Educational Value and Perspective Shift
The production uses detailed imagery to clearly explain scientific processes. From the perspective of tiny insects, children observe the cosmos and gain entirely new insights into nature. Central questions of biology lessons are answered in a child-friendly manner: How is a tree structured? What makes leaves green? How do trees grow, and how does water travel from the roots against gravity up to the canopy? Photosynthesis and the importance of the sun for oxygen production are also explained. Before every main show, the current seasonal night sky is also explained.
