I have discovered an interesting series of web sites which explain facts about all kinds of science in simple terms. The links are as follows:

PHYSICS4KIDS:
http://www.physics4kids.com/index.html

CHEM4KIDS:
http://www.chem4kids.com/index.html

BIOLOGY4KIDS:
http://www.biology4kids.com/

GEOGRAPHY4KIDS:
http://www.geography4kids.com/

COSMOS4KIDS:
http://www.cosmos4kids.com/

NOTE: The above URLs are all links to "Rader's" sites. The "Rader" refers to Andrew Rader. For more about Andrew Rader see:
http://www.kapili.com/index_press.html
Excerpt:
"Two of the most asked questions we receive are "Who makes these sites?" and "Why do you make these sites?" There is one driving force behind all of the sites created by Andrew Rader Studios... Andrew Rader." (The page goes on to describe Rader's background and credentials.)

Remember: "It's not just for kids, it's for everyone" (as it says at each site). I'll say! :)

I was a huge fan of Mr. Wizard when I was a kid, watched him all the time. He made it fun and interesting.

I'm glad someone is making it interesting for kids nowadays.

Pontalba, yes, I remember Mr. Wizard too. Excellent show.
Whaddayaknow! Netflix has him:
"Watch Mr. Wizard" (1951):

"In his groundbreaking TV series from the 1950s and '60s, Peabody Award winner Don Herbert -- better known as Mr. Wizard -- introduces the preteen set to the wonders of science. Demonstrating inventive experiments with thoughtful care, Mr. Wizard was a popular and critical success."
