Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
The September 1, 2008 episode, its first one, is about charts. The LA Times states, “… not the most exciting way to begin, but a sensible enough place to ground a child in the scientific method.”
Part of the first episode concerns Sid and his teacher. The LA Times article continues,
Says Teacher Susie, "When you count things and write them on a chart, you're collecting data.”
"Ooooooo," say the kids, as if they have just seen a bunny turn green. "Data."
"It's fun to compare all the data in their cute little boxes," says Susie, a thought to brighten the lives of accountants everywhere.
They make a chart of the snacks they brought for lunch. Then there is a break for jokes: What do you call a chart about trains? A choo choo chart. What do you get when you make a chart about charts? Too many charts. (I would have said "a meta-chart," which is doubtless why I do not work in children's television.)
Episode 2 asks the question “How do rolie polies move?". See a sneak preview of it on YouTube.
On Wednesday, September 3, 2008, KCET (community television for Southern California) says that, “Sid tries to figure out how many seashells are in a jar, but there are too many to count. At school he learns a new way to determine the number: estimation, which he uses to come up with a number for the seashells, as well as for leaves and stars.” [PBS/KCET: “Sid the Science Kid: Enough With the Seashells”]
