Science Themed Netflix Favorites!

Like most families these days we have a Netflix subscription that we use for commercial free entertainment. But we also use our subscription to extend our current lessons or maybe even as a spine resource or spring board of sorts for a lesson. Lately I have notice an influx of awesome documentaries that fit into the science themes we have been studying. I thought I would share some of our favorites. 

Mecca the Great is working on a Disease Detectives(epidemiology) as well as a Weather and Climate unit. She also has some strong interest in bio- medical science so she watches anything she can get her hands on in that genre. Although Kinetic Kid's focus is on Environmental Science and Rocketry and Pony Princess' is Chemistry their list is a bit more of a hodge podge of different topics. Smallville is into all  Things That Go.Here are some of the movies we have watched or have on our list for our current units.
