Abstract
Pedagogical agents are used to create effective educational software for children. We present the multimedia software for teaching natural sciences to 10-12 year old children. In this system, pedagogical agents, a teacher and two pupils are taking a walk through the virtual islands "Matter", "Forces" and "Physical phenomena". To create the multimedia software for natural sciences teaching, a new authoring environment, both technology-effective and functionally-rich, has been designed.
