Or watch it on YouTube

"Chemistry in the Kitchen" is a 6 minute animated segment about two siblings working on a science experiment in the kitchen. Marta, a 16 year old, is interested in science and is showing her 10 year old brother, Stewey, an experiment with yeast, warm water and a balloon. During the experiment, Stewey engages his active imagination and brings to life his anime hero, Mr. Yeast. Mr. Yeast acts out part of the experiment by taking on the role of the yeast and attacking the sugars using his martial arts abilities. Stewey and Mr. Yeast, at times, act out pranks on Marta too.

"Baseball Science"

In "Baseball Science" a young 10 year old boy, Toshe, explains to a reader, Ethan, who has sent in a letter asking how the science of baseball can help him play better. Toshe also explains this to his alien friend, Jen, who arrived in the mail tube with the letter from Ethan. Toshe and Jen go through the making of a baseball and how a pitcher holds the ball to throw different ways and explain how that all helps. A third character, Einstein, is a robot that was constructed by Toshe and Jen. Einstein interjects information about baseball and also adds comic relief with witty sarcasm.

"Batteries"

"Batteries" is about a robot science professor, Professor Tedaco, who teaches one of his students about the science of batteries. The student, Zayla, is a witty “too cool for school” student who acts annoyed yet mildly interested throughout the professor's explanations. The dialogue and interaction between the professor and his student is generally fun and lighthearted yet throughout their discussions a valuable science lesson is conveyed to the viewing audience. Comic relief is provided with the witty interaction between the two leads and the use and movements of Professor Tedaco's drone robots.
