One Strange Rock premieres on Monday, March 26, at 10/9c on National Geographic. One Strange Rock was filmed in 45 countries on six continents and from space, and features insights from some of the world’s most accomplished astronauts. The series is hosted by Will Smith and presented by visionary director Darren Aronofsky, who [spoke](http://highschool.latimes.com/california-school-of-the-arts/darren-aronofskys-one-strange-rock-takes-a-look-from-space-to-truly-discover-our-earth/) about the series’ potential as an educational tool at a Television Critics Association panel in January: “What was exciting about this was taking astronomy, anthropology, biology, chemistry, and physics, and trying to sort of blend them together to talk about this home that we’re all living on.” The educational materials reflect this broad engagement with many different scientific fields, including [articles on climate change](https://www.nationalgeographic.org/news/working-with-nature-to-slow-global-warming/), [videos on plate tectonics](https://www.nationalgeographic.org/media/plate-tectonics/), and an [elementary school guide to extreme weather](https://www.nationalgeographic.org/activity/extreme-weather-on-our-planet/). The curriculum guide for middle and high school students works hand-in-hand with the series to spark discussions about the solar system, microscopic organisms, the history of the space program, and more.
