Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. What an absolutely gorgeous program. If the visual is the most efficient medium for learning and it is then this series sends valuable education and information on a ride straight through the optic nerve to the brain . From famous cliffs in emerald Ireland to the Blue Grotto in Capri, we are taken on a tour in high definition of a planets worth of striking natural wonders, some famous and some rarely seen. Skaftafel Iceland Victoria Falls the Bay of Fundy the Wave in Arizona Machu Picchu Waitom , New Zealand, Mt. Bromo in Java and more are unveiled in a fast paced arresting half hour of programming. Moreover The Coolest Places on Earth is not content with merely showing these places. It explains how they came to be, when to see them best, and, thankfully, the natural laws behind their unique existence. The optics of Italys Blue Grotto are explained as is the origin of the Ngorongo Crater, and the Mayan mysteries of Machu Picchu. But although a great amount of information is passed along, it is never pedantic. The information shared, important to the development of the 13-16 year old target group, comes in a light narrative the conversation tone of an awed friend. We learn why the ice caves in Skaftafel are blue, not transparent, and how the Waitomo caves in New Zealand got their name. The information is important. Without it, the visual poems of rainbows over Grand Canyon, smoking volcanic calderas, glowing worms, and time lapsed cloud shadows would boggle the mind. The coolest places are sorted out by the unique facts of their being the speed of the tides in the Bay of Fundy, the endangered cave bats in Kentucky, the Maori word origins of the Waitomo. The information, like the images, comes fast with impact, and is gone. It forces the viewer to pay attention and there are gems if they do. For example, the narrative does not dwell on the information it shares that bats are the second largest order of mammals in the world. For many in the target audience and beyond just the fact that bats are mammals would be enough. The note that some bats are endangered enough to reroute cave visitors is a revelation to anyone who thinks of bats as the eternal vampires of the animal kingdom. There is some scary stuff to mix with the beauty the tourist on his stomach peering over the edge of Victoria Falls the long bungee jumps from the African bridge the terror of being in the ice caves as they melt. For the 13 to 16 year old, a little fright makes for a satisfying episode. For adults, it means a reach for the remote to DVR the images. They are worth a freeze frame.

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. Animal Atlas continues its long series life by using technology to consistently improve the essential visual component of the episodes. The high definition video of the arresting animals and animal elements is well used to engage viewers and lead them through a sequence of valued and meaningful insights. One of the series strengths continues to be that it does not just present a list of animal facts but links a wide variety of information into sequences that make knowledge of the animal kingdom both simpler and easier to remember. The interstitial quizzes have become not just summaries of previous information but a lead-in to the next organized sequence of information. The tone of credited narrator Eric Schwartz is perfect for the target group of 13-16 year old. It is non professorial and faux flip again, ideal for the target mindset of self confident adolescence. Yet the vocabulary is rich. It presumes the understanding of the words like behemoth and adaptation, but gives enough context to add that word to young viewers vocabulary without getting pedantic. Great information in a rich visual context.

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. Animal Atlas continues its long series life by using technology to consistently improve the essential visual component of the episodes. The high definition video of the arresting animals and animal elements is well used to engage viewers and lead them through a sequence of valued and meaningful insights. One of the series strengths continues to be that it does not just present a list of animal facts but links a wide variety of information into sequences that make knowledge of the animal kingdom both simpler and easier to remember. The interstitial quizzes have become not just summaries of previous information but a lead-in to the next organized sequence of information. The tone of credited narrator Eric Schwartz is perfect for the target group of 13-16 year old. It is non professorial and faux flip again, ideal for the target mindset of self confident adolescence. Yet the vocabulary is rich. It presumes the understanding of the words like behemoth and adaptation, but gives enough context to add that word to young viewers vocabulary without getting pedantic. Great information in a rich visual context.
