Garga Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 While we eat breakfast we watch CNN Student News. While we eat lunch we watch Bill Nye, the Science Guy. Problem: We're running out of Bill Nye episodes to watch. We need something else that's about 23 minutes long to watch while we eat lunch. We will be watching Liberty Kids next year, not this year. Do you know of anything else that's free on Netflix or Youtube that you know of that we could watch while we eat lunch? Something lightly educational. And free. Did I mention, free? Thanks.

Tardis Girl Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Popular Mechanics for Kids is on Amazon Prime (not sure if it's on the others). Maybe Magic School Bus if your kids aren't too old for that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mommymonster Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 My DS8 loves Nature, Secrets of the Dead (except for the introductory song) and Nova / Nova Science Now (as long as they aren't too advanced), all from PBS. They are more like an hour long, but can be watched over multiple days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idnib Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 My kids like Wild Kratts and have learned a lot of animal facts from it. We do audiobooks during lunch. We don't drive much so it's a good way for me to get them in on a regular basis. We've gotten through so many this way. Just an idea if you don't find shows.
