Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. After bidding farewell to his Aunt Lucy in darkest Peru, Paddington Bear sails off and eventually finds himself alone in Paddington Station. The label around his neck reads simply, Please look after this bear. Thank You. When the Brown family takes him in, they get a lot more than they bargained for. Paddington is a stranger in a strange land and much of the charm of his adventures comes from his unique way of looking at the world. Many things others take for granted are exactly what he finds so fascinating and worthy of investigation. Paddington Bear has a knack for turning everyday life into an all out adventure. Helpful and curious, Paddington always puts his paws where he shouldnt and inevitably finds himself in sticky situations. He doesn't go looking for adventure, it just seems to find him.

Host and Marine Biologist, Danni Washington, exudes energy as she relates how current technology was inspired by nature, and how modern innovators are continuing with this practice. We will whirl around in airplanes inspired by birds, and in helicopters influenced by the dragonfly, and even jump from a few such vehicles to illustrate how wingsuits were invented based on the flying squirrel. But engineers arent the only scientists looking toward nature. We will also meet with biologists studying the behavior patterns of ants, architects who design living buildings and roboticists who are making their designs bigger, stronger, and faster based on animals. This series will show kids how understanding nature can help them make the next great discovery. After all, nature knows best.

Host, science educator, and leader in the field of professional educational training, Steve Spangler, encourages the discovery of scientific concepts through experiments viewers can do at home. With a fun, relaxed attitude, Steve will take viewers through step by step demonstrations of do it yourself experiments that amaze but which also relate back to solid principles of science. For instance, Steve Spangler became nationally known with a video of him dropping the candy Mentos into a bottle of diet soda. It erupts in a geyser of soda. On XPLORATION DIY Sci, Spangler demonstrates the experiment and also explains the science of why, on a molecular level, the soda reacts that way to the candy.
