[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 processes 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, humorous, lively and colorful ways.

[Digital and Analog] WINX CLUB utilizes fairy castles, magical caverns and timeless villages as a backdrop for coming-of-age lessons, group problem-solving, cooperative investigations and the important social and emotional learning opportunities that children need to develop the valuable emotional competencies of resilience, empathy and self-confidence. In each episode, as a conflict arises, the fairies pool together their unique capabilities to find a solution comprised of their special talents. Life scenarios that commonly worry children--from feeling vulnerable and powerless to being lost or separated from loved ones--are enacted throughout the series, and a variety of practical behavioral solutions are presented. WINX CLUB promotes the development of social skills, with actions such as speaking kindly to others, doing good for one's community, and managing anger appropriately, integrated into the show's humor. These social competencies are now considered legitimate and necessary objectives of school curricula.

[Digital and Analog] "Degrassi: the Next Generation" series was designed for middle-and high-school-aged children and adolescents, and addresses important age-relevant topics in a direct and honest fashion. While adolescents will certainly have some awareness of issues presented, the series provides vivid representations of dilemmas along with solid information about how they can be handled. Many of these problems emerge from within the peer culture as well as occasionally from expectations and conflicts that adults may be experiencing. Resolutions emerge through peer discussions and direct experiences. Viewing these situations in the often entertaining and engrossing format of the series may also yield opportunities for teenagers to express any concerns they may have about their own choices and the consequences portrayed in each episode. The Degrassi series exemplifies topics such as bullying, cliques, dating, sexuality concerns, conflicts between friends, relationships with teachers and parents, substance abuse, and school pressures (both intellectual and social). All of these problems reflect concerns youth may encounter in the sometimes-tumultuous world of middle school and high school. The series also addresses the difficulties and opportunities for communication between adolescents and their parents and teachers. Often youth may have difficulty recognizing or expressing and confronting their own issues. Degrassi can act as a catalyst for young people who may be experiencing some of the problems presented on the show. Guides on the Internet are provided for the episodes to parents and teachers to talk with young people. The recurring casts of characters who appear in Degrassi represent a diversity of personalities, ethnic backgrounds, body types and class distinctions, affording the viewers opportunities for identification or modeling behaviors. Each character may demonstrate flaws or misgivings as they experience opportunities for overcoming difficulties, for helping others, and for improving their own character.
