Educational Shows On Netflix
Take a deep breath y’all, summer is almost over. Truth be told, there are some moments that I don’t want summer vacation to end but they’re quickly overshadowed by the front door opening and slamming shut roughly 527 times when the kids are supposed to be playing outside. Of course, the outdoor playing has been hampered quite drastically by the fact that we had more rain in July than we’d had in any other July of the past 90 years! So that makes for a lot of Netflix to fill in the gaps. I’ve decided to stop fighting them when it comes to TV time, as long as it’s in balance with reading, outdoor activity and family time, oh and of course, my favourite family event, “family cleaning day”! The rule in our house is, for every hour of movie time or Pretty Little Liars, they have to watch an hour of educational programming on Netflix as well. Not a bad compromise. Here’s my list of educational shows on Netflix that can bridge the gap before school starts this fall.
Science class and the study of space and planets
Geography and Food Studies thru traveling on a culinary journey.
A lesson never to young and never to old to learn about the harm of bullying.
Micro Biology in the world of sciences.
Historical social studies from one of the most significant events in the 20th century.
History and art studies thru an architectural masterpiece.
Social studies in current events and inspirational triumph.
Science studies in the history of the dinosaurs.
On the heels of the Olympics and Penny Oleksiak’s 4 medals, a must see for any young athlete.
Biology and science of the wonders of nature that we never see in full scale.
I admit that I’m learning a thing or two from watching these documentaries with my kids. From 13 to 11 to 8 years old, they’re all interested, they all ask questions and they love picking the next topic for us to learn about.
