I can see how that is a challenge in the big city where everything seems manmade and all the plants and animals are human's bred companions or ineradicable scavengers

There was a Netflix show in the 2010s, "Ask The Storybots" that had a lot of science songs. It's unfortunately not high school level! It's preschool-kindergarten level. But might give you some ideas and anyhow it's pleasant and adult-watchable with famous guest stars. Now that I think about it your high schoolers would have been early-mid grade school so maybe you could lean on nostalgia
Ask the StoryBots - Wikipedia
Most of them are 10th graders. I skimmed Ask the Storybots and didn't get any ideas, but I hope to do something like what they did but of course for 10th graders.

The same thought occurred to me about living in the concrete jungle. But I've been surprised by what kids know about nature and farming, so it may not be such a stretch to get them interested in whatever else we're going to cover.

Thanks for your thoughts!
