Dragonfly TV on PBS

PBS's Dragonfly TV is a new and hip, must-see science show for kids 9-12 years old.  The show's fast cuts, cool soundtrack, and energetic hosts help teach kids about real science by taking them out of the classroom and into the real world. 

Dragonfly TV encourages its viewers to develop scientific interests beyond the limits of the television show by featuring ordinary children making their own science discoveries.

One episode features two figure skaters searching for a new way to spin without getting dizzy, an experiment to determine the growth patterns of various animals, as well as kart racers using an on-board computer system to find the optimal gear-ratio to win a race.  The show also features a scientist explaining how science helps him invent delicious new ice cream flavors.

We highly recommend this wholesome and educational program.  It contains no instances of offensive language, violence, or sex.

Dragonfly TV, the only all-science show for kids succeeds in bringing real science to ordinary kids, by combining children's innate interest in science with a fun program format.

If you have a child between the ages of 9 and 12 who is interested in science and would like to be on Dragonfly TV, visit their website at http://pbskids.org/dragonflytv/
