Awesome Science Dvds

Description

Explore interesting locations with an investigative eye as you tour with 14-year old Noah Justice. Evidence for the formation and construction of each location is presented from a young earth, creation perspective, as Noah talks about the Bible and what you will find at the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone and petrified forests. Each video is about 30 minutes in length and will entertain as well as educate as you learn about the geologic column, super volcanoes, craters and canyons, and other natural formations. Study guides are available for purchase separately, or you can download them for free at masterbooks.net. These guides follow along with the narration of each DVD with fill-in-the blank portions, vocabulary, discussion questions, and occasional hands-on, bonus activity. This series can be used just for entertainment or to accompany your science curriculum. Use them with your co-op, youth group, Sunday school class or any other group that you might want to hear and see the truth of earth science. The scenery and videography is professional, clear, and beautiful. I hope you will enjoy the discerning view as you travel our country and explore. - Donna
