| Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | In each episode, a different pair of teenagers joins up with an adult host for a trip to exotic places such as Hawaii, Iceland or a tropical rain forest in Central America. Each journey is a lesson in the beauty of nature, its creatures and the people who inhabit the land. The program is not designed to be "preachy" or overly pedantic but rather, the goal is to make the learning fun. The kids tour each area learning about its people, geography, climate and ecology and the things that make it unique. While there, they also do cool kid stuff like wind surfing, hot air ballooning, and horseback riding, and we join them as they engage in activities and recreation which are indigenous to each locale. |

| Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | The program provides visual learning that is evident in children of all ages, but particularly in the early teen years. The narrative is engaging and entertaining and the stunning visual images in motion are effective in connecting to the target audience. Educational and factual information is displayed in clever ways. Drop-down boards provide important information on the screen about animals. Jack Hanna, the programs host, uses commentary to convey and then reemphasize important conservation and educational information. This program is designed to work at several levels which makes it broadly effective for viewers within the target age-range despite differences in background and interest levels. This series provides important educational benefits to the 13 to 16 year old population. |

| Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | Animal Atlas is an entirely appropriate title for this engaging and informative series. Just as browsing through a good atlas makes information about terrain and natural boundaries accessible and appealing, this program brings information about the natural world of animals to viewers in a non-didactic, entertaining way. Its approach in no way diminishes the learning that takes place when observations lead to conclusions and young minds will draw many conclusions about the natural world shown in this series. These conclusions are consistent with nationally published curriculum goals in the natural sciences. They include concepts such as the functions of animals in an ecosystem(predator/prey relationships, etc.), the elements of animal classification, and the general emphasis on life science. |

| Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | In each episode, a different pair of teenagers joins up with an adult host for a trip to exotic places such as Hawaii, Iceland or a tropical rain forest in Central America. Each journey is a lesson in the beauty of nature, its creatures and the people who inhabit the land. The program is not designed to be "preachy" or overly pedantic but rather, the goal is to make the learning fun. The kids tour each area learning about its people, geography, climate and ecology and the things that make it unique. While there, they also do cool kid stuff like wind surfing, hot air ballooning, and horseback riding, and we join them as they engage in activities and recreation which are indigenous to each locale. |
