I loved the mid-2000s canadian sci-fi show Strange Days at Blake Holsey High, AKA Black Hole High. The concept was the characters lived at a boarding school that happened to have a black hole in the science teacher's office that both allowed the characters to travel through time, but also had random effects on the school based off of what the kids were learning in class that day. Like in the episode where they are learning about friction, two characters who are having interpersonal friction get zapped by the black hole and basically cemented together on a molecular level (metaphorically portrayed by a pair of blocks that also stick together using friction being zapped and pulling themselves towards each other, becoming completely inseparable) or in a different episode where a character captures a mayfly, the black hole teaches him a lesson by giving him the lifespan of a mayfly, causing him to age super-rapidly. It had a strong myth arc revolving around a shady scientist who was trying to get his hands on a pair of magic balls that had the power to be completely frictionless and so therefore possessed infinite energy (because when the balls got taken through the Black hole directly it took away their friction completely and permanently, allowing them to break the laws of thermodynamics), a clone of the main character who is kind of working for the greater good and a mysterious janitor who knew more than he was letting on. It was a lot of fun and had neat twists like the fact that the scientist was actually a good guy, it's just him and the kids didn't trust each other because the kids were butting in where they had no business being because they were trying to solve the mystery, and he was trying to cover up the weird poo poo at the school because he didn't want it to end up getting shut down completely by panicked parents pulling their kids out if word got out.
