"Beakman's World" furthers the educational, information needs of children aged 13 - 16. The entire 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. The scientific content of Beakman's World overlaps with a significant number of the standards for science education that are prevalent in the curricula of today's schools. For example, children in the target age group of 13 to 16 years of age will be in grades 7 through 10.

In the physical science area for instance, Beakman both discussed and demonstrated the concepts of density and displacement with an experiment explaining why a steel boat floats while a steel bar sinks. In the life science area, Beakman explained the concept of migration and illustrated it with video of migrating birds, butterflies, caribou, salmon and grey whales. Throughout the series, Beakman conducts replicable experiments to illustrate the processes of investigation and experimentation. The program is 30 minutes in length and is identified as an educational and informational show, targeted to teens (13-16 years old) at the beginning of each broadcast and in listings provided to publishers of program guide.
