"This Earth Day, we’re celebrating something close to our hearts, engineers. Whether it’s a towering aspen or a tiny mushroom, nature has plenty to teach us. We're taking a look at six of our favorite outdoor innovators to see how we can follow their lead and treat the earth better."
Beth Dichter's insight:
For Earth Day this year Google has created a website "looking at some of our favorite engineers from nature to see how they can teach us to treat the environment better...see the beauty and ingenuity of the natural world through photos from National Geographic. We also want to provide easy ways to be greener in our own lives, so this site shows us how we can all be like those organisms by taking simple actions to care for the environment." (This quote is from Google's official blog.) The images are amazing and you can "visit" two sites, South Africa, home of the "smart eaters", more commonly referred to as elephants and the Great Barrier Reef, home to the "ride sharers", also known as remora fish.

Wow cooooooooooooooooooool. you have to see this. |
This video provides an amazing look at the Kilauea volcano located in Hawaii. You will "witness molten rock slowly burning down a dense wet rainforest" and "peer into a six-hundred-foot-wide lava lake at Kilauea's summit crater." The power of a volcano comes alive in this video and students may begin to ask questions based on the impact of the images.
