Be Connected to PBS:
NATURE Online is the award-winning Web companion to the broadcast series and is spearheading NATURE’s distribution to new media platforms. At NATURE Online, visitors can stream full episodes of NATURE programs, watch behind-the-scenes video exclusives with filmmakers and producers (also available at iTunes), view program excerpts (also available on YouTube), and find fun interactive content, teacher lesson plans, and more. Online social networkers can join the NATURE group at Facebook and keep up with the latest videos, photos, program alerts and more.
Recognizing NATURE’s vast potential as a learning resource, Thirteen produces educational materials available free of charge to every elementary and middle school teacher in America, all downloadable at www.pbs.org/nature. These include a Teacher’s Guide, classroom poster, DVD of select NATURE episodes, and take-home activities. A NATURE comic book for children ages 10 to 12, also free, is distributed through retail outlets, education centers and museums nationwide, including the American Museum of Natural History. Request a workshop for you and your colleagues (insert link to PD team contact info page) and receive some of these types of resources in hard copy.
For Educators… This section of the website offers video segments by episode, related articles and activities, downloads and a place to share your own stories connected to the show.
Consider downloading the NATURE Soundtrack Remixes to accompany your own NATURE original multimedia project.
Meet Executive Producer, Fred Kauffman, and see what he likes most about the show and the online resources and make plans to meet him in person at Arizona Science Center on November 6!
