Planet Earth (BBC, 2006) - Episode 1: From Pole to Pole | Documentary

Keep students watching and writing the whole way through with this fill-in-the-blank worksheet for Planet Earth (BBC, 2006) - Episode 1: From Pole to Pole. The 16 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 Earth Science, it is a natural fit for Earth Science classrooms (grades 6-12) covering biomes, latitude, and climate zones, and AP Environmental Science units surveying global biomes. It is sized to fit inside a single 50-minute period. 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.
