From Beneath the Ashes
Using the From Beneath the Ashes Video
Introduce the activity to your students by showing the From Beneath the
Ashes video. Afterward, take the opportunity to discuss the students'
reactions to the events at Yellowstone and complete the hands-on discovery
activity, Sprouting Life. The concept of human interaction with the
environment is reinforced in the video and in the activity. Allow the students
to make their own connections as much as possible. Repeated viewings of
the video, or selected portions of the video, are recommended.
The video length is 27:51.
