This six-episode program is based on a time-consuming effort to involve both the children and their teachers. After asking questions about the origin of life, genetics (“Why don’t we all look alike?”) the law of gravity (“Who makes the Earth go round?”), the solar system, intelligence and knowledge (“Why do we want to know more about everything all the time?”), children first listen to the scientists’ answers and then are invited to draw pictures about what they heard and to retell those explanations in their own words, full of imagination and awe as well as of the typical doubts of the very young who are learning about the world around them. There result several small masterpieces of scientific education which juxtapose the usual pedagogical and descriptive attitude of professional knowledge disseminator to the puzzled and naive behaviour of learning children, whose words are constantly associated to pictures drawn or inspired by them to make their expressions even more meaningful.
