Library and Educational Services is a wholesaler of an incredible amount of educational materials. From faith to family, seafarers to scientists, there is a program that will benefit your homeschool! One that they offer, the Go Science DVDs (series 2), was offered to 100 Schoolhouse Crew Review members.
Hosted by Ben Roy, a science teacher at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and former director of a television science program, these high-energy DVDs for students ages 4 to 11 will enthrall both the avid scientist and the recalcitrant student. Mr. Roy brings to life the fundamentals of science, including how sound works, why gravity causes your textbook to hit the ground, and the principles of Newton’s Third Law (“for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction,”) with an oversized Newtonian cradle. Between the seven volumes, there are 80 demonstrations of physical and chemical science. The Go Science DVDs help make laboratory science accessible to all children.
There are a total of seven DVDs in the series. Each has a list price of $14.95. Each is priced at $8.97. Available for review were:
Volume 1: Sound, Gravity, Space
Volume 2: Life Science, Weather
Volume 3: Air
Volume 4: Motion, Friction, Electricity, Light
Volume 5: States of Matter, Water
Volume 6: Chemistry
Volume 7: Engineering, Design, Flight
What makes this program unique is how Mr. Roy correlates science with God’s creation. For example:
- There are many sounds around us, but we need to be in tune with God’s frequency in order to hear Him so we can be filled with His power.
- If we were to remove the atmosphere, we would keep objects from falling, but without the atmosphere, we would be in need of another oxygen source to be able to breathe as God designed us.
- Outside forces in our lives go into our hearts and affect us; we show this in how we act toward others.
As Mr. Roy states at the end of each episode, “When we learn more about
science, we learn more about our Creator, God.” The Go Science DVDs help students learn how God’s hand is in everything.
