Sesame Street Begins Teaching Math and Science

Posted by Soulskill on Tuesday September 27, 2011 @11:26AM from the c-is-for-cookie dept.

An anonymous reader sends in this excerpt from ABC News: "This season of 'Sesame Street,' which premiered today, has added a few new things to its usual mix of song, dance and educational lessons. In its 42nd season, the preschool educational series is tackling math, science, technology, and engineering — all problem areas for America's students — in hopes of helping kids measure up. ... This season, 'Sesame Street' will include age-appropriate experimentation — even the orange monster Murray will conduct science experiments in a recurring feature."

Why waste the opportunity? "Look kids, Brownian motion!"
