Steve Trash Science: Messy Babies and Pollinators / Your Digital Footprint

Subject Area

Science

Digital Literacy and Computer Science

Grade(s)

K, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

Overview

Steve Trash teaches kids about science with fun and magic. The show is filmed in Alabama.

What are pollinators? What do they do? And how are they like messy babies? Then, see how every time you do something online you’re creating a digital footprint that can be tracked back to you. Steve Trash explains both with fun and magic.

Comments or Notes

In the first half of the video, students will learn how birds and bees help pollinate plants. Students can use this information to construct their own models of this process. In the second half of the video, students will learn how their online behavior leaves "digital footprints" that can be seen and tracked by others. Steve Trash provides students with tips to be good digital citizens.
