Also Brio wood trains, which my kid loves - there are lots on YT - just some hand driving a train around a track.
Current favorites are Geo History and History Scope. Although we've almost exhausted both.
Lately he's been on a kick about camping, so lots of videos on how to build and maintain fires, survival shelters, how to manufacture tents(in a factory), etc.
Last night was on the design and construction of the Abrahms and the Blackhawk pavelow.
Tonight will be videos on CFCs and how they combine with Ozone, since he's been asking questions about that. (And I have no idea what the end molecules are, so I guess we'll both find out tonight).
Highly curated YouTube to strictly educational content is all he is allowed on YouTube. His attitude during/after watching game streamers resulted in a ban about two years ago. We give him an experimental day where he can watch streamers every six months or so, always regret it when we do.
Mark Rober has many great and some good science and engineering videos that my kids love: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCY1kMZp36IQSyNx_9h4mpCg He get's my vote for the current best communicator of science, on par at times with Carl Sagan.

Bluey. I know it was big last year, and I didn’t catch onto it then, but it is a delightful show and there are lots of clips & episodes on YouTube that are very easy to sit down with. Also Brio wood trains, which my kid loves - there are lots on YT - just some hand driving a train around a track.
The parents have great patience and colorful imagination. I wish I was less of a robot and more like Bluey's father. :)
The educational stuff is BBC bitesize
I dont mind them watching this stuff as it lets them switch off and have downtime when not doing anything
