You are the future!
For grades 3-5 and grades 6-8, Dr. Exhaustus presents two age-appropriate versions of Our Changing Climate. The purpose of the program is to leave students with a basic understanding of the content elements and how they are all connected to the subject of climate change. The fact that many scientists disagree with the greenhouse theory is clearly acknowledged, and a couple of alternative theories are highlighted.
The goal is to encourage students and teachers to further discuss the various aspects of this topic in their classrooms, using critical thinking to arrive at their own personal conclusions. For grades K-2, the good doctor offers the 30-minute show "Helping Our Earth" –the perfect way to introduce little ones to the idea of taking care of our planet, without all the technical stuff.
BOTH PROGRAMS FEATURE:
• Large animatronic characters
• Stunning images projected on a big screen
• Exciting live-action animation
• Audience participation
• Interaction and a sense of humor
Both of these programs are entertaining and educational experiences for students, teachers, and parents! Both shows offer many straight-forward examples of how students can help the environment. While always maintaining the need too take the subject seriously, Dr. Exhaustus stresses the importance of a positive attitude, using simple humor to caution against panic.
