Sid the Science Kid

Sid the Science Kid is a preschool science series from The Jim Henson Company and PBS Kids that follows curious Sid as he investigates everyday questions about health, weather, and simple machines. Each episode models the inquiry cycle: asking a question, making predictions, trying hands‑on experiments, and sharing results. Parents appreciate that the show feels gentle and character‑driven while still introducing real vocabulary like “hypothesis” and “measurement.” For homeschoolers, Sid works well as a springboard into simple home experiments or nature walks. Episodes stream for free on PBS Kids and some platforms, so families get a full, soft‑entry science curriculum for the cost of a good internet connection.
