Educators:
We have developed a wealth of follow-up activities for use in the classroom that go along with the shows. These can be downloaded as PDF files. Just go to the individual show page and you will find links to these files organized by grade level. For shows without associated activities, you can always watch the show from the archives. Follow the show links.
