Biodiversity All Over the Place and I Can See Clearly Now
(Two separate educational video tools for K3 – K5; I Can See Clearly Now addresses clean air education and issues.)
“I was impressed by the air quality and biodiversity videos. They breathe vitality, humor, and real knowledge into subjects that usually stay veiled and distant, especially to children. Take a deep bow…”

“We use the video (Biodiversity All Over the Place) quite a lot as a pre-site activity for our 3rd grade field trip unit … We also use the air quality video (I Can See Clearly Now) as a pre-site for our 7th grade field trip. It is amazing how well the kids retain the concepts after viewing either of those videos. It really makes a big difference in the quality of the program if they haven't seen it.”
