Positives

• The video does a good job of explaining how both grazing and fire help the grasslands to stay healthy.
• Links to helpful articles and websites can be found in the article. 

Additional Prerequisites

• Advertisements may appear at the bottom of the video.
• Students should be familiar with the terms biosphere, carbon storage, economics, ecology, migratory, and dormant.
  

Differentiation

• Science classes could make a cause and effect chart to show what happened when prairies were converted into farms. 
• Biology classes could research the role that fire plays in keeping ecosystems healthy and how preventing natural fires can have a detrimental impact on the environment.
• Other resources on this topic include this Vox video on the United States government's attempt to exterminate the bison, this video on how suppressing forest fires made forest fires worse, and this interactive diagram of the carbon cycle.
