Is Francesco a penguin? Is Taylor a monkey? Is Emily a bathroom? They might be in Guess Who! Next comes a survival science challenge where the ZOOMers design and build their own tents. Then the ZOOMers respond to viewer letters asking about their cultures. And in ZOOMplayhouse, a rude customer gets what she deserves in Chez Donut! EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES: The ZOOM Into Action segment encourages volunteerism and community service. Through devising an experiment, the science segment encourages problem solving, innovation in design, and testing hypotheses. The segment offers an example of how to create a prototype of a design project.
