Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. Safari Tracks is a program with content grounded in the natural world and delivered using an approach that, while entertaining to a young audience, highlights the informational and educational aspects of the animal kingdom in the given environment of Africa. There is no question that an audience of young people would gain worthwhile information and concepts delivered with an enlightened attitude toward nature and the environment. Viewers receive topic points that help build the ethical decision-making necessary to becoming a citizen of the planet. The program consists of an engaging host, appropriately African, who offers an easygoing, natural look at animals that are exotic outside of the African continent. From the start, the host references terms in his native African language, a valuable acknowledgement of the multicultural world in which today's children must live. The language level for the narration is at a sheltered middle school level. It presumes a vocabulary that is not beyond advanced upper elementary students. The program's references to and explanation of the predator-prey relationship, the endangerment of natural habitat and species by human activity, and the relatively low survival rate of some animals, are an educational frame for the subject matter of individual animal characteristics. There is no inappropriate personification of the animals too often a temptation when presenting material for young people which keeps the material appealing to middle school and above. There is no comedic exploitation of animals in the footage. Neither is there oversimplification of any key concepts. The references, tone, and presentation all hold true to a line that serves its categorization as educational. The series lends itself to respect for the natural world and initiates discussion of issues relating to that world and encourages drawing of conclusions based upon information presented, The program basic content consists of animal footage taken in the wild, a narration, and a score that features engaging regional musical. Musical accents are from more traditional genres but are effective in holding attention to the fast moving video clips. The program is edited with attention to the visual demands of today's young media viewers. There are fast paced segments, attention-supplementing music tracks, and arresting video content, such as a man in an open vehicle fending off an angry ostrich charging at 45 miles per hour. Summary: Target audience for tone, program content, and learning concepts: Middle and high school (ages 12 and above) Not inappropriate for upper elementary grades Content, including predation discussions, might be too strong for primary aged students, although it would not require particular screening or advisories. The footage does not require traditional flagging. General Category of Learning: Life Science Underlying Science Content Standards addressed: Functions in ecosystems Environment and adaptive characteristics Data and comparison of characteristics across species Adaptation of structure and function for survival The program is 30 minutes in length and is identified as educational and informational at the beginning and through each broadcast and in the listings provided to the publishers of program guides.

Age of Target Child Audience from 13 years to 16 years
Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. Safari Tracks is a program with content grounded in the natural world and delivered using an approach that, while entertaining to a young audience, highlights the informational and educational aspects of the animal kingdom in the given environment of Africa. There is no question that an audience of young people would gain worthwhile information and concepts delivered with an enlightened attitude toward nature and the environment. Viewers receive topic points that help build the ethical decision-making necessary to becoming a citizen of the planet. The program consists of an engaging host, appropriately African, who offers an easygoing, natural look at animals that are exotic outside of the African continent. From the start, the host references terms in his native African language, a valuable acknowledgement of the multicultural world in which todays children must live. The language level for the narration is at a sheltered middle school level. It presumes a vocabulary that is not beyond advanced upper elementary students. The program's references to and explanation of the predator-prey relationship, the endangerment of natural habitat and species by human activity, and the relatively low survival rate of some animals, are an educational frame for the subject matter of individual animal characteristics. There is no inappropriate personification of the animals too often a temptation when presenting material for young people which keeps the material appealing to middle school and above. There is no comedic exploitation of animals in the footage. Neither is there oversimplification of any key concepts. The references, tone, and presentation all hold true to a line that serves its categorization as educational. The series lends itself to respect for the natural world and initiates discussion of issues relating to that world and encourages drawing of conclusions based upon information presented, The program basic content consists of animal footage taken in the wild, a narration, and a score that features engaging regional musical. Musical accents are from more traditional genres but are effective in holding attention to the fast moving video clips. The program is edited with attention to the visual demands of today's young media viewers. There are fast paced segments, attention-supplementing music tracks, and arresting video content, such as a man in an open vehicle fending off an angry ostrich charging at 45 miles per hour. Summary: Target audience for tone, program content, and learning concepts: Middle and high school (ages 12 and above) Not inappropriate for upper elementary grades Content, including predation discussions, might be too strong for primary aged students, although it would not require particular screening or advisories. The footage does not require traditional flagging. General Category of Learning: Life Science Underlying Science Content Standards addressed: Functions in ecosystems Environment and adaptive characteristics Data and comparison of characteristics across species Adaptation of structure and function for survival The program is 30 minutes in length and is identified as educational and informational at the beginning and through each broadcast and in the listings provided to the publishers of program guides.
