Product Description Starring Vic Mignogna, Luci Christian. Review The latest in a series of test preparation DVDs for young people, Earth Science takes viewers on an amazing, computer-animated journey sure to capture the imagination as well as educate. Designed specifically to prepare viewers for standardized tests at grade five, Earth Science hosted by the cheerful Marko the Pencil, and covers topics ranging from how Earth's orbit causes the seasons to the water cycle, what causes weather, sedimentary rocks and fossils, topography and volcanoes, plate tectonics, energy and resources, and much more. A welcome addition to public and especially grade school libraries, and the perfect gift for any child with a blossoming interest in science. --James Cox, Midwest Book Review Child Bookwatch DVD Shelf If you have a pre-teen child who is studying Earth Science in school you will positively be amazed at how helpful, reinforcing and supportive this DVD is. The same topics that they are spending their days learning in school: astronomy, geology, mineralogy, weather, soil erosion, etc. are all here with visually appealing, colorful animations. What made it more fun than school was a certain sense of fun that Rock 'N Learn sprinkles liberally throughout the DVD. Whether it is the fun characters or some silly banter it clearly worked. The use of rhyme and rhythm to memorize planet names and other scientific facts was not only viewed by parents as ingenious but exceptionally effective as well. --Review from The National Parenting Center's Seal of Approval This product is kid appealing and keeps children interested. The DVD is exceptionally well planned and is amazingly informative without the children losing interest. The DVD was so interesting, not only to the children, but to the parents as well. It was fun to sit and get involved with the DVD and test our knowledge of what we knew now and what we never knew before. It was helpful and easy to understand for children of all ages. --Reviewer from iParenting Media Awards Best Products
