In this "Sid the Science Kid" activity, learners make applesauce to explore irreversible change. Learners compare and contrast apples that have been changed by heat with apples that haven't been changed. This activity includes a "Sid the Science Kid" video showing how to conduct the investigation. Safety note: adult supervision required.

In this "Sid the Science Kid" activity, learners get their hands dirty by playing in a container of soil. Then they compare the effectiveness of cleaning their hands with just a paper towel vs. soap and water. Use this activity to introduce the importance of hand-washing and cleanliness. This activity includes a "Sid the Science Kid" video showing how to conduct the investigation.

In this "Sid the Science Kid" activity, learners explore the effects of decay by comparing and contrasting something (an old pumpkin) that's decayed with the same thing before it changes (a fresh pumpkin). Use this activity during the Fall and Halloween! This activity includes a "Sid the Science Kid" video showing how to conduct the investigation.

In this "Sid the Science Kid" activity, learners practice estimating numbers of objects (like shells) and then check their estimates by counting. This activity includes a "Sid the Science Kid" video showing how to conduct the investigation.

In this "Sid the Science Kid" activity, learners use their bodies to measure a room. Instead of inches or feet, how many kids does it take to measure the length of a room? This activity includes a "Sid the Science Kid" video showing how to conduct the investigation.

In this "Sid the Science Kid" activity, learners observe reversible change while thinking about ways to make ice melt. Learners freeze a piece of fruit in an ice cube and then explore ways to get the fruit out of the ice (using warm water to melt the ice, microwaving the fruit cubes, or just waiting). After, learners can enjoy their healthy snack! This activity includes a "Sid the Science Kid" video showing how to conduct the investigation.

In this "Sid the Science Kid" activity, learners observe how plants change as they grow. Learners examine the effects of growth by measuring and recording changes in plants over days and weeks. They'll also learn about how to care for plants. This activity includes a "Sid the Science Kid" video showing how to conduct the investigation.

In this "Sid the Science Kid" activity, learners set up a simple experiment to find out how sunscreen counteracts the effects of the sun. Use this activity to explore various topics including the Sun, weather, and sun-safety and health. This activity includes a "Sid the Science Kid" video showing how to conduct the investigation.

This series of six short animated videos from "Sid, the Science Kid" shows young learners how to use non-standard units to measure the length of large objects. Non-standards units such as hand width or body length are compared with the formal units found on measuring tools.
