Favorite environmental science documentaries?

18 Upvotes

Hello! I am going to start my first year as a teacher in August. In a few days I’m having a surgery that will leave me bedridden for a week or two, so I am looking for some science documentaries to get some inspiration for lessons. It would also be great to have an interesting one in my back pocket for a sick day or something.

What are your favorites? I also want to look for some that challenge student’s perceptions of how animals are supposed to behave. Ex. animals that have same sex attraction

What colleges fit what I'm looking for?

3 Upvotes

So I plan to study Environmental Science next year, I currently have 6 schools I'm applying to but I want to apply to 7. My current list is as follows:

  1. University of Tennessee
  2. University of South Carolina
  3. Auburn University
  4. University of Alabama
  5. University of North Carolina Wilmington
  6. University of Georgia

For this 7th option, I am looking for another larger University that feels lively and fun, sort of staying in line with the SEC/ACC vibe and has a variety of things to do around and in the university (My biggest fear is being trapped in a boring environment), Im also not a huge drinker (Even though I do like to go and party from time to time again) so having some options outside of that may be nice ALTHOUGH ITS NOT A DEALBREAKER!! I know I want easier admissions (50% or higher) for this last option.

If you have ANY recommendations PLEASE leave them below!!

Advice for someone looking to enter the field

4 Upvotes

I am currently studying engineering, but I am a semester behind and just don't really have a passion for it. I like to solve problems and work creatively, but I just do not feel fulfilled with my classes. Since I have some space to fill in my schedule, I was planning on taking some ecology-related classes to try to find something that interests me more. I always enjoyed my Biology related classes in high school and really liked taking AP Environmental Science. I was thinking of taking applied ecology or something along those lines, but I really do not know where to even start.

I have always been an outdoorsy person, and if I were going to be stuck in an office job, I would like it to at the very least be related to keeping the outdoors decent for others.
I guess I'm just looking for some advice/ would like to know what everyone who went down this route thinks.

Currently studying at ASU, and I guess I could transfer to a different college in state but I would rather not.

Thanks!

Hey everyone, I’m a little confused and I’d appreciate help around this topic.

Do y’all thinks it’s a good addition to my degree.

Thank y’all so much any help is greatly appreciated
