 PBS
Type: Audio/Video

Overview:

Steve Trash teaches kids about science with fun and magic. The show is filmed in Alabama.

What are pollinators? What do they do? And how are they like messy babies? Then, see how every time you do something online you’re creating a digital footprint that can be tracked back to you. Steve Trash explains both with fun and magic.

Content Standard(s):
Science
SC2015 (2015)
Grade: 2
6 ) Design and construct models to simulate how animals disperse seeds or pollinate plants (e.g., animals brushing fur against seed pods and seeds falling off in other areas, birds and bees extracting nectar from flowers and transferring pollen from one plant to another).*

NAEP Framework
NAEP Statement::
L4.3: Organisms interact and are interdependent in various ways, including providing food and shelter to one another. Organisms can survive only in environments in which their needs are met. Some interactions are beneficial; others are detrimental to the organism and other organisms.

NAEP Statement::
L4.7: Different kinds of organisms have characteristics that enable them to survive in different environments. Individuals of the same kind differ in their characteristics, and sometimes the differences give individuals an advantage in surviving and reproducing.

    In the first half of the video, students will learn how birds and bees help pollinate plants. Students can use this information to construct their own models of this process. In the second half of the video, students will learn how their online behavior leaves "digital footprints" that can be seen and tracked by others. Steve Trash provides students with tips to be good digital citizens.
