This program explores some historical and modern day work roles for horses. Four different horses are observed working with their handlers. The programs look at the physical and mental characteristics of horses that help them in their work and the way handlers value their horses and communicate with them. Through the use of historic footage and photos the program looks at life before cars and shows why some ways of using working horses have changed from the past to the present day and that horses are still bettter than machines for some forms of work. The program also explains and demonstrates some basic safety rules that should be observed when around horses. The lives of working animals are explored in these two episodes. Programs highlight the special features of animals that can make them more suited to certain tasks than people or machines and that, like all good working relationships, these ones are based on clear communication and mutual respect. For the Juniors, for students aged 6-8 years, aims to stimulate children's curiosity and imagination, widen their horizons and encourage them to explore their environment, present enjoyable experiences which relate broadly to the lives and interests of the children and raise issues. Each series is arranged in groups of programs relating to a particular theme.

Successive shots of the same locations at different times of the year illustrate the changing life cycle of trees, from green growth through to autumn leaves and bare branches. Children talk about the different foods they like to eat when it's cold. Finally, viewers are shown how to read and interpret temperature using a thermometer.

Different scenarios encourage young viewers to think about how rain affects them. We explore different ways to predict rain, and learn about the water cycle with the aid of a simple graphic. Successive shots showing dams, a reservoir and a creek, at different times of the year, illustrate how rain can change the water level in some places.

We visit a city beach and see some of the activities that happen before most people arrive - rubbish collection, a beach cleaning machine in action, lifeguards checking for the safest part of beach.

This program looks at how mangroves have adapted to their wet, salty, tidal environment. We find that mangroves are also essential for many creatures like prawns, crabs and fish.

This program shows how milk gets from the cow to the table. To produce milk cows need lush green grass and a calf, as they produce milk as food for their calves. While the calves are drinking their mother's milk the cow continues to produce milk. Dairy farmers take the calves away but milk the cows so the cows bodies thinks they are still feeding their calves, but they are really producing milk for the farmer to sell.

For many Australian children, hot days mean holidays and this program opens with summer scenes at the beach. A weather forecaster sets the mood and suggests some ways to protect skin from damage by the sun. Viewers are encouraged to think about the sort of hot weather they experience - is it hot and dry or hot and humid?

Why does our body need oxygen, food and water to stay alive? Our body has some if its own ways to look after itself but we need to look after our body as we grow and get old. This includes giving it healthy food, exercise to make our heart and muscles strong, wearing appropriate clothing for the seasons to keep us warm, cool or dry and protecting our skin from the sun. What do we do every day to look after our body?

This program focuses on the body in action using its skeleton and muscles from babyhood to old age. Our skeleton has joints so we can move our body into different shapes but it needs muscles to make it move.

This program follows the morning routine of a young boy, and looks at how his body works as a system. He uses his muscles and bones to get out of bed, and as he yawns, the program explains how his lungs, blood and heart work. As he eats his breakfast the program looks at his digestive system and introduces his brain as the control centre of the body to make all these things happen.

A young girl going on her first plane trip forms the base for this exploration into the wonder of air travel.

A young boy is asleep in his boat, dreaming of finding buried treasure. As he dreams the program explores some different water transport options and looks at the basic science of how they work. Water vehicles include Aboriginal bark canoes, sailing ships and modern watercraft such as cargo ships and sophisticated racing vessels.

From the invention of the wheel to the wonder of solar-powered cars, this program explores different forms of land transport. It opens with images of students making their way to school. Among them are three children who, though they live close to each other and attend the same school, travel in separate cars. This encourages young viewers to think about the transport modes they rely on.

Not only are two cave environments looked at in this program, but also the rainforests outside the wilderness cave and the tourist cave. The progress of experienced caver and entomologist Stefan Eberhard is followed as he progresses into the depths of the wilderness cave and shares his discovery of some of the rare inhabitants.

Carmel is having a birthday party and we join her family as they prepare for the event. We see a cultural mix of popular party games and explore the history of birthday traditions such as blowing out candles on a cake and making a wish.

The five senses are our contact with the world and can protect us from danger - just like animals. Not everyone has five senses. This program looks at how blind and deaf children can use their other senses to compensate.

It may appear, at first, that this program is about a guy and two girls who rent an old house in an old suburb. But the program revolves around the lives of the many minibeasts who also live there. The hall spider, the kitchen cockroach, the bedroom beetle, the bathroom scorpion and the house centipede, to name just a few, are very comfortable in such a place.

An old quarry that fills with rainwater is only a few hundred metres away from a city suburb. Every day people walk past it to exercise dogs, or to enjoy an escape into the bush. Very few stop to look closely at the amazing variety of minibeast life that lives around, in and on the pond.

Is it picky eating, or a food disorder? Some children who appear to be fussy eaters actually have an eating disorder which makes them fearful of eating. Those who suffer from avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), a newly categorised eating disorder, find the very sight of food makes them feel sick, and this program explores this eating disorder. This is an intimate, inside look at the daily lives of very selective eaters and ARFID sufferers. It touches on subjects that affect everyone: our perceptions of taste, our parenting skills, and how phobias and dislikes are formed.
