Animations for kids - lessons in science communication

摘要

As a father of a two year old, I have significantly changed the TV programs I watch in recent years. One of the first children's shows to become a hit in our household was Dinosaur Train. Notable for its catchy slogans and cool music, this show soon draws you in, teasing out scientific principles and creating a compelling interest in dinosaurs and scientific discovery. The more I watch Dinosaur Train, the more interested I become in how the show is used to engage viewers in scientific research.
