How it’s Made
How It is Made is a long running documentary series originally aired on Discovery owned networks that takes viewers inside factories to show how everyday objects and foods are designed and assembled. Each short segment walks through the complete production process of items such as crayons, guitars, or chocolate bars, using clear narration and detailed footage. While not a curriculum, the show naturally highlights engineering, materials science, and industrial design concepts. Families use How It is Made episodes as a springboard for unit studies on manufacturing, economics, or specific products, often pausing to discuss steps and imagine improvements or alternatives.
