About

When it comes to science, we're an extremely passionate group of scientists, educators and filmmakers that have come to the conclusion that learning about science should be fun and easy.  Anyone with a passion for nature can come to UntamedScience.com to learn about their favorite species, biology topics, and learn tips and tricks to make their own videos.  And, to help teachers, we've integrated lesson plans into our content to make it as easy as possible for them to use the site in their classrooms.

Untamed Science isn't just about this site though. We've been working with Pearson Publishing since 2008 to create quality educational films for the classroom. In fact, our high school BioAdventures series is already in classrooms. Learn more about that program through Pearson's Biology Portal.

Rob and Jonas explain what this site is all about!
