This Father’s Day, pair quality time with purposeful learning by watching “Fatherhood in the Animal Kingdom”, a 2024 BBC Earth short documentary that follows wildlife fathers — from seahorses to lions — as they nurture and protect their young. The film doubles as a rich STEM learning opportunity, inviting children to explore animal behavior, habitats, and evolutionary adaptations through the lens of fatherhood in nature. Use the discussion prompts above to guide reflection after viewing — questions are differentiated for Grades 1–5 and Grades 6–8.
