The podcasts from WGBH were very colorful videos.I watched three because they were really interesting.My favorite was the energy on coral reefs.The video showed many of the coral reef dwelling animals.It showed how energy is transferred from the sun to the reef.The plants harvest the sun energy.Next the herbivores eat the plants.Then the omnivores eat the herbivores.Last the scavengers and decomposers continue the cycle.
This video cold be shown as part of a science lesson on coral reefs or suns energy or as part of food chain studies.The pictures were really good.As a teacher it is great to be able to show students things instead of just reading about it.Videos like this one can help students have a better understanding of information.This video had alot of information packed into a short amount of time.Time is also of great importance to teachers.There was another good video about the coral reef that could be shown in conjunction with this one.
