Customer Review: This is a fantastic video. I show it at the end of my weather lessons, and the students love it. It mostly talks about tornadoes and hurricanes, but it also goes into why the weather does what it does. The photography is so great - on par for National Geographic. Another good companion video is... more info
Customer Review: I showed this video to my 7th grade science class and they were blown away. It's definitely not overflowing with educational tidbits, mainly because they talk about so many things in such a short movie. However, I showed the video following our unit on earth science, including a section on... more info
Customer Review: ... It is both educational and stupidly funny - that's why my kids (4 and 6) have watched it dozen's of times. My older son now has a great interest in volcanoes, and has checked out several books on the subject. And yes, the cheezy comedy keeps them entertained, without being vulger. Compared to... more info

Customer Review: This isn't really a bad DVD release, but it is on the low end of the quality material expected from National Geographic.

Customer Review: As a teacher of ninth grade science, I fully recommend this video. It is beautifully done! It does a wonderful job of showing students the realities of volcanoes that one just can't see in a textbook. It holds the students' attention and it helps to spark inquiry and interest.
Customer Review: Every year, for the last 15 years, I've shown this video to my 6th grade students. It generates lots of comments and discussions. I really hope that National Geographic releases this on DVD soon, as I'm wearing out my video copy.
Customer Review: I was once again disappointed with a tsunami documentary which lacked much actual film footage. Instead, the program is padded with close-ups of ordinary beach waves, better suited for a surfing documentary. This is not only disappointing, but scientifically inaccurate, since tsunami rarely appear... more info
Customer Review: Those who like to keep their eyes on the sky will appreciate this documentary, which follows geologist Eugene Shoemaker, who as the chief lunar scientist for NASA, trained the astronauts before the moon landings at the nearly mile-wide Meteor Crater near Flagstaff, Arizona. With his wife Carolyn,... more info
