BTN Classroom Science Week Episode 22, 2024 - Behind the News

Описание: This special episode of BTN will explore the 2024 Science Week theme, “Species Survival”.
Evolution and Biodiversity 🌏 Our planet is home to more than 8.7 million species of plants and animals. Cale goes to the museum to find out more about how life got so diverse. Mass Extinction 🦕 Since life on Earth began, many species have come and gone, and unfortunately, in the past few hundred years we've seen quite a few disappear. In fact, some scientists say we're in the middle of something called a mass extinction. Zoos and Conservation 🐼 Zoos have always been a place where people could go to see rare and endangered animals, but today, many of them also play an important role in conservation. Young Conservationist 🎤 We meet Alice, a member of South Australia’s Youth Environment council, and find out how young people can play a role in species survival. Naturalist Profiles 👤 We find out about the life and work of Charles Darwin, Mary Anning, Jane Goodall and Sir David Attenborough.
