Our family spends a lot of time outside, learning about science and nature the old-fashioned way but we do have our downtime and these are two great kid's science shows we enjoy.
Sid the Science Kid - We had stumbled on this awhile back and saw it maybe twice, then this week Cali started talking about it so I set it up on DVR as her new favorite show of the week. Its on PBS at 8am Central. "Sid" is a fun, upbeat, curious kid who looks to his family, friends, teacher, and his own observations to figure out questions like "why do my grandma's glasses make my vision worse, but it helps her to see better?" or "why can I still smell my baby brother's diaper even after he left the room?"
Bindi the Jungle Girl - Another one we'd seen a few times and just discovered again. My kids both LOVE animals and this is basically G-rated Discovery channel (ok it IS on Discovery Kids so duh). Lots of fun info, lots of animal close-ups. Diego especially loves all the creepy-crawlies. Drawback: they have commercials on this channel. Its on at 4 Central.

Do your kids like zoboomafoo? It's on Sprout, and Kate loves watching it. She learns a lot about animals that way.
