| The video "Pond Animals" is a fun, educational, easy-to-watch video for kids of all ages. I have used it as a classroom resource for teaching life cycle units with 2nd and 3rd graders as well as playing it over and over for my 3-year-old son. The video is broken into 4 animal segments for ducks, frogs, salamanders and dragonfly's. The animals are shown in semi-realistic habitats interacting with each other and other types of animals. Each segment is proceeded and ended with a brief animated sequence depicting the animal's life cycle stages. The overall video quality is very good and uses great close up shots of eggs, larvae and adult animals. A super teaching tool for both parents and educators! |
