HOW TO KNOW IF SOMETHING IS ALIVE? cover image
This short film offers a fun and interactive way that young children can learn about different things that happen in the natural world. The characters are cute and personable and their vocabulary is definitely age appropriate for its intended audience.

Using V-Tubing, this short film anthropomorphizes plants and creatures you can find in your garden into friends and teachers, fostering a deeper connection with the natural world. Sunny the Sunflower navigates through different natural environments during a tornado trying to remember who she is and what her name is with the help of a shark, an otter and an owl. This film helps engage students in STEM learning, while sparking curiosity and care for the one planet we have to call home.

This short animated film offers environmental lessons in an entertaining format through talking plants and animals. The visuals also include live action shots of various creatures, big and small. It also poses questions for kids to answer about things in nature. It's a cute format, simply put together in such a way that kids can easily watch and learn on their own, or be guided by an older person. The need for environmental education is more critical now than ever before and this short film helps deliver messages that little ones can easily understand and learn from.

The film's intent is to teach young children about things that happen in the natural world and emphasize the importance of protecting our environment.

I give How To Know If Something Is Alive? 3.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 5 to 8, plus adults. By Julie S., KIDS FIRST!
