The CURIOUS GEORGE^® series aims to show caregivers and educators how to foster the development of science and math literacy in children. In addition to programming, the series is supported by a substantial educational outreach campaign that develops relevant materials and distributes them to librarians, teachers, community centers, and families. These materials offer activities designed to support and extend the learning objectives of the series. Some of these resources are available here on the Get Curious, Pittsburgh! site; click on the "activities and more" section to explore. Additional educator resources are available here. Curious George educator resources are aligned with Pennsylvania, NSES, and AAAS standards; visit PBS Teachers' Domain to learn more.
