Having recently completely our second series of\u00a0 animated films<\/a> for the Royal Observatory Greenwich<\/a>, we realised that we have now produced films on the subject of Science, aimed at each of the 5 key stages that make up the UK Educational System.\u00a0This seems like a great opportunity to talk about the different requirements of producing educational content for each age group, and the challenges that we faced with each series of films.<\/p>\n For BBC Bitesize<\/a>, we created a series of explainer films<\/a> to answer science based questions such as \u2018what is a magnet\u2019, \u2018what is a force\u2019 and \u2018what is gravity?\u2019, aimed at the KS1 audience. These films were part of our \u2018extremely deadly conundrums\u2019<\/a> series, where the long-suffering characters found themselves burnt to a crisp, dropped out of\u00a0 aeroplanes or flattened by a walrus on a regular basis, because there\u2019s little a 7 year old enjoys more than gratuitous, cartoon-style violence.<\/p>\nKey stage 1 (5-7 years)<\/h3>\n
