We are very dependent upon other life forms around us to survive. Here, scholars explore relationships in the ecosystem with the help of Auntie Litter and the pollution patrol. They imagine a world without grass, making connections to other life forms this would drastically effect. Pre-teach the vocabulary words here before learners watch Auntie Litter take on pollution and explain life cycles in a 15-minute podcast. This video emphasizes the motto, "We're All in it Together" to emphasize interdependence. Choose from several extension ideas to give this concept a cross-curricular spin. There are book suggestions, experiments, debate ideas, art project, science displays, and even a cooking activity!
