Find out what goes on underground when Science Questers explore the world of pit-houses and geothermal power. Kai and Anostin take a trip to Iceland to see geothermal activity up front, while Kai makes a mini model to show how geothermal energy works. Plus an Indigenous archeologist celebrates the knowledge she gathers about her ancestors, looking underground.

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.

Indigenous Scientists look inside the earth and rock layers to learn about the Earth's history. And Archeology gives us evidence about how our ancestors used to live. Elders say that rocks are the oldest beings and we call them Grandfather. In Iceland, Kai and Anostin learn that nearly 90% of Iceland’s homes are heated with underground power, aka Geothermal Energy. Our Science Questers in the Okanagan Nation head to a traditional Winter House to meet with Elder Eric Mitchell, who brings us inside to show how their winter house, or, pit house, is structured. Karen Rose Thomas from Tsleil-Waututh Nation can't wait to tell us about her exciting world of archeology digs. Plus, Kai makes a model to demonstrate how geothermal energy works. Commander John Herrington breaks down the anatomy of the earth—it’s sort of like an onion! SisterClan shares a beautiful song with us and we share an animation story about Joah and her geologist Grandmother.
