Core topics:World geography (physical and cultural), history, and science
Goal: To engage and stimulate interest in learning about the diverse regions, cultures, and histories that characterize todays world.
Curriculum Overview:
Class field trips remember them? A chance for kids to see how some of the things they learn about in the classroom take form in the real world. And perhaps more important, a chance for good teachers to expose kids to new, exciting ideas the kinds of ideas that not only excite kids, but that made the return to the classroom more engaging, more fun. Of course, for most kids most field trips stick relatively close to home. After all, everybody has to be back at school the next day. That is, unless they take one of Inspector Gadgets Field Trips. He can take kids anywhere in the world.
In this series, Inspector Gadget (and the voice of Don Adams), one of childrens all-time favorite animated characters, leads 8 11-year-olds on field trips to some of the most interesting, exciting places in the world: London, China, the NASA Space Center, the Old West, and more. Combining animation with live-action footage, they are journeys filled with fascinating sights and exciting insights. We see how people live in other parts of the world (and sometimes in other historical eras). The shows reveal both differences and commonalities among various peoples, various cultures. Most trips contain some geography, some history, some science
and a whole lot of social science.
Inspector Gadgets Field Trips, produced in cooperation with the National Education Association (NEA), exposes young viewers to some of the most interesting geographical and historical sights in the world. It is designed not only to teach about the larger world in which todays kids live, but more important, it is designed to engage their interest and stimulate their desire to learn more. By exposing young kids to the colorful facts, quirks, and interesting legends and lore associated with the places they visit, each episode is designed to spark viewers imagination to excite them with the idea of finding out more about their world. In short, the goal of Inspector Gadgets Field Trips is not only to teach kids about distant places, but to promote the belief that knowing about our complex world is both interesting and fun.

Each week Archie and the gang negotiate their way through yet another weird mystery. They encounter many of the same problems and issues confronting todays pre-teens: how to get along with others; how to build and maintain self-confidence; what kinds of values and behaviors lead to both self-respect and respect from others. Because Archie, Jughead, Betty, Veronica, and their classmates are engaging characters with whom young viewers easily identify, they serve as excellent role models. As they deal with such pro-social issues as honesty, perseverance, dependability diversity, self-reliance, and self-respect, their struggles and what they finally learn provide young viewers with the kinds of life lessons that study after study indicates parents and teachers value.
