Host, science educator, and leader in the field of professional educational training, Steve Spangler, encourages the discovery of scientific concepts through experiments viewers can do at home. With a fun, relaxed attitude, Steve will take viewers through step by step demonstrations of do it yourself experiments that amaze but which also relate back to solid principles of science. For instance, Steve Spangler became nationally known with a video of him dropping the candy Mentos into a bottle of diet soda. It erupts in a geyser of soda. On XPLORATION DIY Sci, Spangler demonstrates the experiment and also explains the science of why, on a molecular level, the soda reacts that way to the candy.

This series, produced in partnership with National Geographic Kids, is hosted by the brother-sister team of Charlie and Kirby Engleman. Charlie is an Ecologist and Kirby is an Artist, and they are both National Geographic Junior Explorers.

In this series, Charlie and Kirby explore a new topic each week to uncover the Weird But True science at play all around us. With a mix of graphics and handmade art, this EI series is fun, playful and educational. For instance, in the first episode, our hosts are curious to learn about asteroids and so they set off to explore the biggest meteor crater in the US and meet a real-life meteorite hunter. They also try their hand at tracking down space rocks. Along the way, they discover that meteor crash sites can turn into quicksand. On XPLORATION Weird But True, Charlie and Kirby inspire teens to question the HOW and WHY behind the way our world works, and encourage them to discover answers to their most curious questions. XPLORATION Weird But True is a half hour weekly EI series produced with the intention of increasing and expanding our target audience interest in the field of STEM education. This series will help teens and viewers of all ages learn to question the world around them. |

With a fun, relaxed attitude, Steve will take viewers through step by step demonstrations of do it yourself experiments that amaze but which also relate back to solid principles of science. For instance, Steve Spangler became nationally known with a video of him dropping the candy Mentos into a bottle of diet soda. It erupts in a geyser of soda. On XPLORATION DIY Sci, Spangler demonstrates the experiment and also explains the science of why, on a molecular level, the soda reacts that way to the candy. XPLORATION DIY Sci is a half hour weekly EI series produced with the intention of increasing and expanding our target audience interest in the field of STEM education. This series will help kids understand how they can discover the principles of science with items they can find in their very own home. |
