ZOOM - image of TV show Title

This Emmy Award-winning show engages kids in science and engineering activities. Produced by WGBH-TV Boston and based on the popular 1970s television series with the same name, "ZOOM" reemerged in the late 1990s with a new focus on science. The show is hosted by a diverse group of seven kids who explore ideas submitted by viewers from across the country. After the television is turned off, kids can go to the "ZOOM" Web site (http://pbskids.org/zoom) with their families to learn how to perform the day's experiments (and others) with common household items.
