DragonflyTV is devoted entirely to science for kids in grades 4-7. But it's not
like any science show you've ever seen - because it's real kids doing real science! In every
episode, real kids tell about their own investigations - how they explore the science in the
things they love to do.
On the DragonflyTV website (
Click here ) students can, take part in
nationwide science experiments, download a copy of the “DragonflyTV Science Journal,” and --
best of all -- tell DragonflyTV what they are investigating. For teachers, parents and community workshop leaders, there are Teacher's Guides, with lots of ideas for investigations. Visit the DragonflyTV website!
