Ask Grandpa is a science series of shorts video clips targeted at viewers aged 8-11. A young and inquisitive Sarah visits her Grandpa Hakim, challenging him to explain a burning issue that has cropped up which she doesn’t understand.
The setting is his garage, which doubles as a science lab/workshop. Charming Grandpa Hakim, who thinks of himself as a master inventor, is passionate about creating visual explanations of how things work. He has all manner of
everyday equipment and materials to bring his ideas to life.
In this episode, Sarah has been suffering from stomach-ache which provides Grandpa with the perfect opportunity to construct an entire digestive system, utilizing other bits and pieces lying around his workshop. In this way, young
viewers are treated to an entertaining, and highly visual explanation of how the digestive system works. The motivation is to engage, enthuse and entertain young viewers in the fascinating and varied branches of science. Providing real life examples and explanations to help children retain the learning they crave, and encourages them to ask for the explanations behind everyday issues, which will strengthen their minds, as they discover and understand the answers
or solutions.
