Episodes

  • It's Alive!

    What’s the world like where you live?  Is it hot?  Cold?  Wet?  Dry?  In this episode of Science and Me, Molecular Mike looks at different kinds of environments, plus the living and nonliving things we find in them!  We’ll see how living things can be very different and adapt to surviving in many places.

  • Growing and Knowing

    My, how you’ve grown! In this episode of Science and Me, Molecular Mike looks at how people and other living things grow and change over time. Most living things grow up to look like their parents and can even look very similar to other living things. So how, exactly, do we tell them apart?...

  • Science Sense

    Have you ever tried to figure out how something works or why something happens? That’s what scientists do! In this episode of Science and Me, Molecular Mike investigates the kinds of things scientists do to learn about our world. Time to make some close observations!

  • Wild Worlds

    Living things depend on one another to stay alive. Look at you! People depend on plants and other living things for food, clothing, shelter, and all sorts of things we need. In this episode of Science and Me, Molecular Mike looks at the ways living things need and help one another!

  • Weather or Not

    The weather makes changes to our planet Earth, and so do people! In this episode of Science and Me, Molecular Mike looks at ways that weather patterns make natural changes to the Earth, as well as ways people change the Earth and how we can protect it from harm.

  • Reaching for the Stars

    What could possibly be out there beyond our world?  Outer space is not just empty space.  In this episode of Science and Me, Molecular Mike helps us learn about the Sun, planets, stars, and all kinds of things floating around out there! Time to rocket into fun on a trip to worlds beyond our own!

  • Our Space in Space

    We can find plants just about everywhere on Earth!  In this episode of Science and Me, Molecular Mike takes a closer look at these amazing living things.  We’ll find out about roots, stems, leaves, and all the things plants need to live.  Time to grab your shovel and dig into some science fun!

  • Tree of Life

    The Sun, Moon, and stars appear to move slowly across the sky every day. Where are they going? In this episode of Science and Me, Molecular Mike shows us how these objects seem to move and change. Not everything is as it appears, though! (They’re not the only ones moving...)

  • A Force, of Course

    Pushing and pulling - we do it all the time! Forces get things moving in all different directions! In this episode of Science and Me, Molecular Mike looks at the forces that move things all around us, and the different ways that all this pushing and pulling changes motion and makes machines work.

  • What's the Matter?

    Solids, and liquids, and gases! Oh, my! In this episode of Science and Me, Molecular Mike helps us figure out what’s what in the world of matter. Our host guides us as we learn about the many ways that matter makes up our world as solids, liquids, and gases. We’ll also see how matter goes through changes everyday - right before our eyes!

  • Matter Matters

    Matter is made of stuff. All kinds of stuff! In this episode of Science and Me, Molecular Mike shows us ways to describe matter and also helps us take a closer look at smaller parts matter is made of. Get ready to take a look around and see your world in a new way!

  • Energetic Energy

    Just what is energy, anyway? In this episode of Science and Me, Molecular Mike helps us to figure out the answer to this puzzling question! We’ll learn about ways that we use energy, how the Sun provides energy for all kinds of things to happen on our planet, and ways in which light and heat are used every day.

  • Energy Encounters

    All the living things in the world need energy to survive, and so do you! In this episode of Science and Me, Molecular Mike looks at how living things get their energy, and how different kinds of energy move through systems. Grab a sandwich, a drink, and get ready to be energized!

  • Moving Right Along

    Things are moving all around us all the time! We’re always on the move, too. In this episode of Science and Me, Molecular Mike helps us to figure out the different ways people move from one place to another, and some of the ways that different things move at different speeds.

  • As The World Turns

    Our planet Earth is an amazing place! From large boulders to tiny grains of sand, our planet houses things of all different shapes and sizes. In this episode of Science and Me, Molecular Mike looks at both living and nonliving things on our Earth and where they can be found.

  • Tech Tools

    People use all different kinds of tools to investigate our world.  It’s important for us to work together and share information about what we learn!  In this episode of Science and Me, Molecular Mike shows us ways that people gather scientific information and look for patterns in nature.
