Ep. 88: Faith, Family, Fun, and Fizz: Connecting Science and Faith with Brock Eastman

from Reimagine Childhood

In this episode of Reimagine Childhood from the Early Childhood Christian Network, host Monica Healer welcomes Brock Eastman (aka Dr. Phineas Einstein Fizzlebop), an award-winning author, Clubhouse and Clubhouse Jr. contributor, and dad of four, to discuss why connecting science and faith matters for young children. Brock shares how Dr. Fizzlebop began as a Clubhouse Jr. science column and grew into videos, a 52-week family devotional (Faith and Science with Dr. Fizzlebop), and Super Simple Science board books covering basics like colors, counting, alphabets, weather, and space. They talk about planting early "memory seeds" that help children integrate faith with everyday learning, the importance of parent-child reading and shared experiences amid modern distractions, and the power of saying "I don't know—let's look it up." Brock demonstrates simple experiments—baking soda and vinegar balloon inflation, "cluck from a cup" amplification, and a straw rocket launch—each paired with a faith connection, and he also mentions his middle grade series Parable Port where Jesus' parables come to life.   00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro 02:29 Brock Science Origins 04:57 Dr Fizzlebop Resources 31:05 Why Moments Matter 36:51 Curiosity Builds Trust 39:37 Fizz Inflator Experiment 48:34 Cluck From a Cup 53:57 Rocket Launch and Sendoff Connect with Brock Eastman (aka Dr. Fizzlebop) on his website - https://www.brockeastman.com/dr-fizzlebop.html or on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@fizzlebop or on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/fizzleboplabs/ Find all of his picture and board-books here - https://www.brockeastman.com/picture--board-books.html Fun experiment for Father's Day! - https://www.brockeastman.com/fizzlebop-lab-updates/fathers-day-fizztastic-experiment-water-balloon-strength-test Our Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@ECCN-Admin/podcasts

Fatherhood Inspiration Motivation Success with The Rogue Dad Jeb Murphy Jeb Murphy If you’ve bucked the “conventional wisdom” to raise your kids, or bucked the dysfunctional example of your youth to raise yourself, this is your podcast. I “went rogue” to raise my kids. I also watched many rogue dads, moms, sons, and daughters go “off script” to become and create strong adults. Most of these stories don’t end with a college degree, an MBA, student loans, or a corner office in a Fortune 500 company. These are stories of the uncommon heroes - the ragtag kids who went on to: own a farm, a clothing line, a custom cabinetry business, be a successful artist, be a Worldwide Jiu Jitsu champion, skateboard in the Olympics, and joyfully become great fathers and mothers. If making strong men and women from little boys and girls is your #1 priority, if you don’t care about the funny looks you receive for your uncommon choices, if you lifted yourself up from a difficult childhood, welcome! Thank you for listening, subscribing, and giving this podcast a 5-star rating! GO ROGUE!
