Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. The content and range of knowledge delivered by the pictures contained in "Animal Atlas Classics" is enough to communicate the diversity of nature from the clear, colorful footage ranges to insects to the higher mammals.

It clearly presumes a level of knowledge that matches that age range. It meets the challenge of engaging the curiosity of the target age range without pandering and without filtering information. The editing, music, and content would hold the eye and ear while the mind is engaged. "Animal Atlas Classics" maintains the series' connection with educational standards consistent with nationally published curriculum goals in the natural sciences.
