We’re using the power of media to build science skills PBS KIDS’ newest series Splash and Bubbles is making waves this month with a premiere episode on November 23 at 8:45 am, 11:45 am, and 3:45 pm CT. The program is designed to encourage kids ages 4-7 to explore the natural undersea world and follows the adventures of Splash (a yellow fusilier fish), Bubbles (a Mandarin dragonet) and their friends as they explore the world’s ocean habitats, make new friends, and learn about the many different ways life looks and lives under the sea. Developed with an advisory panel of top marine biologists, digital innovators, and educators, Splash and Bubbles is grounded in a marine biology and social-emotional curriculum that focuses on themes of diversity, individuality, interconnectedness, and the celebration of learning and discovery. Watch for Splash and Bubbles in their regular timeslot of 9 am CT beginning November 24.
