This preschool science series uses a sketch-comedy format to promote science readiness. The project is based on the premise that young children have an innate interest in science, as expressed through their curiosity about and questioning of the world around them. The second season will build on the success of the series by adding a science museum location, new characters (including a scientist parent), and introducing more scientific topics. The curriculum is rooted in national content standards for STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics). This grant supports season 2 funding for the broadcast program production, Web site, outreach, and ancillary activities.
