants will learn how to bring biodiversity to them by building backyard bird feeders and baths. We suggest downloading the iNaturalist app to help you identify species you find AND to become a citizen scientist. Keep exploring!
