  Excite students' curiosity about the world around them by being the first educator to add the must-have PLANET EARTH Education Edition with Public Performance Rights to your library. Journey from the rain forests of Borneo to the peaks of the Himalayas to uncover the beauty and mystery of life on our planet. More than five years in the making, the series presents never-before-seen animal behaviors, startling views of locations captured by cameras for the first time, and an unprecedented look at Earth's creatures from biological and ecological perspectives. Teacher's guides and ancillary materials for three targeted grade bands (3-5, 6-8, and 9-12) connect essential concepts to topics in science, social studies, and the humanities, promoting critical thinking and developing a cross-curricular framework for instruction. Planet Earth poster art, curriculum matrix, and writing prompts included. New supplementary programs "Saving Species", "Into the Wilderness", and "Living Together" interweave key arguments from leading environmental commentators about what the future may hold for the world's most threatened plants, animals, and ecosystems. Running time 10 hours 12 minutes. Copyright 2007. Please note that there is a $18 shipping and handling charge for this title. |
