Another Week 19 documentary

I posted a whole host of Week 19 resources last week, and I stumbled on another one that I wanted to share. 🙂

IMAX Deep Sea: I found another great Ocean documentary this week! For you folks who are Amazon Prime-ers, it’s free! YAY! It was well done, geared for children and an amazing look into the legion of species, great and small, filling the oceans. We also had some great dialog during the movie identifying different groups invertebrates (as a review from way back in Week 5!)  Plus, Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet narrate it, so if you want to re-live Edward Scissorhands or Titanic (well, at least the voices) while watching an educational movie, this one’s for you! Ha! We enjoyed this one!

Seas of Life (Episode 2, The Deep)-I mentioned this series in last week’s post. We watched episode 2, The Deep, this morning, and it was fascinating! It highlighted the unique, unbelievable, G0d-is-amazingly-creative animals living in “the deep.” The boys and I had great dialog about the Bathyl and Abyssal ocean zones before and after the movie.

If you’re not an Amazon Prime person, one of my readers told me that she was able to find some of these on Netflix. You might hit the jackpot there! 🙂 Also, you probably will want to preview any and all documentaries before you let your kiddos watch them just to make sure they’re suitable for your family.

Between the books we’ve read and documentaries that we’ve watched this week, we’ve had a great week of learning about the ocean zones. I can’t believe how much I’ve learned personally! I probably learn just as much–if not more–than my boys do each week!

Enjoy learning with your kiddos this week!
