"**Science with Blue**" is the fourteenth episode of Season 1 in the reboot series *Blue's Clues & You!*. It is a remake of "What Experiment Does Blue Want to Try?".

## Summary

Blue and Josh are experimenting by playing sink and float, but Blue wants to try another experiment. We play Blue's Clues to figure out which experiment Blue wants to try next. While looking for clues we examine items outside through a magnifying glass in "Extreme Close-up" then label the objects. Then we experiment with gravity and remember the characteristics and correct order of the planets in outer space through a song.

## Differences

* The Sun is female in this episode, just like in the Kevin (United Kingdom) and Duarte (Portugal) versions of the original. However, in the Steve (United States) version of the original, it was male instead.
* Cinnamon, Ginger, and Sage appear in this episode, but they didn't appear in the original as they weren't born yet.
* The green and red apples swap places.
* Steve didn’t ask, "what do you we have here?," after he had his magnifying glass above the ladybug.
* Pail said, "oh," once.
* Shovel asked, "what do you think it is?," not, "this is,".
* Josh didn't use a magnet to get the Notebook.
* In the original episode, Paprika was in the water with a green floaty, but in the reboot, Sage and Ginger were in the water with donut floaties.
	+ Additionally, the red sailboat with a green sail is replaced by an orange paper boat.
	+ Also, the paw print was not revealed in the water until after Josh noticed the twins floating in the sink (just like the apples) when the paw print floated into view from under Ginger.
	+ Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper didn't have a whistle.
* Steve said, "Yeah. It is. It’s grass,".
* Josh saw his hand instead of Steve's hand.
* Steve examined other stuff in the kitchen before he found the second clue (tape) in the original while in the remake, Josh didn't have time to examine other objects as the clue was immediately spotted.
* The tape in the original episode was yellow and Steve examines it with a magnifying glass, but in the remake, the tape was red, but Josh does not examine it with a magnifying glass.
* In the original when Jupiter arrived, Blue extended her ears since "Jupiter is most wide". In the reboot, Blue didn't.
* Steve just said, “Earths home to me and you,”.
* The Planets Song has the addition of Pluto being a dwarf planet which was a planet at the time of the airing of the original episode, but in 2006, it was reclassified as a dwarf planet. The music is evidenced on a vlog on the Nick Jr. YouTube channel.
	+ However, when Josh sang the song with the viewers the second time, parts of the original and new music were used.
	+ The solo and duet versions have slightly different music.
	+ The planets look more realistic in the remake version and also seem to be sized differently (in the original for example, Jupiter was bigger than Steve; but in the remake, it was smaller than Josh).
* The scene where Blue and Josh do the cyclone experiment takes place in the kitchen instead of the living room.
* Steve said, “whole solar system,” but Josh said, “entire”.
* The plastic bottles have one pawprint instead of two, unlike the original episode.
	+ Also the second plastic bottle did not fall down when Josh skidoo back into the living room.
	+ In the Original Steve's Cape was removed when Skidoo back Home in Reboot Josh's Cape when After Skidoo back home said "That was so Cool!" and remove his cape and back his himself again.
	+ When Steve drew the top of the plastic bottles, he made a circle instead of an oval.
* Mailbox stayed in his normal position when he gave Josh a letter and comes to the kitchen upside-down and then to his normal position in this episode. But in the original, he just remained upside-down throughout the whole episode.
* Neptune doesn't join in on this episode.
* In the remake, Josh was use his phone to selfie with sun in the original episode. But Steve didn't have a phone to selfie.
	+ Also, no in-market smartphone had an under-screen selfie camera during this time.
* In the original, Steve did not Sing "Blue Skidoo We Can too", but in the remake Josh did it.
* In the original, Steve showed us that there is not floating on Earth by jumping one time before the Viewer said that there's a clue, but in the remake, the Viewer said that there's a clue after Josh took his cape off.
