Money Rock: great discussion-starter & provocative
I was totally overwhelmed by the prospect of explaining to my 6-year-old what money was and why I couldn't just 'get it from the machine.' This video was great: it's fun for adults as well as kids, and makes it possible to segue into discussions about allowances, ...

Magic School Bus: Getting Energized

Asia Vieira, Karen Bernstein

Atlantic / Wea, 1998

New energy sources!
This video is a great way for kids to think of energy as being much more than plugging in an electric cord. The MSB kids learn how to tap into the energy of the wind, flowing water and the sun. Although somewhat farfetched in its actually abilities to through rocks ...

MSB Taking Flight
My daughter started watching MSB when she was 3-4 years old, and it held her interest until she was 10. The episodes are fun and engaging while being educational at the same time, so children learn without even knowing it! Don't let the school age children in the ...

Magic School Bus: Flexes Its Muscles

Asia Vieira, Karen Bernstein

Atlantic / Wea, 1998

Brawn not brain
