Exploring Your World: Water

Aimed at primary and elementary school audiences, this combination of water lore and science experiments is fast-paced, informative, and engaging for younger viewers. The two-part program examines "The Shape of Water" and "The Uses of Water". The good-natured hosts, Deane Hutton and Rob Morrison, demonstrate how water is shaped by its container, how a river is created, making a rainbow in your backyard, creating giant soap bubbles, making ice cream, etc. Each experiment is carefully tied in to the scientific principle it is meant to illustrate. An excellent program, and one which should be popular with young children. Recommended for primary and elementary school libraries.
