Project Details:
Zeke Darwin, 8th grade science teacher and viral TikTok educator (@zekedarwinscience), specializes in making complex scientific topics engaging and accessible. In partnership with The Colossal Foundation, he is helping build innovative education initiatives focused on de-extinction science, aiming to spark curiosity and understanding around genetics, conservation, and biotechnology.
What is de-extinction, and how could it help save the planet? In Introducing De-Extinction, Zeke Darwin unpacks the science behind de-extinction. Students will explore the consequences of extinction, the promise and complexity of de-extinction, and how de-extinction helps with modern conservation. The lesson invites critical thinking about both the potential and the difficulties of this groundbreaking science, while also offering a closer look at Colossal and its mission.
Perfect for enriching science education and sparking curiosity, this resource helps inspire young minds to explore the future of conservation. It also includes a full lesson plan with objectives, a viewing guide, and even hands-on activities, all designed for use with your students at home or in the classroom.
