Have you had a chance to check out all that Amazon Prime Video has to offer? I wanted to make sure that you knew about the awesome resources for homeschool science with Amazon Prime Video. Television shows and videos with science themes are currently available for different ages.
Here are a few of our favorites, as well as resources we have added to our watchlist (cool Amazon Prime video feature to add shows and videos that you want to watch in the future). **We have not watched all of these titles. As with any media, I strongly recommend that you do your research and preview the videos prior to showing your kids.
Wild Kratts (seasons 1, 2, 10): My younger boys love this show! Kids get to join the Kratts brothers as they go on terrific adventures and share their knowledge of different animals and their habitats.
Kratts' Creatures (season 1): This show is an earlier version of Wild Kratts and super fun!
Science For Kids (Grades K-8): Includes three short episodes that teach about the solar system.
Popular Mechanics for Kids (4 seasons): With episodes that run between 22-23 minutes, kids get to explore and learn about a variety of interesting topics.
HowStuffWorks Classics (seasons 1-4): Kids learn about all that it takes to put on Star Wars fan convention, cars, and more!
What The Stuff? (seasons 1-5)
: Variety of topics that I would recommend for teens.
