share us on:

The lesson “What If: Life Underground” explores the intriguing concept of living beneath the Earth’s surface, highlighting both the potential benefits and challenges. While moving underground could lead to a greener surface environment and the discovery of new species, it would also mean sacrificing sunlight and fresh air, facing water and earthquake hazards, and coexisting with underground animals. Ultimately, the lesson encourages reflection on the feasibility and desirability of such a lifestyle change.
  1. What do you think would happen to the plants and trees if people lived underground?
  2. How would living underground change the way we tell time and enjoy nature?
  3. What are some challenges we might face if we share our underground home with animals?

What If: Life Underground

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live underground? Let’s explore this interesting idea together!

Earth Becomes Greener

If people moved underground, the surface of the Earth might become greener. Without humans around, plants and trees could grow more freely, making the Earth look like a giant garden!

Missing Sunlight and Fresh Air

Living underground means we wouldn’t get to enjoy the sunshine or breathe fresh air. It would be hard to tell if it’s day or night without the sun to guide us. We might need special lights to help us know when to wake up and when to sleep.

Water and Earthquake Challenges

Water could leak into our underground homes, causing problems for everyone. Also, earthquakes might be dangerous because they could make our underground houses shake or even collapse.

Sharing Space with Animals

Living underground, we might find ourselves sharing space with different animals. Some could be pests, and we might even see more snakes! We would need to be careful and learn how to live peacefully with these creatures.

Impact on Underground Animals

With so many people moving underground, some animals that already live there might struggle to survive. We would need to be mindful of their homes and try to protect them.

Discovering New Species

Exploring deep underground could lead us to discover new and exciting species that we never knew existed. It would be like going on a big adventure to find hidden treasures!

Living underground would be a big change, with both exciting discoveries and new challenges. What do you think? Would you like to try living underground?

  • Imagine you are living underground. What do you think your new home would look like? Can you draw or describe it?
  • If you could discover a new animal while living underground, what would it be like? What special features would it have?
  • How do you think living underground would change your daily activities, like playing outside or going to school? What would you miss the most about living above ground?
  1. Plant a Mini Garden: Imagine the Earth becoming a giant garden if people lived underground. Create your own mini garden in a small pot or container. Plant seeds of your choice, such as flowers or herbs, and observe how they grow. Discuss with your friends or family how plants might grow differently if they were above ground without humans around.

  2. Sunlight Experiment: Living underground means missing out on sunlight. Try an experiment by placing two small plants in different locations: one in a sunny spot and the other in a dark place. Observe how each plant grows over a week. Talk about why sunlight is important and how living underground might affect our daily routines.

  3. Animal Observation Journal: Living underground means sharing space with animals. Start an observation journal where you note down any animals you see in your backyard or local park. Draw pictures of them and write about how you think they might adapt if they lived underground. Consider how we could live peacefully with these animals if we shared their space.

Here’s a sanitized version of the provided YouTube transcript:

It’s AumSum Time! What if we lived underground? Cool! AumSum is the King of the Underground. If we lived underground, the absence of humans might allow the Earth to become green again. However, we would miss out on fresh air and sunlight for a long time, making it difficult to distinguish between night and day. Water leakages from above could become a common issue for everyone. Earthquakes might pose a risk, potentially causing our underground homes to collapse.

Our underground living spaces could be inhabited by various pests, and encounters with snakes could increase. Due to human overpopulation, many underground animal species might face extinction. Humans may end up living deep underground, where temperatures would likely rise. We could also discover new species living in the depths of the Earth.
