The sun is a huge part in the source of life. It keeps us warm, gives living organisms energy and grows our food. Science Questers investigate how solar power can serve as a clean alternative energy source. Kai makes a DIY solar oven.

COYOTE'S CRAZY SMART SCIENCE SHOW (Coyote Science) is a visually stunning, award-winning adventures-in-science series designed for elementary students. Drawing on wisdom from pioneers in Indigenous education, including Dr. Leroy Little Bear, Amethyst First Rider, and Dr. Lorna Williams, Coyote Science bridges the worlds of Indigenous and Western science, teaching kids scientific concepts through discussions with Indigenous scientists, storytelling, animation, music, and experiments.

BIO: Created by Loretta Todd, a Métis–Cree filmmaker who was one of the first Indigenous women to pursue film studies at Simon Fraser University in BC. Loretta is an amateur science geek who always wanted to inspire Indigenous children and youth to learn more about science, especially Indigenous science. Using her creative skills as a creative, L. S. Todd is an internationally acclaimed, award-winning filmmaker known for powerful, visual storytelling and cultural leadership.

The sun gives the Earth an abundance of energy, sustaining life. It keeps us warm, gives living organisms energy and grows our food. Everywhere, Indigenous communities are investing in solar power and clean energy. Science Questers visit the T’Sou-Ke Nation to speak with Educator Trena Sutton about the community’s solar power project and Chief Gordon Planes tells us how clean energy is helping future generations. Jessica Bekker inspire us with her journey to become an Electrical Engineer and about the importance of sustainable energy, including wind power in her Nation of Piikani. Meanwhile, Kai makes a DIY solar oven and in our animated story, the Cosmic Surfer saves the day. Commander John Herrington introduces us to the Pueblo peoples, who designed and engineered their own type of house to use the sun’s energy.
