Recommend DVD series like Magic School Bus but for older kids?

[smiles33]

My girls loved the Magic School Bus series but have outgrown it. Is there another science based DVD series for older kids you can recommend?

Thanks!

Popular Mechanics for Kids. My kids (ages 2, 5 and 8) love this series and have learned a lot from the shows! The great thing is that the kids are the hosts and get to do all kinds of cool stuff. They have seen most of the Magic School Bus before so now we are watching this series (we put it on for them when we're driving on trips).

I was going to say Cosmos also. My kids love it.

My younger DD Netflix binged on Neil deGrasse Tyson's Cosmos over winter break.

We did this a while ago too. We had pancakes and Cosmos every Saturday morning. A lot went over my 7 yo's head, but he definitely understood enough to stay engaged. He's still referencing it almost a year later.

Another vote for popular mechanics. My kids also loved Wild Kratts, available on Netflix and Amazon prime video.

Not DVDs, but there are some great channels on youtube if you want to go that route. Crash Course and Minute Physics get a lot of airtime around here. The show Mythbusters also covers a lot of interesting science.

Those Popular Mechanics shows look awesome! Thanks, Golden Pig. We needed some fresh road trip material since DS has watched every Wild Kratts, Magic School Bus and Liberty's Kids already.
