Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. DIY SCI goes beyond the booms, bangs, fizzes and flickers to explain to kids how the scientific lessons from each experiment are also being used out in the real world by actual scientists. This how-to, magazine format mash-up comes together in a dazzling visual display that is as informative as it is entertaining. Each week, host Steve Spangler conducts a series of eye-popping experiments using only accessible items. Trashcan smoke-hooters, fizzy soda eruptions and ping-pong ball cannons are all fair game in this do-it-yourself science show that's fun for the whole family.
