Science concepts are one of the more exciting things to teach students.
On the other hand, students learn a lot from studying science concepts through observation, experimentation, following instructions, and other learning skills necessary to understand what is being talked about.
One of the topics that was discussed for Science first trimester with my youngest daughter was ANIMALS which fell under the category of living things.
They studied about different kinds of animals which include movements, food eaten, habitat, body covering, baby animals and even taking care of these animals. What we did to learn a variety of concepts is to read varied books, watch DVDs and re-visit old photos from trips to the zoo.
Two of the educational DVDs we watched again and again even if the lessons have been discussed already were Wink to Learn Jungle Feathers and Wink to Learn African Safari.
Wink to Learn Jungle Feathers presented colorful birds from the Jurong Bird Park which is the world’s largest bird park.
Wink to Learn African Safari showed big animals from the Singapore Zoo which is considered as one of the world’s best zoos.
The children loved the flashcard videos because they watched it again and again. They even asked when we were coming over to Singapore to be able to see these animals in the flesh 
These are just two of the DVDs in Wink to Learn Animals Series DVDs.
