Sid the Science Kid: Change Happens

We currently own this DVD, as well as The Bug Club, Inside and Out, and The Ruler of Thumb. They are all fantastic. My son became a big fan of Sid after watching PBS in the morning, but started sleeping in later and missing it, so I bought the DVDs. They were well worth the money and have been watched over and over again. My son really began to enjoy this show when he was around 9 months old, and at 15 months he still loves it and I have a feeling we'll be watching them and buying the new DVDs as they come out for a long time. It's a great show for your child to grow with and is very cute and educational (I've learned a few things myself), and we find ourselves watching them even when he's not! My son loves music, and he really loves the songs in this show. I like the fact that most of the songs repeat in every episode so that he has learned to recognize them and I'm sure he will quickly learn the words when he gets older. Definitely, definitely recommend this television series to kids as young as 6 months and all the way up to preschool and kindergarten.

My 4 year old daughter loves watching Sid, and I don't really mind either! This is a great show thanks to the different subject matter than other kids shows. You don't find many that have to do with Science and this show is educational AND fun to watch. That makes a great show for my 4 year old and I don't feel guilty for letting her watch TV when she watches educational shows like this one. This is my 2nd Sid DVD I have bought from Amazon.com and this one was just as expected: new in packaging and my daughter loved watched the whole DVD in one sitting.My only complaint, and it's a little one at that, is that it took a while to get delivered to me. This was probably my fault for choosing the free Super Saver shipping though. Every time I opt for the free shipping option the packages take a while and seem to go out of the way before they get to me. I guess that's what I get for picking the free option.

If you have a young child, then Sid the Science Kid is just right for you. So far any DVD I have purchased has been quality viewing and well worth the money. Sid proves that many science concepts are accessible to young kids when presented in the right way. Science is all around these little guys, and they want to know.This DVD contains four episodes: My mushy banana, My Shrinking Shoes, My Ice Pops, and The Perfect Pancake. Yes, my child learns, but the best thing is the sound of my kid's laughter as he watches.

Whoever came up with Sid is a genius. Sid the science kid is not only a cartoon, it's an informative concept on whatever the story of the day is. All of my grandkids love it! And they ask ME questions...."grandma, did u know"...? How great is that!

I ordered this DVD for my three year old grandchild. She loves watching it over and over. Grandma enjoys it too and even learned a few new things. Great product for children and adults alike and great price.

Our great grand kids like these movies so they have watched this one with interest.

Bought this series to begin introducing my son to the idea of science before Kindergarten and I'm a little dissappointed. The theory is good with each episode being based on one idea but the content comes off bland in the preschool setting and never actually gets in depth on anything. I know the kids enjoy the songs and dancing but between the song on the way there, rug time song and others they waste a lot of the episode on things that have nothing to do with the topic being discussed. Basically I just think this series is so so. I really wanted to love it because of the educational aspect but its just not great. We will be moving on to magic school bus soon and these videos will go away.

Sid the Science Kid has great lessons for kids to learn. They are fun to watch and the kids are learning even though they don't know realize it at the time. Great learning tool!

My grandchildren really liked this.

This DVD is so fun and educational. It is only in English, which is too bad! Sid learns about "decay" (which taught my son a lot!) and about various other topics. I think they are "melting" (what happens when ice melts--can it revert back to its liquid state?) and "cooking" (what happens when you cook a pancake--can it revert back to its liquid state?) and "growth" (Sid's shoes get too small.) The science is really great.

初めて見たときは、登場人物（特に大人の）表情が怖く思えて「失敗した・・・？」とも思いました。眼をむき出しでしゃべったりしてなんか怖いんです（笑）見慣れると怖さは減りますが、「まるでアメリカ人が自分たちをカリカチュアしてるみたい」とも思えるほど大げさな表情、動き・・・芸人の友近に「新しいキャラ作りの参考に」のメッセージとともにこのDVDを送りたいほど「まさにアメリカンな表情、動き」満載でなんか笑えてきます。個人的にはSIDの友人ガブリエラがかわいくてたまらなくなりました。メガネっ子のメイ（おとなしめ女子）でさえ華麗にダンスするので「のび太には絶対に無理・・・」と日米の違いを感じます。内容はとても良くて、幼児が疑問に思うことを観察を通して考えさせ、〆は先生がその結論を歌ってくれます。SIDは幼稚園の仲間を紹介する際にもかっこよく歌ったり、いつもマイク片手に視聴者に話しかけたりして、およそ幼稚園児とは思えぬCOOLさです。(SIDはschoolと言っていますが…園庭の風景や先生とのやりとりから幼稚園のように思います）3歳の息子のツボに嵌ったみたいで何回も見たがるし、内容も良いので、また購入するつもりです。このDVDでは、「なぜバナナは黒くなったの？」→時間の経過とともに物が腐る（朽ちる）ということを学ぶ「なぜ靴が縮んだの？」→靴が小さくなったのではなく自分が大きくなった、成長について学ぶ他に２話、合計４話入っています。

DORAを何本か見たので、新しい英語のDVDをさがしていました。歌と踊りの好きな息子にはピッタリだったようで、お気に入りです(^^)物の腐っていく様子の、実際の映像もあったり、お勉強にもなりそうです。
