For next week’s Watch & Wonder Highlight, we’re thrilled to feature this episode of NATURE. After watching, dive deeper with resources about how the engineering and design process can be used to gain valuable insights into the world’s ecosystems on PBS LearningMedia.
In Animals With Cameras: Oceans, wildlife cameraman Gordon Buchanan leads a team using state-of-the-art cameras, offering a fresh look at the lives of some of the animals in our oceans such as sharks, elephant seals, turtles and gannets.

Eyes on the Ecosystem | Animals with Cameras: Oceans
Grades 6-12
NATURE’s Animals with Cameras follows scientists into the field as they endeavor to better understand the world’s ecosystems by fitting animals with specially designed cameras. Explore how the engineering and design process can be used to gain valuable insights into the ecosystems that scientists study with these videos from Animals With Cameras: Oceans. Students will engage in a design challenge to create – and test – a mini-camera prototype for a species of their choice.
