00:37.633 --> 00:40.033 align:left position:12.5% line:71% size:77.5%

grade.

Katy: They're also designed to
get kids thinking about the

03:04.033 --> 03:07.133 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
outdoors and if possible going
into the outdoors.

03:07.166 --> 03:08.866 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
Instructor: Now that you'’ve
practiced your sea otter

03:08.900 --> 03:11.600 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
observing skills, it'’s time to
use them.

03:11.633 --> 03:15.400 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Have fun observing otter
spotters.

03:15.433 --> 03:17.266 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
Student: I see a dove!

03:17.300 --> 03:19.066 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Katy: Maybe they'’re going into
their backyard or if they don't

03:19.100 --> 03:20.866 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
have a backyard, maybe they're
taking a walk around our

03:20.900 --> 03:24.066 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
neighborhood and they're looking
for animals in that space,

03:24.100 --> 03:26.400 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
whether they be birds or ants or
anything.

03:26.433 --> 03:29.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And they're taking data on those
animals that they find.

03:29.733 --> 03:34.466 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
We'’re asking students to think
like scientists and do the same

03:34.500 --> 03:36.500 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
types of things scientists do.

03:36.533 --> 03:38.533 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Katy: Can you hold
up your illustrations

03:38.566 --> 03:40.800 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
so I can see what
you drew there?

03:40.833 --> 03:43.333 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
Oh! Naomi'’s got two views.
Whoo!

03:43.366 --> 03:44.533 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
Y'’all are some good scientific
illustrators.

03:44.566 --> 03:48.000 align:left position:12.5% line:71% size:77.5%
Rebecca: They really bring it
down to a very cohesive

03:48.033 --> 03:51.466 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
level for the students to maybe
be able to understand some

03:51.500 --> 03:57.833 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
 
pretty complex concepts about
science and conservation.

03:57.866 --> 03:59.966 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Katy: Climate change is
definitely a challenge.

04:00.000 --> 04:02.633 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
That'’s a challenge for animals
wherever they live, right?

04:02.666 --> 04:06.933 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
Rebecca: Conservation is
extremely important for I

04:06.966 --> 04:11.100 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
believe my students to learn
because they'’re really

04:11.133 --> 04:13.300 align:left position:35% line:89% size:55%
our legacy.

04:13.333 --> 04:17.533 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
TYLER: AND THAT MESSAGE IS
GETTING ACROSS TO STUDENTS

04:17.566 --> 04:20.166 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
Zack: If you just like sit
around and watching

04:20.200 --> 04:22.666 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
the ecosystem getting destroyed

04:22.700 --> 04:26.700 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
it just basically
destroys earth.

04:26.733 --> 04:29.400 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
Naomi: We were going to go on a
field trip to the Monterey Bay

04:29.433 --> 04:34.566 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
aquarium and like stay overnight
but since coronavirus came, we

04:34.600 --> 04:38.533 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
 
couldn'’t. So I liked that I get
to know how it is now.

04:38.566 --> 04:40.866 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
Katy: Does anybody know the
science name when we'’re talking

04:40.900 --> 04:43.266 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
about body parts and behaviors
that help someone survive

04:43.300 --> 04:45.433 align:left position:35% line:89% size:55%
in the wild?

04:45.466 --> 04:47.166 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
Student: Adaptations.

04:47.200 --> 04:49.833 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Katy: Adaptations!
Brilliant. Yes.

04:49.866 --> 04:52.900 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
Rebecca: I think the silver
lining in all of this is that

04:52.933 --> 05:00.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
it is empowering for students to
know that we can adapt and to be

05:00.733 --> 05:03.166 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
resilient, to be flexible.

05:03.200 --> 05:05.133 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
You know children will learn
that there'’s where there'’s a

05:05.166 --> 05:06.433 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
will, there'’s a way.

05:06.466 --> 05:10.433 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
And don'’t we want our students
to all have that idea that we

05:10.466 --> 05:11.633 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
don'’t give up?

05:11.666 --> 05:14.033 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
And that'’s really what science
is also also about.

05:14.066 --> 05:15.900 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
That we never give up.

05:15.933 --> 05:17.633 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Katy: We're all going through a
shared trauma right now.

05:17.666 --> 05:22.600 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
This is really difficult times
and what we know is connecting

05:22.633 --> 05:26.666 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
with animals and connecting with
nature makes us feel better.

05:26.700 --> 05:29.600 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And so, especially at this time,
if we can offer content that

05:29.633 --> 05:32.566 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
makes those students feel a
little bit better, that

05:32.600 --> 05:34.166 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
this is going to be okay.

05:34.200 --> 05:36.333 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
I think that'’s really important
right now.

05:36.366 --> 05:38.100 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Katy: Well it was great meeting
you all today.

05:38.133 --> 05:39.966 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
I hope you had a fun time.

05:40.000 --> 05:41.833 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Hopefully we will be open again
and soon and you will be able to

05:41.866 --> 05:44.200 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
come back and visit us.
Thank you so much.

05:44.233 --> 05:45.400 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
