TheAttachedMama Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 I am so thankful for the SOTW audiobooks. Our family has been doing a bit of crisis schooling this year, and those audiobooks have made it possible for my first grader to still get some history exposure. Does anyone know of a similar resource for elementary science? Maybe even a series that a first grader could listen to while he plays? We have an audible subscription and a decent library.

domestic_engineer Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 (edited) This isn’t exactly analogous to SOTW, but nature lore books teach quite a bit to young kids. The Burgess Bird Book amd the Burgess Animal Book come immediately to mind. It’s on librivox, IIRC. You might also check out the Ambleside suggestions for nature lore. I think many of those are on librivox. Also see what Simply Charlotte Mason has resources for. The Pond one is on librivox too ... IIRC. It’s been a while since we did listened or attempted to listen to it. ETA: David Angus has “scientists and their discoveries” and “inventors and their inventions”. I didn’t listen to them. My kids listened to it without complaining but weren’t enthralled with them. ETA2: Kathleen Krull has a book on the lives of scientists that one of my kids enjoyed.

Porridge Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 We’re not really a podcast family, but I know there are some science oriented podcasts out there. One we listened to this summer was excellent— California Burning. it’s a five part series that explores the potential causes for the recent California fires. It wouldn’t be good for young kids (early elementary), but middle school and up could probably enjoy it. perhaps others can recommend other science podcasts? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maptime Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 My ds has listened to various titles in the Horrible Science series via our library’s digital lending library. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
