"I was skeptical when I rented this as I read the previous rating and didnt know what to expect. I am VERY glad I didn't rely on a poor rating to sway me from trying it out. This video is GREAT!!! I am a 4th grade teacher AND a parent of a 5th grader who is about to take the CA State Science Test. I sat with my son and previewed it before handing it off to his teacher and my fellow teachers at school. This video has neat graphics and cool rock music. The music they've come up with is outstanding!! This video is not meant for older adults to enjoy -- this is a video made to attract the attention of 5th graders, so this is geared toward that age group. The tunes are catchy and they've come up with a different song for each section of the video. They DO repeat what they say, but what teacher only says things ONE TIME?!?! They dont over-repeat it, they merely say it a couple times to let it sink in. My son was laughing and saying that his friends would laugh at the movie for some of its silliness, but as I caught him unwittingly singing along, I knew that THAT would be the reason he would remember the information presented. There are 7 sections: Solar Trip, Its Our Weather, Water Cycle, Anatomy Blues, Its Matter That Matters, Photosynthesis, and Life Science (4th grade bonus video). All in all, this is a great video to follow up on what has already been taught."

Awesome DVD

"Being a teacher I found this DVD to be a great supplemental teaching tool to my students. Not only did they love it, they wanted me to keep playing it. It is awesome to play before a unit and then use it for review before the test. It follows the California State standards and I would recommend this educational DVD to 2nd-6th grade teachers. You'll love it and so will your students!!!!! 2 thumbs up!!"

"The video was awesome! We enjoyed the music, special effects, and the educational value of this product. I highly recommend this video for 9 - 12 year old children. We look forward to the production of more grade level content videos from this company."
