Science Fun DVDs

Here are links to DVDs to illustrate that science can be both educational and fun. We are firm believers in trying to get across the message, particularly to the young, that science is all about doing experiments and testing theories, asking the question "why does ....?"

BLUE PLANET - SPECIAL EDITION BOX SET

This definitive natural history of the world's oceans covers everything from popular shores and teeming shallows to the mysterious open depths.

Includes 3 new programmes: The Abyss, Dive To Shark Volcano & Amazon Abyss

WALKING WITH MONSTERS

From the makers of Walking With Dinosaurs and Walking With Beasts this is an epic and entertaining new exploration of life before dinosaurs, when a succession of fantastical animals and plants ruled the planet. With the aid of scientific and computer technology a time is recreated when a two-tonne predatory fish came on land to hunt, and four-metre sea scorpions sliced sushi in the shallows, and when just one species of lumbering reptile represented eighty per cent of all. A complete walking with collection is available from the USA.
