Welcome to the PopSciFun Podcast, a science trivia show for kids, parents, teachers, and curious families. Each episode turns STEM into a game with fun science questions, surprising answers, and kid-friendly explanations that make learning feel like play.
From space and dinosaurs to weather, animals, chemistry, and the human body, every episode helps kids explore big ideas through short, interactive trivia games. Whether you listen at home, in the classroom, on a road trip, or during family time, PopSciFun makes science more memorable by turning questions into conversation.
A short, snappy format kids ask to replay. Great for car rides, dinner table conversations, and warm-ups in classrooms.

Short bursts of science trivia that turn curiosity into questions and questions into "let's build it." Each episode pairs with a PopSciFun kit so families can keep going.
A trivia tour of explosions, pressure, and chemical reactions kids see every day. From soda fizz to fireworks, we break down what really makes a "boom" and why some are loud, fast, or surprisingly quiet. Show notes and transcript summary coming soon.
Bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and the science of pollination as a family quiz. We answer "why does a bee dance?" and "how does a hummingbird hover?" with simple, kid-friendly explanations. Show notes and transcript summary coming soon.
Rainbows, mirrors, and lasers explained with kid-friendly trivia questions. Why is the sky blue? What makes a magnifying glass work? Try the trivia, then build it. Show notes and transcript summary coming soon.
Heart, brain, blood, and bones in a fast family-friendly trivia game. How fast can your heart pump? How many bones are in your hand? Surprises in every answer. Show notes and transcript summary coming soon.
Built around playful, screen-light learning. Listen as a family, use it as a STEM warm-up, or pair it with a unit you already teach.
15-20 minute episodes for the car, dinner table, or bedtime. Kid-led trivia turns car rides into "wait, why does that happen?" conversations parents actually enjoy.
Use episodes as 5-minute warm-ups, sub-day fillers, or end-of-unit reviews. Each episode is mapped to NGSS topics. Kits available for classroom STEM groups.
One episode + one kit = a complete weekly STEM block. Trivia first, hands-on next, family challenge to wrap. Reusable, replayable, and screen-free once the audio plays.
We're building cross-promotion partnerships with science centers and family museums so families can listen, learn, and play together. If you run a museum gift shop or after-school STEM program and want to feature PopSciFun kits, we'd love to talk.
