Sid the Science Kid

Sid is a young boy who loves asking questions. Every morning he wonders about how things work. He goes to school to find the answers. His teacher and friends help him learn. The show makes science fun and easy to understand.

How Sid Learns

Sid asks a new science question each day. He talks with his mom and dad at breakfast. Then at school, he does experiments with friends. They test their ideas and share what they learn. This helps kids at home learn too.

Made with Motion Capture

Sid the Science Kid uses a special kind of animation. Actors wear suits with dots on them. Computers track their movements. Then the computer makes the characters move just like the actors. This is called motion capture.
