HOW CAN WE FIND OUT WHAT PLANTS NEED TO SURVIVE? WITH CHRIS!

Love this. This is a superb educational film that is entertaining and fun to follow. It's designed perfectly for a young audience.

This entertaining and educational film is part of the Virtual Academy's environmentally - themed STEM series. This collection aims to help teachers engage students in STEM while sparking curiosity and care for the one planet we have to call home. Hydroponics Teacher Chris Anderson kicks off this film by embarking on a trip to Mars. Traveling to space makes Chris think about what she needs to bring to space to survive. Besides water and oxygen, Chris will need food; she decides to grow her own food using hydroponics on the spaceship to last her long journey. To learn how to do that, she launches an experiment with her friend Lucia to see what plants need to grow. In the end, Chris finds out that with a little bit of help, anyone can be a space farmer.

Beautifully produced short documentary using a live host with a puppet sidekick. Great camerawork; excellent audio; superb presentation. This is a great way to present information in an entertaining way. The host, Chris, is a bit stiff in her delivery, but her puppet Lucia makes up for that, being more animated and more childlike. The information presented is well grounded and the language is suitable for its audience.

The message is about what plants need to grow and thrive. I give How Can We Find Out What Plants Need to Survive? With Chris! 4.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 5 to 8, plus adults. By Julie S., KIDS FIRST!
