How to Find Out is a unit of the Channel 4 Schools series Stop, Look, Listen from the 1990s, covering history for primary school pupils.

Programmes showing children how to investigate the world around them, and in particular finding evidence of historical changes.

These programmes were made for the newly-launched Channel 4 Schools service, but they are a continuation of the traditional Stop, Look, Listen programmes made for the earlier ITV Schools service by Central Independent Television. Although these were the final Stop, Look, Listen programmes produced under the name 'Central', some of the same production team would continue to work on the series under the auspices of Carlton Television, which took over Central and replaced its name. People Who Help Us, Stories of Faith and Streetwise fell under these arrangements.

Established Stop, Look, Listen presenters Matthew Kelly and Bryonie Pritchard continue to be involved - Kelly presents the 3rd & 4th episodes, appearing on screen for the first time to get involved in the Robin Hood investigaton (pictured on the front of the teacher's notes, below). The 2nd episode is presented by a child called Simon, with child presenters having also been established for Stop, Look, Listen in the previous year.

The 5th episode on Castles is a revised version of the Castles episode shown the previous year, with Bryonie Pritchard re-recording much of the narration that Matthew Kelly had delivered in 1992.

The first episode on Changes Since 1945 has a different production team than the others in this unit (it is produced by Yvonne Davies and directed by McDonald Brown, whilst the other episodes are all produced and directed by Diane Campbell, all for Central Television) but I don't know if this represents changes in production for the Channel 4 era or if the Changes in 1945 episode is actually a repeat of a programme made for a different series.
