Greg Grandy hosts this series of science programs on environmental topics for the middle school classroom. Combining elements of earth and life science with real-world documentary segments, the programs explore the natural processes that create and alter habitats and ecosystems, human impacts on those processes, and environmental consequences of everyday decisions.

The series includes 25 programs in all, divided into five themed modules of five programs each:

  1. Science in Personal and Social Perspective—how physical aspects of the environment affect people’s day-to-day well-being and human cultures
  2. Decisions Based on Science—examples of the complexities involved in environmental issues and how various people are striving to live with the environment in a healthy, balanced way
  3. Topics and Issues in Environmental Science: Commons Sense—how people and communities can protect natural resources
  4. Forces in the Environment—how primal geologic forces continue to reshape Earth and its habitats
  5. Processes and Cycles in the Environment—how waste, decomposition, and the accumulation of chemical and biological factors can upset a balanced ecosystem

Enviro-Tacklebox is part of the Discovery video collection.
