The pedagogical analysis covers how the product supports learning of the identified skills. The student’s role is assessed by four contrary pair parameters, which are selected to cover the most essential aspects on the use of the product.
The following are the high educational quality aspects in this product.
The lesson plans are well drafted and structured.
The chosen tasks are age appropriate and have a clear purpose on the lesson plan. The lessons mainly focus on rehearsing knowledge, which is a justified approach for the target group.
The tutors are motivated and enthusiastic when guiding the student through the lessons and they give positive feedback. Working in small groups enables close observation of the learning process.
The supported learning goals are identified by matching the product with several relevant curricula descriptions on this subject area. The soft skills are definitions of learning goals most relevant for the 21st century. They are formed by taking a reference from different definitions of 21st century skills and Finnish curriculum.

Distinguish between an object and the material from which it is made.
Use the idea that light travels in straight lines to explain why shadows have the same shape as the objects that cast them.
Explain that we see things because light travels from light sources to our eyes or from light sources to objects and then to our eyes.
Use the idea that light travels in straight lines to explain that objects are seen because they give out or reflect light into the eye.
Recognise that light appears to travel in straight lines.
Identify how animals and plants are adapted to suit their environment in different ways and that adaptation may lead to evolution.
Recognise that living things produce offspring of the same kind, but normally offspring vary and are not identical to their parents.
Describe the ways in which nutrients and water are transported within animals, including humans.
Recognise the impact of diet, exercise, drugs and lifestyle on the way their bodies function.
Identify and name the main parts of the human circulatory system, and describe the functions of the heart, blood vessels and blood.
Explain that unsupported objects fall towards the Earth because of the force of gravity acting between the Earth and the falling object.

Describe the Sun, Earth and Moon as approximately spherical bodies.
Describe the movement of the Moon relative to the Earth.
Describe the movement of the Earth, and other planets, relative to the Sun in the solar system.
Describe the life process of reproduction in some plants and animals.
Identify common appliances that run on electricity.

Describe the simple functions of the basic parts of the digestive system in humans.
Recognise that environments can change and that this can sometimes pose dangers to living things.
Explore and use classification keys to help group, identify and name a variety of living things in their local and wider environment.
Recognise that living things can be grouped in a variety of ways.
Predict whether two magnets will attract or repel each other, depending on which poles are facing.
Describe magnets as having two poles.
Compare and group together a variety of everyday materials on the basis of whether they are attracted to a magnet, and identify some magnetic materials.
Observe how magnets attract or repel each other and attract some materials and not others.
Notice that some forces need contact between two objects, but magnetic forces can act at a distance.
Compare how things move on different surfaces.
Find patterns in the way that the size of shadows change.
Recognise that shadows are formed when the light from a light source is blocked by an opaque object.
Recognise that light from the sun can be dangerous and that there are ways to protect their eyes.
Notice that light is reflected from surfaces.
Recognise that they need light in order to see things and that dark is the absence of light.
