Each Unit Has 4 Distinct Segments
Planet Bonehead comprises several standalone units, each delving into different environmental topics through a series of premium videos and comprehensive lesson plans.
1 - Meet the Boneheads!
Introduce Heavy Topics with Levity
Meet the Boneheads uses animation and humor to create an engaging and vibrant learning atmosphere for the students. It’s all about making the introduction to the topic as gentle as possible.
And for you, the teacher, the Teacher Resource Kit provides a library of adult-level resources to bolster your understanding and confidence in teaching the material, plus classroom resources like discussion prompts, a quiz, and a glossary to demystify any complex terms.
2 - It’s Your Planet Too!
Show Them WHY It Matters
It’s Your Planet Too! connects the dots between the environmental issue at hand and the students' daily lives, showing them why it should matter to them.
Meanwhile, the Teacher Resource Kit provides an NCAS-aligned art lesson plan where students can use their imaginations to visualize the issue, and articulate how it affects all our lives.
3 - Think Like Engineers!
Unleash Creativity and Solutions
In Think Like Engineers, we turn the spotlight onto amazing technology solutions, courtesy of innovative greentech leaders and climate scientists. Here we go beyond problem identification, actively showing the students that solutions are not just possible, but already in motion.
The Teacher Resource Kit offers a STEAM-focused lesson plan, encouraging students to brainstorm, design, and present their own technological solutions inspired by real-world innovations.
4 - You Have the Power!
Empower Action and Change
Finally, You Have the Power! wraps up the unit on a high note, instilling a sense of agency and capability in the students. Our empowering music video provides practical ideas and actions that students can do at home or at school!
The Teacher Resource Kit offers a fun and engaging outdoor lesson plan, providing an opportunity to take the learning outside the classroom, whether it's a schoolyard, a local park, or any accessible outdoor space.
You're going to love Teacher Resource Kits. Each unit provides adult-level resources to enhance your own understanding of each topic, as well as activities and lesson plans to effectively facilitate this learning in the classroom.

I’m Bobby Donohue
I empower educators to explore the intersections of art, science, and technology.
Teaching complex STEAM topics is a challenge, especially when resources, knowledge, and support are scarce.
Through inspiring videos, lessons, and activities, I help you introduce students to groundbreaking ideas in a clear and engaging way. My resources ignite curiosity and prepare students for a future where imagination and science converge to solve real-world problems.
Oh, and I know most “free trials” are risky, so my Free Forever Membership gives you full access to select units of Planet Bonehead and Quantassey with no credit card or cancellation required. Hope that helps.
