This Earth: One Amazing Day (PG – 2017) Movie Guide explores the impact of the Sun on various habitats, from the Galapagos Islands to the Arctic. Students will examine how animals like Marine Iguanas and Sperm Whales adapt to their environments and how others, such as Narwhals and Bears, overcome environmental challenges. Discussions will cover the dependence of animals like Pandas and Zebras on their habitats and the effects of environmental changes. The guide encourages comparing animal parenting to human family dynamics and reflecting on the brief life of a Mayfly to appreciate life’s value. Lastly, students will debate the impact of human activities on wildlife and consider ways to promote coexistence and conservation, helping them understand nature’s interconnectedness and the importance of ecological awareness.
