Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | Animal Atlas continues its tradition as a series that blends animal images with information on a wide range of life science issues in a manner that is entertaining and clever. The episodes from this season again combine facts, comparisons, and reflections on broad concepts with an engaging narration that targets the 13-16 year-old age range in both vocabulary and interest level. The entertainment value of the series may make the educational value nearly invisible to the viewer, but it is there. Examples include the "Animal Facts" quizzes before and after breaks, the closing footage of faux outtakes with voiceover, and the sweeping world view that can make animals fascinating through comparison for example, comparing tentacles and trunks. These elements combine to create an enlightening way to hold viewer interest while delivering real-world information. The program is 30 minutes in length, and is identified as an educational and informational show, targeted to 13 - 16 year olds, at the beginning of each broadcast and in listings provided to publishers of program guides. |
