Welcome to Earth School! Embark on 30 adventures – or Quests – that will help you understand and celebrate our natural world, while learning about how dependent we are on our planet. Now more than ever, we need to protect, nurture and care for Earth – so join us to learn something amazing in every quest. Within each lesson, you’ll find fascinating resources compiled by Earth experts and ideas for getting involved in ways that count. Join us to learn more, create, act and share your journey towards a cleaner and greener life.

Here are the first two episodes

 Week 1 The Nature of Our Stuff 

 You’re likely wearing a shirt made from seeds, using a device made from rocks and the last meal you ate? It was probably made by bees. This week, we’ll learn how all the stuff we need and use comes from the Earth. We’ll also explore some small changes we can make that have huge, positive impacts on our planet. 

 Week 2 The Nature of Society

Humans get most of the credit for life as we know it, but our economy, inventions and jobs were actually inspired by systems in nature. In our second week of Earth School, we’ll learn how the natural world shaped human society and put some of Nature’s best inventions to the test!
