The [[Edutainment Show]] is its parent trope, the [[Experiment Show]] is a common form of it.
 
{{examples|Examples:}}
 
* ''[[Bill Nye the Science Guy]]''
* ''[[Beakmans World|Beakman's World]]''
* ''[[The Curiosity Show]]'' is an Aussie example.
* ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'' began as this combined with a history show. Considering that it now involves fighting alien cyborgs with 'scientific' terms like [[Techno Babble|"instantaneous biological meta-crisis"]] you can see that its experienced something of a [[Genre Shift]] in the last 50 years.
* ''[[Mystery Hunters]]'', which showed the science that can be used to explain paranormal activities.
* ''[[Newtons Apple|Newton's Apple]]''
Line 21:
* ''[[Square One TV]]'', but with mathematics instead of science. (Isn't math actually a science?<ref>No</ref>)
* [[X Meets Y|Mixed]] with [[Cooking Show]] to create Alton Brown's ''[[Good Eats]]''.
* ''[[Three Two One Contact|3-2-1 Contact]]'', a [[Retool]] of ''[[The Curiosity Show]]'' for American audiences.
* ''[[Owl TV|Owl/TV]]''
* Some shows are aimed at young adults rather than children, e.g. ''[[Brainiac Science Abuse|Brainiac: Science Abuse]]'', ''[[Myth Busters]]''.
* Parodied by [[Bob and Ray]] in the "Mr. Science" skits.
* ''[[Mari and Gali]]'' is a rare Japanese example. Its view on [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Curie_temperature:Curie temperature|Curie temperature]] is highly creative, to say the least.
* Definitely at the hard science end are ''Rough Science'' and ''Science Shack'', by BBC's Open University.
* ''[[Wonder Why]]'', appearing at the beginning of 1990s.
