Let's Find Out- Protecting Planet Earth! (Greenhouse Effect) is great as an educational film for early elementary science. There is a lot of talking about scientific aspects. It is similar to Sesame Street in the way the characters are included and their voice.

Two scientists, Mark Langry and Amy Hassett are joined by an alien Muppet character named Zoom and they go on a fun, educational adventure exploring different aspects of climate change. The main issue to solve is how greenhouse gasses severely increase global warming and climate change. They team up with some elementary students to conduct experiments and teach kids about climate change by making greenhouses. This is from Ireland, with dialogue that has a lovely Irish accent to it.

The show's pace is really quick because it tries to fit a lot of information into a short period of time. I like how the animation shifts to realism and back again to animation. It is very upbeat and positive, without talking down to kids or being trivial. There are three main characters - Mark Langry, Amy Hassett, and the alien named Zoom, voiced by Charlie Wolfe. Mark and Amy focus on explaining things very clearly using vocabulary that is appropriate for school aged kids. The three adventurers begin observing the Earth from their spaceship, which is cleverly created using greenscreen technology and animation. Later, they zoom down to Earth to visit kids at a school. Amy is in a wheelchair, but that never restricts her participation in any way. I love the animated props they use, because everything looks futuristic, but based on technology we are familiar with today. I love the part when their spaceship lands in the school yard. My favorite part is when two elementary students conduct a science experiment based on greenhouses. It reminds me of PBS Kids shows. I love the music at the end. It's fun and completely dance-able.

The film's message is that humans need to stop destroying mother nature because it's leading to not so good things on Earth like global warming and climate change.

I give Let's Find Out- Protecting Planet Earth! (Greenhouse Effect) 3.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 5 to 12. This film qualifies as an environmental film because it emphasizes the importance of global warming and how humans need to modify their behavior in order to protect the Earth.

From taking the bus or hopping on a bike a bit more often, to showing how seaweed might help cows make better burps, this fun show features ways to protect our planet that are achievable and fun! With scientists Mark Langry and Amy Hassett and an alien called Zoom, this season is dedicated to the themes of climate action, biodiversity, sustainability and the circular economy.
