下個世代N*Gen

以驚喜、樂趣,席捲兒童新世代

The next sensation in kids science shows offers some surprises and a lot of fun

 

洛琳‧奧洛里亞曾經認為:「好玩的事都嘛男生才能做;像我這樣的女生有時候還會被忽略。」

但近來,這個來自烏干達坎帕拉十歲小女孩的心境改變了。

現在她表示:「但是,女生可以當科學家,也可以上月球!」

什麼導致洛琳的態度發生如此巨大的轉變?

她是受到電視節N*Gen的啟發;這是一個據說不僅具有教育意義也有著極高娛樂性質0的非洲節目。

N*Gen亦即《下個世代電視飾目》,採用非常二十一世紀的手法來教導科學知識。

該節目結合色彩豐富的影片畫面以及精心製作的圖表、令人難忘的歌曲、居家手作實驗等。

節目設定對象為七歲到十二歲的孩子;其中一些涵蓋主題則包括太空、大腦、消化道、機器人以及化石。

某一集關於食物和消化道的有趣內容,看起來就像是《親愛的,我把孩子縮小了》這部老影中的一幕。

拜科技進步所賜,主持群好像縮小到一口食物的大小;然後,他們出現在人體内,進行從口腔一直到腸道的消化道之旅。

People are talking about it.

She used to think, "It's boys who do all the fun stuff. And sometimes girls like me get a little left out."

And sometimes it felt like the boys got to do all the adventurous things like climb the climbers and roll down the hills, and sometimes we girls just kind of stood back and watched.

Well, fun stuff is the interesting things that you get to do or the exciting things that you get to do.

Now she has had a change of heart.

What does it mean if someone has a change of heart?

That means they used to think one way about something, but now they think differently.

Often this means t the opposite of the way they used to feel.

 

You might use it by saying Karen wanted to sell her car, but she had a change of heart at the last minute and decided not to sell her car.

N*Gen, or Next Generation Television, takes a very 21st century approach to teaching science. The show combines colorful videos with great graphics, memorable songs, at-home experiments and more. It targets 7- to 12-year-olds.

Just a few of the topics they cover include space, the brain, digestion, robots and fossils.

One fun episode on food and digestion looks like a scene from the old movie Honey, I Shrunk the Kids親愛的,我把孩子縮小了. Thanks to technological advances, the presenters seem to shrink to the size of a bite of food. They then appear inside a body and follow the digestion journey from the mouth to the intestines.
