Sid the Science Kid

Finally a show that's adorable and teaches science without being too heavy handed or unappealing to kids. I'm so glad we found it for my almost 5-year-old.

This show is stupid and it is a rip off to Bill Nye The Science Guy. It is one of the worst TV shows in PBS Kids history but Barney is way worse than Sid the Science Kid. Also it was great when it got canceled in 2013.

This show was shown to me when I was in the "target audience" and I thought it was a punishment. Every episode is exactly the same, the animation is terrible, the voice acting is bad, and its BORING.

Whoever says that this show sucks or that the voice acting is bad is just wrong. Not only does the show teach science in a fun an entertaining way, but the sound and animation quality is actually pretty good considering the fact that the show came out in 2008. If you want to help inspire your children to get outside and start learning about the world, give them this show.

This charming program follows a boy named Sid, a very curious kid, through a school day. Sid starts the day with a question, and the class explores the science behind it with simple experiments and class discussion. The program's tone is very light and humorous, filled with lots of music and jokes, and it is effective for teaching natural science. The show is CG animated, but it contains live-action segments of kids in school performing experiments. Sid himself appears to be in first or second grade, but the show is aimed at pre-K and kindergärtners too, as there is no reading involved, just a lot of music and exploration.
