This viewing guide is designed to help insure that students are paying attention and thinking about the information presented in the film. The Viewing Guide is two pages and splits the movie into four parts. (The parts are labeled for you on the Viewing Guide.) The guide asks basic questions about the science discussed in the movie.

These worksheets are also included in Google Form format to be submitted digitally. How the Lesson Works: ★ The Viewing Guide is split into four sections with short answer, true/false, and multiple choice questions from the movie. ★ The Post-Screening Worksheet is designed to be completed after students have viewed the movie in its entirety.
