Sid the Science Kid will be celebrating Earth Day (April 22)
with four new episodes, the week of April 18, on PBS Kids. New
episodes of The Jim Henson Company and KCET/Los Angeles animated
preschool show will explore a different science theme related to
the environment. As in every episode, Sid will begin each
episode with a question and spend the day finding answers with
help from his friends and family. The episodes include “Where
Did The Water Go?” (What happens to water that goes down the
drain?) on Monday, April 18; “Clean Air!” (Why does Sid’s dad
wear a mask when he paints?) on April 19, repeating on Earth
Day; “Reused Robot” (Where does trash go when we throw it away?)
on April 20; and “Save The Stump” (Can an old stump be a home
for tiny creatures?) on April 21. Each episode of Sid the
Science Kid focuses on a single scientific concept that is
presented using Preschool Pathways to Science (PrePS), a
practical science readiness curriculum used in preschool
classrooms.
