omishev Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Has anyone seen the "One Strange Rock" series by National Geographic? It is on Netflix as well. My husband and I just started watching it and we are learning so much about the Earth! I would say it is primarily earth science but has a lot of biology, ecology, astronomy, geology as well. It is based off the way an astronaut sees the Earth and interviews astronauts throughout. I love how it ties everything together. Everything is connected! It would be a fantastic resource for high school students to get a big picture (which I feel like was really lacking in my own education) and learn about a lot of specific systems and niches around the world. My 5yo and 7yo watched part of one episode and loved it! The photography and computer animation is incredible! I would love to develop a curriculum around this series. You know, in all my free time! haha! 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every unit adds a level of complexity that gets us to where we are now. I'll check it out, thanks for sharing!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alte Veste Academy Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Oh, thanks so much for this! It's perfect for DS12. He loves all things science and nature and does a DocuWalk every day (watches a documentary while walking on the treadmill, LOL). They did make a curriculum guide for it. And you can get slides, too, apparently. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might justify a treadmill for us! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

domestic_engineer Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Is this the documentary that SWB narrated a segment? My searching skills failed me on this question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really want to see that one too but I don't think its on any streaming service we have. We watched the first 2 episodes of One Strange Rock and the kids (and me too) love it! Its perfect timing because we haven't come across a documentary series we really love in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know because I had just paid and finished watching the first season on Amazon. SWB is in season 2 and they did not add that to Netflix yet. I can never find anything on Netflix! 😣 Thanks for the heads up. 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
