PBS Kids has a new Jim Henson Company show intended to get the preschool set interested in science. Sid the Science Kid is a five year old who is trying to figure out how and why the world around him works. Here is the description of a couple of the first shows:
The Sticker Chart (#101) Duration: 28:46 CC Stereo TVY
If Sid doesn't fill up his chore chart with stickers, he'll never get a new Turbo-Mega-Rocket ship toy. So, Sid wonders, who needs charts anyway? After a day of investigating, Sid learns that charts are great science tools that help you compare and contrast all kinds of cool stuff like snacks, pets and even chores!
The Rolie Polie (#102) Duration: 28:46 CC Stereo TVY
Sid loves his little rolie polie bugs, but they're so little he can't figure out how they move. At school, he discovers an amazing science tool: the magnifying glass! Sid and his friends explore their world using the magnifying glass to make things look bigger, like freckles on their skin, little pebbles and rolie polie legs!
