lulubelle Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 My kids are 2, 4, and 6. They love the Way Things Work Videos!!! There are about 20! We got them out of the library. They actually come with a study guide! Schlessinger media is pretty cool operation - they have a video for every subject you can think of! The Way Things Work is specifically a physical science based cartoon. I highly recommend them. I think they are based for 3rd or 4th graders, but my kids so enjoy them and what a great intro to things! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lulubelle Posted December 23, 2008 Author Share Posted December 23, 2008 Make sure you check out the cartoon ones about Mammoth Island. They are less than 20 min. long. The topics are: ballooning, belts and gears, cooling, electricity, engines, flight, floating, friction, heat, inclined planes, levers, light, magnets, musical instruments, photography, pressure, pulleys, pumps, screws, sensors, sinking, sound, and springs. If you look up Schlessinger media on google and look for a list of their videos then go to The Way Things Work - there is the whole list of them. Our library network has everyone!

herbalgirl Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 We like them, too, but wish each one was longer than the 15 mins. or so they are! My oldest was a little disappointed about that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
