Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming
The show's mission is to promote positive traits and social behaviors while introducing a new generation of 3-6-year-olds to Strawberry Shortcake and her friends as they explore the richly imagined world of Strawberryland. Strawberry Shortcake uses the highly popular, much loved characters of Strawberryland to model prosocial beliefs and behaviors to young children. As Strawberry and her many friends explore the richly-imagined world of Strawberryland, they discover adventure, delight, fantasy, whimsy, humor, excitement, music and the occasional problem. The interaction among Strawberry and her friends as they explore their world and deal with the problems inherent in their adventures offers a natural opportunity to present (as opposed to preach) pro-social beliefs, values and behaviors. Strawberry Shortcake is a natural leader. She hosts the series, tells the stories and, most importantly, is an ideal role model. She is curious, active, self-confident and always willing to make her world a better place. She learns from her mistakes. Strawberry personifies the belief that hard work, sacrifice and caring will usually set things right. Just as important as Strawberry's many positive qualities, she is surrounded by a small circle of friends, most of whom share her values, but not necessarily her ability to take the broader view - to see beyond their own self-interest. As Strawberry helps them broaden their views, young viewers learn a wide array of positive values and actions.

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming
This series focuses on one particular family of Littles - Grandpa, Mom and Dad, Dinky and the two youngest: Tom and Lucy. In their quest to become productive adults, the Littles and their friend Henry face the same kinds of problems that young children face every day - issues of friendship, jealousy, honesty, prejudice, consideration for others, kindness, responsibility, risk-taking...and more. Each episiode of the Littles focuses on one such issue, presenting it in explicit, concrete terms. Young, attractive characters with whom children can identify carry out these actions and serve as excellent role models for young viewers. Younger and older children, boys and girls, loners and social butterflies...all can find a character with whom to identify and from whom to learn. And last but far from least, the character of Grandpa, a wise, experienced, older Little who clearly loves and cares for the Little kids, functions as the kind of non-threatening, non-didactic teacher to whom children respond. He frequently articulates the lesson inherent in the action as he interacts with and advises the Little children. He is the best kind of teacher. The exciting adventures of the Littles and the suspense generated by their frequent narrow escapes from Dr. hunter are designed to capture and hold young viewers' attention. The explicitness with which each lesson is articulated and role models with whom children can identify are designed to ensure that children note and understand the embedded pro-social content as they derive delight from the action.

To guide young people through the entire sequence of amazing events that led to the creation of a new nation, from the homes of ordinary Americans and the meeting halls from Virginia to Massachusetts to the numerous battlefields in the colonies and the royal courts of France and England. 3. To help young people understand the importance of key philosophical, social and political issues at the heart of the American Revolution by setting these issues in actual historical contexts, by having individuals such as Jefferson and Paine explain these issues and by seeing the impact of these issues on the lives of ordinary citizens. And to always do so in ways that are age-appropriate for the target audience.

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming
[Digital and Analog] Series deals with science and the task of making science accessible and understandable. It offers scientific content, scientific theories, the vocabulary and facts of science and the processess of scientific thinking. Experts in both science education and the development needs of this age group have recommended that the children need to focus their learning on the physical sciences and the life sciences along with learning the processes of investigation and experimentation, i.e., (re: PHYSICAL SCIENCE) Beakman discusses and demonstrates the concepts of density and displacement with an experiment explaining why a steel boat floats while a steel bar sinks; and (re: LIFE SCIENCE) Beakman explains the concept of migration and illustrates it with video of migrating birds, butterflies, caribous, salmon and grey whales. As children move from dependence to independence and separate from adult authority, they seek out non-traditional sources of authority. Paul Zaloom's portrayal of Beakman is exactly that - a non-traditional source of authority who answers science questions in non-traditional, quirky, homorous, lively and colorful ways.

[Digital and Analog] Aqua Kids provides core programming in the area of biology and specifically the ecosystem related to the ocean, its tributaries and estuaries. Children can learn about the resources of the oceans and how protection of oceans is necessary to present and future generations. Not only does the show teach biological topics, but it aims to enrich children's lives by making them aware of future generations, the role they play now, and for generations into the future, with the biggest ecosystem on earth - the oceans. Each episode provides information related to a specific topic and gives an educational approach to understand the topic related to the entire ecosystem of the earth. Aqua Kids uses the technique of near peer mentors i.e., children to teach other children. Each episode employs Aqua Kids who ask questions and experience first hand the experience of the topic. For example, children might feed Manatees to experience the graceful, gentle nature of the animal and learn about their biology or dig through piles of silt dredged from the ocean depths to look for shark teeth to understand how shark continually grow teeth and loose old rows of teeth.
