This lesson aims to give students a better understanding of their place in the world and a deeper appreciation for life by exploring the huge diversity on our tiny planet. It begins with a journey looking at a famous photo taken by Voyager 1 from 3.7 billion miles away, known as "The Pale Blue Dot," which shows Earth as a tiny dot in the vastness of space. The lesson notes that within the blue dot of Earth, the United Kingdom is an even tinier dot, and discusses population sizes and rankings to show students their small position globally in order to open their eyes to the diversity in the world.
