The 3E learning cycle in the television show Sid the Science Kid

This article reports on a research study on Sid the Science Kid PBS television show including meth-ods for preschool teachers to promote the inclusion of the 3E Learning Cycle and the tents of the nature of sci-ence in their preschool science education curriculum. We discussed： （a）the value of the Sid the Science Kidmedia tool and its relationship to the nature of science; （b）how to identify the 3E＇s Learning Cycle in the Sidthe Science Kid media tool. The goal of this study is to analyze if the 3E＇s （Explain, Explore, Engage） are pre-sent in a television promoting inquiry for young learners. We are suggesting the Sid media tool be a model forthe explicit teaching of the 3E＇s and the nature of science, not behavior management.
