"The series is ideal... to use because of its short segments and hands-on approach." Museumedia

The second part of FRIENDS OF RESEARCH AND ODD GADGETS (F.R.O.G.), an innovative half-hour science series from the producers of the award-winning OWL/TV.

F.R.O.G. lifts science off the textbook page into the real world to show how enjoyable and challenging science can be. Four kids tackle their own hands-on projects in a clubhouse filled with atmosphere and old junk- cast-off materials, tools, gizmos, and gadgets that provide the kids with plenty of inspiration. Inventiveness and discovering how things work clearly excite the "froggers."

In each episode the kids tackle a new problem. When the kids need help they call on "The F.R.O.G. Files"-computers with the latest technological facts. An amphibious mascot and hip, animated frog add to the fun.

Please Note:

Individual programs can be purchased separately at $49.00 or rented at $20.00 each.

The 7 individual half-hour programs are:

201: Crime

The Froggers use science to solve "The Case of the Missing Frog."

202: Junkyard Jukebox

The energy required to play a great old jukebox needs to be significantly reduced to stop blowing fuses in the clubhouse.

203: Flying High

Dreams of flying lead the kids into building a magnificent flying machine by recycling their soapbox car from last season.

204: Hamming It Up

From two-way radio to crystal radios to HAM radios, the Froggers explore "short waves" to try and pick up a message from a cosmic mystery voice.

205: Magic

Blending chemistry, physics and a magician's flair, sleight of hand and optical illusions produce great results, and Hugo loses his head, literally!

206: A Light Meal

Can it really get "so hot you could fry an egg on the sidewalk"? Carlton says. "Yes"; Anthony says, "No way." With a little science and a little magic, lunch is served.

207: Plastic World

The Froggers construct a totally cool plastic world, right down to the food on the table.
