Sproutnicks Science for young learners

Four presenters, one question, one experiment.

Kenji, Leo, Mia and Chloe explore why things fall, why magnets stick, and where rain comes from. Every episode chases one good question, and doesn’t stop until it is answered.

How it works

Shorts for the quick question. Full episodes for the whole story.

Every video opens mid-experiment, the exact moment a real question shows up. One presenter explains, another keeps pushing with "but why?", which is usually the same question you’re about to be asked at home.

Asked one already? Read our answers to the questions young learners ask, each with something to try at home.

Shorts — one question, start to answer

A single idea from question to answer, built for YouTube Shorts. No comments, no ads directed at children: this content is certified Made for Kids on YouTube.

Episodes — the whole story

Room to get it wrong first, try again, and land on a proper answer. Shot widescreen, so they work as well on a TV as on a tablet.

The cast

The same four presenters, every episode.

Viewers come back for people, not just topics. The cast never changes, so there’s always a familiar face to follow into new ground. And because two presenters appear at a time, one of them is always the one still figuring it out, which makes it easy to follow along without ever having to speak up or ask.

What we cover

Science-led STEM, grounded in the everyday world.

Science comes first, because that’s where the questions start. Technology, engineering and maths follow as viewers begin noticing how things are built, measured and put together. We work outward from whatever’s close at hand.
