Due to the limited subject matter and activities contained on this program, it does not lend itself to frequent replay. For this reason, it would be best suited to classroom settings, where a larger quantity of children can take advantage of the unit, rather than for the use of a single child at home. George Washington Carver was born as a slave and through hard work and serious study, became a highly recognized scientist. Photographs of George Washington Carver are shown during the narrative about his life and discoveries. There is no animation.
Music accompanies the narrative during the slide show presentation.
