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 ways at home in which we can protect our waterways through the use of environmentally friendly and chemical-free cleaners.

Join EarthEcho as we learn about the ways in which marine animals are adapted to survive in cold ocean water. In this activity, we will make a “blubber glove” to protect your hand from icy water!

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: pHabulous pHun with pH! Join us as have some fun with pH and make our own pH indicator! Get ready to play along with your own experiments as we guide you through this demonstration.

Join EarthEcho as we take flight into the wonderful world of bird beaks and adaptations! During this science demonstration, students will use different tools to learn about different bird beak adaptations and describe how these beaks are adapted to feed on different types of food found in different habitats.

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!

This calendar has been created by the EarthEcho International Youth Leadership Council. These youth, aged 16-22, designed this calendar to increase awareness and inspire behavior change to protect our collective future. The YLC invites you to use this calendar track and change your habits and, hopefully, provide monthly ideas to help you live a more sustainable, conscientious lifestyle.

The Sustainable Seafood Calendar and Cookbook was created by our Youth Leadership Council. The council is comprised of youth ages 16-22 who have sought to spread awareness about the importance of sustainability in our daily lives; specifically what we choose to eat. This eco-conscious calendar is a great download for your workspace, classroom, home or office for the next year. This calendar has been released in support of our Expedition: What's the Catch? which highlights sustainable fishing in the UK.

Approximately 600,000 sea birds die each year by getting caught on hooks used in line fishing. Twenty-three species of sea birds facing extinction are vulnerable to these methods of fishing. A device called the Hookpod, invented by a UK company in Devon, has a clever solution to this problem. The fish hook is designed to reduce birds being caught on hooks, learn more about bycatch and the engineering of this device during our live 45-minute event, Friday, February 14th at 9 a.m. EST.
