This month for the Moms of MasterBooks we reviewed the 2 newest Awesome Science DVDs: Explore Glacier National Park and Explore Rocky Mountain National Park! Below is my review about the DVDs as well as further details about this months Facebook party. To read more reviews visit the NLPG Blog.

A moms review:
We received the two newest Awesome Science DVDs, there are now a total of 8 in the series. Here are the links to our past reviews: Awesome Science Grand Canyon and Yellowstone and Awesome Science Mount St. Helens. The children were super excited when the DVDs arrived. They really enjoy this series and watch them over and over!

Get ready for an amazing virtual field trip with Noah Justice, a 16 year old boy who will guide and educate your family on these amazing destinations around the United States. I don't know about you but traveling to these amazing National Parks is just not feasible for us right now. Hopefully it will be one day though, because these DVDs certainly sparked an interest in my children.

The DVDs are 30 minutes long (perfect for short attention spans) and the subject matter is explained in a simple and entertaining way. Both my 6 and 8 year old can easily understand and identify with all of the information being discussed on the DVDs. Plus all of information on the DVDs is explained using a Biblical Worldview with scriptures mentioned throughout. In 30 minutes you will cover history, science, geography and more. Weather, water, fossils, geology, the ice age, dinosaurs are just some of the many topics that are touched on as Noah leads you through each National Park. The DVDs are high quality productions and the landscape views are spectacular.

To enhance the learning I highly recommend purchasing the Study Guides for $3.99. These guides really help reinforce what is covered on the DVDs. Each study guide contains vocabulary words, fill-in-the blanks, numerical order and discussion questions. I would say they are best suited for kids in 2nd grade and up, however they can be used for younger kids with some adjusting.


 

More about these DVDs:

Explore Rocky Mountain National Park:

In this next Awesome Science DVD, Noah travels to the Rocky Mountains to explore how they were formed and eroded by the catastrophic tectonics of the Flood. He'll research evidence for this area being created and eroded quickly by the effects of the Flood. In this DVD you'll discover how:

  • Evidence of erosion and mass wasting of the Rockies shows their recent formation
  • The Flood provided just the right mechanisms for an Ice Age
  • The Bible provides the best answers for the massive worldwide extinctions just several thousand years ago.

These DVDs are great for all ages and any family, not just homeschool ones. They would even be great for Church youth groups.
