| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Bats, Spiders and Haunted Houses (Oh My!) |
| I homeschool (unschool) my son, and the Magic School Bus series is GREAT for teaching kids science. We have 4 DVD sets and a few VHS's.
If you're unfamiliar with the premise, the central characters are Ms. Frizzle (a teacher), her class, Liz the lizard and the Bus. Ms. Frizzle takes her class on crazy field trips, where Bus--and sometimes the kids!--experience a transformation so they can get closer to the action. (For example, become a bee or turning into water droplets.) One of our most recent purchases was Creepy, Crawly Fun! and it's excellent as always. These three episodes are: *Inside the Haunted House - Acoustics and hearing *Going Batty - Nocturnal creatures and echolocation *Spins a Web - The life of spiders There is also a few interactive and DVD-ROM features, by my son hasn't used those. This CD runs about 90 minutes and is supposedly geared towards children 3-8. Personally, I think the age-appropriate range is more like 6-10 because of the complex concepts introduced. However, if younger kids enjoy it--more power to them! It certainly can't hurt to introduce science to younger kids if the Magic School Bus holds their interest. My 8-year old son really enjoys the series now (he didn't get into it when he was younger), so I use the Magic School Bus series to supplement our learning/experimenting with science principles. And, my son seems to love Creepy, Crawly Fun--especially where Ms. Frizzle's voice is distorted! Also, this would be a great DVD for Halloween time--especially since it's educational! |
