Our Thoughts

The kids really like the videos. The demonstrations are fun and engaging. A couple things would make this series better: a materials list, links to a webpage with more explanations on why/how the experiments work the way they do and maybe even some extension ideas. In a nutshell, the videos are great as an introduction to topics or to get kids excited about Science. However, if you are looking for more than just an introduction into Science you are going to want more than just these videos.
