Mythbusters Jr.

Saw a kid explaining how a drill is connected to a pulley using a belt? Then see him hammering a rim where he attached duct tape?? Finally into a backstory of him building building a project "when he was little". Currently 15 and 12 when he built it???

That was it. Could not take anymore. Don't get me wrong; I'm sure this will be great for the 'tween' crowd. If your are over 18 then don't bother.

Great idea for kids. Was looking forward to the program but it's just not the same.

I believe that Mythbusters Jr. Is a good idea for the show because it shows how children can learn science and technology through interesting and fun experiments, how interesting and engaging science can be, this TV show inspires the younger generation to learn science.

The show demonstrates how the scientific method works, how to formulate hypotheses, make observations and draw conclusions. The show entertains, thanks to the humor and charisma of the presenters and participants, and educates, educates the audience about the various phenomena and principles that underlie our world. The show also inspires children's own creativity and ingenuity, as well as teaching them teamwork and problem solving.

The show has a good balance between humor and seriousness, as well as between complexity and accessibility. The experiments aren't too simple to be boring, but they're not too complicated to be incomprehensible. The show explains all the steps and results of the experiments with the help of graphics, animation and comments from the hosts.

We are delighted with this scientific series that explains various phenomena and phenomena in an accessible and engaging way. We liked all the episodes, but I especially remember the series about whether it is really impossible to make mayonnaise during a thunderstorm. We learned a lot of new and interesting things about electricity, emulsions and chemical reactions.

I recommend Mythbusters Jr. To anyone who loves science, technology, or just wants to watch something fun and educational.

We're now 4 episodes in, so we've reached a point where I feel I can rate this show. The fourth episode, where they crush a car with dominoes and try to pull the bottom Jenga block out of a stack, is what proved to me this show is going to succeed.

Previous episodes tended to touch on the novelty of the kids doing things above their age level - like a 12 year old driving a car on a closed course. That's fine, but not really what the show is about. Now that we're up to episode 4 we're finally getting past some of that novelty and getting into the core of what makes Mythbusters a great show to watch.

To illustrate I'll talk about episode 4 a bit more. This episode really played to the strengths of the various kids and the process of Mythbusters: Scaled down experiments to get data, doing the math and figuring out how to proceed (the smart kid), scaling things up through builders (the girl who fabricates and the guy who welds), right up to the actual test.

A number of methods of going about the Jenga blocks were devised by the kids and tested. Simple stuff like pulling the block with a bicycle, to a more complex bungee arrangement, up to a robotic pneumatic rig. The great thing with this is presents ideas and methodology across a spectrum that makes it accessible to everyone (I don't have a pneumatic actuator, but I do have bungee cords and a bicycle, and even if kids do not actually attempt these things, they at least can visualize themselves doing it and think about the process or how THEY would go about it).

If this show continues to produce episodes at the level of Episode 4 then it's going to do very well, en par with the original Mythbusters.

My kids always loved mythbusters. This show just makes it better and are more interested in STEM prodjects. Thank you Mythbusters
