// **Content Standard**: Students in Wisconsin will understand that science is ongoing and inventive, and that scientific understandings have changed over time as new evidence is found. // // Students will realize that scientific knowledge is developed from the activities of scientists and others who work to find the best possible explanations of the natural world. Researchers and those who are involved in science follow a generally accepted set of rules to produce scientific knowledge that others can confirm with experimental evidence. This knowledge is public, replicable, and undergoing revision and refinement based on new experiments and data. // [|Louis Pasteur] [|Blood letting]

Annie Partington These videos of Sid the Science Kid show a young kid who likes to investigate. He along with his class and teacher, Miss Suzie investigate how and why things happen. The particular video I was looking to show is one about flight investigation. In this video Sid and his class visit the Science Center and then they show a short “real” video” about the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Washington DC. (On the left of the website, it has a tab for investigations and that’s where I found the flight investigation video.)
