The main character in the show is Sid, an "inquisitive youngster" who uses comedy to tackle questions kids have about basic scientific principles and why things work the way they do. He tries to answer questions and solve problems with the help of his classmates (Gabriella, Gerald, and May), Teacher Suzie, and his family (his mother Alice, his father Mort, his Grandma named Mark, and his baby brother Zeke). In "Hello Doggie", Sid adopts a dog from the animal shelter (which he names Philbert).

The conceptual content of Sid is based in national science learning standards, cognitive learning theory, and on the preschool science curriculum, Preschool Pathways to Science. ^{[5 ]}

Each week's episodes are built around a single scientific theme or concept. The first week (episodes 1 - 5) focus on scientific tools and concepts (such as charts, observation, estimation, and measuring). The second week (episodes 6 - 10) focuses on changes and transformation (including decay, growth, freezing and melting, and the effects of heat). The third week (episodes 11 - 15) focuses on the senses (including touch, smell, sight, and hearing). The fourth week (episodes 16 - 20) focuses on health. The fifth week (episodes 21 - 25) focuses on simple machine. The sixth week (episodes 26 - 30) focuses on backyard science. The seventh week (episodes 31 - 35) focuses on weather. The eighth week (episodes 36 - 40) focuses on the human body. The Friday shows are designed to review, reinforce and summarize the central concept of the week.
