The Movie | |
| Sid the Science Kid / int_1bf94a24 | comment |
The Movie: Released as an hour-long Made-for-TV Movie and overall Grand Finale to the show in 2013, Sid the Science Kid: The Movie follows Sid and Gabriela as they tour a theme park-like science museum as their prize for winning an invention contest. Things go off the rails when one of the robotic tour guides malfunctions, however, and it's up to the kids and their new friends to solve the fiasco. Christopher Lloyd also appears as an eccentric inventor with wild white hair named Dr. Bonabodon. | |

Heh Heh, You Said "X": In "Special Mom Day Meal," Susie explains the digestive system to Sid's class, and that it takes the good stuff from food and uses it. Gerald asks where the other stuff goes and she tells him that your body gets rid of it, that it leaves your body and this is called "poop." Gerald giggles, pointing out that she said "poop." | |

Ambiguously Brown: Zig-Zagged. Although the kids' actual skin tones are pastel colored, they are implied to be from real ethnic backgrounds; Gabriella is supposed to be Latina, May is described as being Asian (clarified as Chinese-American in the movie), and Sid is mixed-race since, according to the holiday episode, his mom is of African descent and his dad is Jewish as they both celebrate Kwanzaa and Hanukkah respectively. | |

Limited Wardrobe: Only subverted when Sid goes to bed, but then it's the same pajamas every night. Other than that, he's seen wearing the same clothing every episode, as well as the rest of the cast. He does end up wearing his brown dress shoes in "My Shrinking Shoes" because he's grown too big for his old pair of shoes, but at the end of the episode, his mother brings him home a pair that looks exactly the same, but is one size up. | |

Talking in Your Sleep: In "Sleep - Who Needs It?", Teacher Susie lets the kids have a nap to demonstrate the importance of sleep. After everyone has already woken up, Gerald continues to sleep and mutters "Hello, pony. I like applesauce too." They leave him too and later spend some time observing him. He eventually wakes up, but pretends to still be asleep and quacking in his sleep. | |

Pun-Based Title: "Sid's Pet Project" - "pet project" is a term for a project pursued as a personal favorite, but the episode itself is about a literal pet - Sid learns about pets to better take care of his grandma's dog over the weekend. In "Seed the Science Kid," Sid learns about the importance of seeds after being bothered by the seeds in his apple at breakfast. | |

Strictly Formula | |
| Sid the Science Kid / int_3f1aadeb | comment |
Strictly Formula: Sid proposes a hypothesis, has breakfast, and asks his mom or dad about his hypothesis. Then, Sid goes off to school. After that, he interviews his friends before school starts. Rug Time is where Sid tells his friends and teacher about his question before they run off to get their science notebooks and the actual learning takes place. During the Super Fab Lab, they conduct an experiment based on the question posed at the beginning. Next is playtime, where they either play Pretend (in which Gabriela is usually the mom), Good Laughternoon (a joke segment), or just having fun around on the playground. Finally, Teacher Susie sings a song about the topic and Sid goes home. At the end of the episode, Sid tells us his Super-Duper-Ooper-Schmooper Big Idea! and he's off to bed, ready to do it all again the next day. Almost every episode (except for specials) is part of a week-long unit related to a topic. Each Friday, Sid's class has a science lab session outside, and everyone reviews what they learned. | |

Sid's Mom's stomach rumbled in almost to the end of the episode and the characters in "Sid's Big Idea".

Pluto Is Expendable: When the show covers the planets, Pluto simply isn't mentioned - Teacher Susie teaches the kids about the eight planets, the four terrestrial planets and the four outer planets. Justified as the astronomical community renounced Pluto's classification as a planet not long before the show debuted, and it does its best to keep up with the latest scientific discoveries. | |

Hiroshima as a Unit of Measure | |
| Sid the Science Kid / int_ad54ff39 | comment |
Hiroshima as a Unit of Measure: In "The Whale Episode," the buzz-phrase of the day was "nonstandard measurement." It all got started because Sid wanted to know how someone could measure the length of a blue whale. Teacher Susie taught the kids about the idea of "nonstandard measurement" and also that there were certain rules - like that they could use objects lying around to measure things or even themselves, but the units all had to be the same within a particular measurement. Gerald had the idea that they could use him to measure things and they found out that their classroom was "14 Geralds" long. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Sid the Science Kid / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: In "Sid's Amazing Lungs," when Gerald pretends to a baby, he looks directly at the camera and says "I'm a baby, gotta love me" with the same tone and style as Baby Sinclair from Dinosaurs. Dinosaurs was an early 90s ABC comedy done in part by Jim Henson Productions, and this also counts as a Parental Bonus, since most of today's children would be entirely unfamiliar with the series. Also on the subject of references to Jim Henson shows that star prehistoric reptiles, the robotic dinosaurs in the movie are all retextured versions of various character models used in Dinosaur Train. The reprogrammed T-Rex even dances to a scatted version of "Dinosaurs A-Z". As mentioned above, Dr. Bonabodon is voiced by Christopher Lloyd and features Doc Brown's exact hairdo. At the end of "Where Did I Come From?", Sid's parents neuralyze him. | |

Archive Binge: invoked In "Must See TV," Sid decides that once he gets home from school, he wants to take a TV into his room, camp out, and go straight into a marathon all-weekend watch of his favorite television show, Firedog Brigade, about a team of dogs that seem like ordinary dogs until the bell in their fire station goes off and then they go out and do stuff like fighting crimes and saving the day. Being the show that this is, he learns that it's okay to watch television sometimes, but this sort of binge-watching isn't healthy for a growing young boy. | |
