Educator Resources for Death

Death is an inevitable part of life--but the more you know about it, the less scary it can seem. In this BrainPOP movie, Tim and Moby will tell you what happens when we die and why death can be so hard to deal with. You’ll learn about the various changes that a dead organism goes through--things like cooling and becoming stiff. You’ll also find out about the process of decomposition, and learn which environmental conditions can slow it down. Plus, you’ll get some advice on who to talk to if you’re dealing with the tough reality of death. It’s not the most uplifting subject in the world, but you’ll be glad you learned more about it.
