Their mission? To go deeper into the animal world than ever thought possible. From the hot and humid tropics to the freezing poles, the sequel to 2017’s popular Nature: Spy in the Wild miniseries places even more spy creatures in the middle of some of nature’s greatest events. Season 38 finale, Nature: Spy in the Wild 2, premieres nationwide Wednesdays, April 29 – May 20 at 8 p.m. on PBS (check local listings), pbs.org/spyinthewild and the PBS Video app. John Downer Productions created more than 50 realistic animatronic spy creatures for the new miniseries, including a gorilla, Komodo dragon, hummingbird, King penguin, Pygmy elephant, koala, quokka, seal and polar bear. Each spy creature looks like the animals they film and behaves like them too. Accepted by animal families, these robotic lookalikes can not only film from an intimate perspective but also interact with the animals, gaining revelatory insights into their worlds as they feed, breed and fight. The spy cams even go beyond the animal kingdom, using innovative camera technology that allows a spy turtle to lay robot eggs, a spy squirrel to gather robot nuts, monkeys to play with a spy snowball and more.

  • Chain Reaction
    Chain Reaction GRADE LEVEL : 9-11 TIME ALLOTMENT: Three 45-minute periods OVERVIEW: This inquiry-based lesson plan will challenge students to design and conduct scientifically valid experiments to evaluate hypotheses regarding an animal’s expected behavior in response to changes in its environment. Students will first view and analyze video segments from the NATURE film “Earth Navigators” as they begin to think about animal behavior as a response to stimulus in the environment. The video clips feature many different animal species reacting to changes in the environment by migrating from one part of the earth to another. Students will predict the reasons for these migrations and will determine the stimuli that actually trigger the animals to migrate. Following the video exploration, students will conduct reading and research to learn about isopods (commonly known as pill bugs or roly polies). The students will use the information they gather to formulate research questions having to do with the isopods’ expected response to environmental stimulus. The students will design experiments that can be conducted in the classroom to test their hypotheses. They will conduct the student-designed experiments, collecting data and reporting their findings and conclusions. They will also make suggestions for future improvements in the experimental protocol. SUBJECT MATTER: Living Environment/Biology LEARNING OBJECTIVES : Students will be able to: • Draw connections between the migratory behavior of different animals and seasonal changes on Earth; • Describe migration as an instance of behavioral response to stimulus; • Using anatomical and environmental information, create a research question about an isopod’s behavior in response to environmental stimulus; • Create a hypothesis that addresses the research question; • Design and conduct an experiment to evaluate the hypothesis; • Collect data from the experiment, describe results, and evaluate conclusions.

  • Pbs Indies Release 5-8-12 Final Embargo
    EMBARGOED UNTIL 3:00 PM ET ON MAY 9, 2012 PBS, ITVS AND POV UNVEIL STRATEGY FOR MISSION-FOCUSED CONTENT AND NEW BROADCAST NIGHT FOR LANDMARK INDIE SERIES ARLINGTON, VA, May 9, 2012 - PBS, ITVS and POV today announced a new strategy to bolster the mission-focused, independently produced content centered largely around its landmark series POV and Independent Lens, which together provide a year-round broadcast footprint for independent filmmakers on public television. Both series will air in a new timeslot on Monday nights at 10:00 pm starting this fall with the premiere of Independent Lens on October 29. “The Monday night schedule gives us an opportunity to drive new and larger audiences on-air and online to the diverse and innovative content that independents bring to PBS,” said Paula Kerger, president and CEO of PBS. In addition to the regular Monday night broadcasts of both series (Independent Lens October through June, and POV June through October), PBS plans to develop a multiplatform film festival for mid-2013, which would showcase independent programs from both series during several weeks of broadcast presentations that would connect TV audiences with online and mobile content, and digital users, who are often younger and more diverse, with opportunities to participate locally with their public television stations. The digital component of the multiplatform film festival builds on a recent PBS online film festival that drew from independent content providers and attracted more than 300,000 viewers on YouTube and the PBS.org website. “The online film festival is only one example of how we can extend the reach of these important programs through efforts that go beyond broadcast,” added Kerger.
