This live-action series based on the comic strip by Jok Church features Beakman as the slightly nutty but never boring scientist who leads a journey of discovery while performing experiments that demonstrate how the world works. The entire series deals with science and the task of making science accessible and understandable. It offers scientific content, scientific theories, the vocabulary and facts of science and the processes of scientific thinking. The scientific content of "Beakman's World" overlaps with a significant number of the standards for science education that are prevalent in the curricula of today's schools. Children in the target age group of 13 to 16 years of age will be in the 7th to 10th grades. At those grade levels, experts in science education and the developmental needs of that age group recommend that these children should focus learning on the physical sciences and the life sciences along with learning the processes of investigation and experimentation. Topics are addressed with cutting-edge humor and state-of-the-art visuals that make learning fun.
