Ready Jet Go!

33 episodes

Jet and his neighborhood friends Sean, Sydney, and Mindy take space science one question at a time. Most of the 33 entries are four-minute clips from PBS LearningMedia, each settling one thing: why Pluto stopped counting as a planet, what separates an asteroid from a meteor from a meteorite, what Earth's four layers are, why some planets are rocky and others are balls of gas. Longer eleven- to twenty-three-minute episodes send the kids to build model rockets, design a robotic arm to fish a toy out of a crevice, or watch a lunar eclipse on Halloween night. One is a sing-along about craters.
