Kids meet the animals first-hand and see on-the-spot interviews with zoologists and experts on animal behaviour. * Tomorrow Today: Looks at the future from a kid's point of view, brings kids into working laboratories. * Real Kids features youths who are actively involved in trying to develop their environment. These are kids who are not afraid to try. Real Kids nurtures the idea that individuals of any age can make a difference. * You and Your Body: Kids learn about themselves with the help of a wise and funny skeleton named Bonepart (voiced by Michael Lennick). * Boneparte shares his energy for individual action on behalf of the environment. * Dr. Zed discovers the connections between nature and science and shows kids exciting experiments. * The Hoot Club Kids: Set up and work through a project, solving production/performance problems, experimenting with materials, interacting with their community and environment.
