Each show is designed for grades K-5 and is comprised of three key elements: an animated story, Next Generation science lessons, and an interactive host. Learn more about each aspect below.
Every show tells an exciting animated story, featuring kids as our heroes! Their adventures lead them just about everywhere — castles, spooky houses, spaceships ... you name it! We use the characters' experiences throughout the story as a springboard to explore related science concepts.
For example... if, in our story, the power goes out during a thunderstorm, the audience gets to learn all about electricity and what causes blackouts. Then it's back to the story!
Bite-size science lessons complement each story. Online and virtual events feature science lessons taught through captivating video and imagery, while in-person shows feature science experiments performed live at your location — with the help of audience volunteers!
Our science lessons and experiments are rooted in Next Generation Science Standards, ensuring that the content of our show supports the curriculum in the classroom.
The soul of our show! Our enthusiastic and energetic host guides the audience along on their learning adventure. In addition to getting the whole audience up and moving with fun, physical brain breaks, the host leads critical thinking discussions throughout the story.
For example... if, in the story, the characters discover a secret passage, the host will freeze the action to put the audience in the driver's seat. Would you explore the secret passage or keep looking for clues? What might you find inside? After each "what-would-you-do" discussion, the story continues!
The excitement and learning continue even after the story ends! Every show includes all sorts of extras to discover, including hands-on activities and D.I.Y. science experiments to try at home!
In addition, each show comes with its own Teacher's Corner, packed with helpful resources like study guides, vocabulary lists, creative writing activities and critical thinking worksheets.
