FOR PARENTS
Small stories. Shared discoveries.
A simple way to talk with children about the science in everyday life.
Who is the series for?
The Why Lab is designed for ages 4–7, preferably with a parent. The story starts a conversation; the adult notes explain sources and the limits of each simplified example.
How do we watch an episode?
Choose an episode, select subtitles and start playback. The player offers full screen and a focus view. It does not start by itself or play the next episode automatically.
What happens afterwards?
Ask what caught your child’s attention. Episode one includes a printable drawing activity. Continue with a conversation and something to make, without needing more screen time.
Languages and access
Audio is in Greek. Subtitles are available in Greek, English, French, German, Spanish, Russian, Ukrainian, Albanian, Bulgarian, Romanian, Turkish, Arabic and Hindi. Episode one is free, without an account or a geographic restriction imposed by this site.
Sources and corrections
The initiative is by Stasinos Sikalias. Citing a scientific source does not mean its organisation has endorsed the series. Translations support access and have not all been reviewed by native speakers. You can report an issue with the episode title and timestamp, without children’s personal information.
