EBTSOYP Daily Dives take students on a trip to the frontlines of science, exploration, conservation, and adventure to learn about the newest discoveries, conservation stories, expeditions, and more. Each school day @ 8:00am eastern, we release a new 5-7 minute video along with a 5 minute minds on activity for students.
