I’m particularly interested in highlighting the scientific method or historical method. Preferably with short episodes of ~10min and not too flashy/magical.

Any recommendations?

    Elenor Wonders Why on PBS Kids. Each episode is ~ 20 minutes, broken into two ~ 10 minute stories. Cute animal kids explore nature and/or experiment in an inquiry-based manner. Many episodes have a song covering a history of science topic at the end of a segment. Animated with a calm, quiet aesthetic.

      Adding on to my original answer, there are a bunch of shows on PBS Kids that will meet your criteria. Here are a few off the top of my head:

      Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That. Covers nature and science topics. More about learning and interacting than experimenting. Also available on Tubi.

      Work it Out Wombats. This one didn’t appeal to my kids so I’ve seen just a couple of episodes, but it’s about solving problems in a systematic manner.

      Mega Wow. Live action. Only like 10 episodes but my kids are crazy about it right now. Hands on exploring of scientific topics.
