The show and each segment are introduced with a question designed to peak curiosity, similar to the anticipatory set in a lesson. The format allows for discussion and the making of predictions, making it ideal for the classroom. Each segment is united by a theme: fastest, largest, etc. In a tight, well edited format, the answers the question posed for each segment are revealed, along with interesting facts provided by an expert. The program is narrated by an enthusiastic host, with a young, modern vocal style that will be engaging to the target audience. The graphics are innovative and very high-tech and futuristic in appearance, which will also connect and draw in the audience. The experts were well chosen and seemed very eager and approachable. As someone who considers themselves to be highly knowledgeable about animals, who matches programs similar in content to Animal Science, I learned several new facts. Professionally, my job requires that I participate in the development of educational curriculum. Charged with educating students, I am always on the lookout for tools that will link students to the material in a meaningful and engaging way. This program would be ideal for connecting students to a variety of topics in the science content areas. |
