is a company that is driven by the passion of
an ocean-environ educator.
After watching the...
I can hear the passion
for the ocean in her narration
and see it in the underwater images she has helped film.
********************************************
This DVD was created to be used with
a downloadable teacher's guide,
which REALLY adds so much to the DVD.
Yes, the DVD is interesting itself,
but the lesson guide is what really
pumps up the educational component.
******************************************
Each guide uses is divided up into sections
based on the chapters of the DVD.
For each section,
the following components are included:
*Character education and imagination play for kiddos
*Pre-video questions, which are designed to prompt discussion and
enhance learning during video and multi-media viewing.
enhance learning during video and multi-media viewing.
*Ideas and support materials can be used
to build learning centers/activities in your home,
combining science with other core subjects.
*A glossary of scientific terms,
eco-tips, and websites
*Suggested book lists and extension activities

Now,
I don't know about you,
but the kiddos and I will probably never get a chance
to go suba diving,
so watching this DVD was a treat!
The underwater creatures I got to see
are God's "eye candy,"
in my opinion.
The activities included to go along with this DVD
are very well thought out,
and include great worksheets and interactive components,
which only adds to the
underwater virtual field trip...
(It really makes me feel like
Ms. Frizzle...) ;0)
