Bill Nye the Science Guy: Biodiversity
Post Date: September 11, 2019
Resource Type:
  • Audio | Video
Description:

Bill Nye the Science Guy explores the subject of biodiversity in this episode of the Emmy Award-winning Disney Channel series, featuring an interactive question-and-answer format and hands-on activities.

The Earth's environment is actually made up of millions of different "environments" - individual ecosystems that support and sustain life all over the planet. Biodiversity is the broad range of living things that exist on the planet, including plants, animals and human beings. This episode demonstrates how much life is on Earth, describes the complexity of natural relationships, and stresses the need to preserve the biodiversity of the planet. In this episode, Bill sets up office in an ocean, a forest and a field to commune with nature, and shows what happens when one link falls out of nature's chain.
