chelsmm Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 It's hard to tell from the website how many videos there are and for what ages they are appropriate. Anyone know a little about it? My kids are 6 and 8. They both love science and can follow and understand content that is a bit above their age range. Would this be appropriate for them or would it be too advanced? It would be used just for s fun supplement. It seems to be on sale for $10 for a year. We already have brainpop jr, which they both love. And we get discovery streaming through a school, so it is free. I don't use that much, as I find it difficult to navigate. Thoughts please? Thanks, Chelsea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NittanyJen Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 His videos hit a range of ages, and he is funny but accurate and to the point. He has been rearranging his site to organize his videos topically to make them easier to find. At $10/year, Robert Krampf is a bargain!

Forgiven Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 My kids love The Happy Scientist. I bought it for $10 off of HSBC last year, and am so glad that I did. As someone else said, he is funny, accurate, and straigt to the point. His videos aren't too long, they teach a lot of stuff, and the kids really enjoy his personality. We use the website for fun learning. Not necessarily as a supplement. There are days when I'm working too much (I work from home while homeschooling my kids) or I'm sick, so I'll give the kids the school computer and tell them to watch The Happy Scientist. They spend hours at a time on his website, choosing different videos that look interesting to them. They've done some of the experiements after watching the videos, and they always work, and the kids are always thrilled. This is definitely worth more than the $10 cost.

Spryte Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Your kids are a great age for the Happy Scientist! We started at that age, and still get a yearly subscription. Love him. Sometimes I coordinate his videos with our lessons - fairly easy to do - and other times DS just hangs out watching a bunch of videos at once. Worth every penny.

chelsmm Posted August 29, 2013 Author Share Posted August 29, 2013 Thanks. I signed up, and my dd is watching him now while ds is in OT. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
