PBS Life on Earth Attenborough's Greatest Adventure Worksheet +

Keep students watching and writing the whole way through with this fill-in-the-blank worksheet for Life on Earth: Attenborough's Greatest Adventure (PBS, 2026). The 15 questions follow the video in the order it plays, so students record each answer as that moment happens on screen instead of reconstructing it afterward — which holds their attention and leaves them with an organized set of notes to study from later.

Built for Biology, it is a natural fit for Biology and Life Science classrooms (grades 6-12) using a high-interest documentary to introduce evolution, adaptation, and the history of life on Earth, and Earth Science and Environmental Science courses covering fossils, deep time, and the origins of the modern conservation movement. The film runs about 54 minutes, so the sheet is built to carry a multi-day study or a longer viewing block rather than a single sitting. Use it as a full-period viewing activity, a guided companion when you hand the room to a substitute, or a focused review at the end of a unit. A complete answer key is printed on the final page, so whoever is covering the class can run it with no preparation and no background knowledge. The 1-page layout is clean and low-ink, designed to print two-sided. Everything is laid out for a low-prep class period: hand out the page, press play, and let students do the rest. The questions stay in the order the video presents them, so students can follow along without losing their place. It prints cleanly in black and white, which keeps a full class set cheap to photocopy. Use it on its own for a single lesson or fold it into a larger unit alongside related episodes and films.
