The kids and I reviewed two Science DVDs from Master Books of New Leaf Publishing Group:
Explore Glacier National Park with Noah Justice and Explore Rocky Mountain National Park with Noah Justice
I couldn’t finish even one of the DVDs. The kids watched both. My younger kids liked them ok. My teen, Liz, really couldn’t stand the narration and I don’t blame her.
It’d be ok if I didn’t have to see him. He enunciates well, but his stilted arm movements and head shakes were so distracting.
The science and geohistory is accurate, complete, and educational. The kids liked the biblical basis in a DVD. They’re too used to other shows with different worldviews that this was refreshing. The imagery and drawings added to their understanding of geological phenomena. They loved the Bible references to The Flood and how it affected the mountains. It reinforced what we’ve been learning in science. And since we live in the Rocky Mountains and visited Yellowstone last fall, we are familiar with the areas mentioned in these DVDs.
And I’m not saying the narrator isn’t smart. I don’t want to insult him. He’s a teen and he’s doing well, but I would prefer to see the nature and not so much the narrator. He could do voice-overs and I’d be happier.
DVDs are $10.00 each at New Leaf Publishing
