All lessons are aligned with Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). The curriculum, a mixture of art and science mirroring the film, can be used in either humanities or science classes. Through compelling scientific and visual evidence, students will learn how the Anthropocene-the current epoch of systemic human change in the environment-is affecting four foundational elements: earth, air, water, and fire.

This dynamic curriculum engages students and teachers in forward-looking dialogue and thoughtful discussions around climate change and its impacts on their communities and daily lives.

However, looking back, a big question occurs: Who was the actual performer there - beneath the unforgettable blue makeup, the tentacles sprouting from her head, and the intricate black neckpiece and matching wristbands? Her name is Maïwenn Le Besco, who professionally as simply Maïwenn. Singing a unique arrangement of 'Il dolce suono' from the opera 'Lucia di Lammermoor,' performed by Inva Mula in the movie, the blue-skinned Diva enraptures not only the scene's fictional audience, but also the real-life audience watching 'The Fifth Element.' From the vocals to the visuals floating around the Diva to the way she herself looks, it's hard not to be captivated by the sequence.

Set in the 23rd century, the 1997 summer blockbuster features an intriguing storyline about an ex-Special Forces major and current cab driver Korben Dallas (Bruce Willis) who, alongside the orange-haired humanoid Leeloo (Milla Jovovich) embarks on a mission to obtain stones needed to save Earth from certain doom.
