The missing ingredient in how we learn

Explore the benefits and challenges of using self-directed play-based learning models in schools. -- Before the last few centuries, children around the world spent most of their time learning through play: observing and mimicking adults, roaming their surroundings, and sharing what they learned with friends and family. Many communities and educators still believe play is one of the best teachers we have. Explore the benefits and challenges of using self-directed play-based learning in schools. Directed by Hernando Bahamon, Vicente Numpaque.

She's a Crustacean. She's a Mom. She's a Roly Poly.

Roly polies aren’t insects — they’re crustaceans, and they have more in common with kangaroos than you might think. These land-dwelling isopods carry their eggs in a fluid-filled pouch on their underside, giving their young a tiny ocean to develop in until they’re ready to face the world. In this episode of Deep Look, we take a close look at how roly poly moms protect their eggs, nurture their babies, and pull off one of nature’s most surprising examples of convergent evolution. 👉 Donate to KQED, the public media station that makes Deep Look: https://donate.kqed.org/deeplook SIGN UP for Deep Look’s newsletter, Nature Unseen: https://bit.ly/NatureUnseenSignUp SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@KQEDDeepLook?sub_confirmation=1 ---+ Find a transcript on KQED Science: https://www.kqed.org/science/2000948/release-the-brood-roly-poly-birthing-is-intense ---+ More great Deep Look episodes: Spotted Lanternflies are The Ultimate Party Crashers https://youtu.be/IGtbHRPcSe8 Can You Spot These Insane Camouflaged Animals? https://youtu.be/Gpvc5ZX5B08 We Made The Stuff That Makes Fireflies Glow In A Lab https://youtu.be/fbuJSmpxiNY ---+ Thank you to our top Patreon supporters ($10+ per month)!
