Moody Science Adventures and Moody Science Classics [videos]

Moody Video

Moody has produced a number of series of outstanding science videos that rival National Geographic Society in production quality, and, even better, they recognize God as the Divine Architect behind creation. Titles in the Classics series ($9.95 each) are City of the Bees, Dust or Destiny (God’s amazing creation), Facts of Faith (science experiments are used to demonstrate spiritual truths), God of Creation, Hidden Treasures (microscopic nature), Prior Claim (man’s inventions mimic God’s creation), Red River of Life (circulation), Signposts Aloft (flying), Empty Cities (examination of the Mayan and Incan cultures), and Where the Waters Run (water). The films from the Classics series all have strong spiritual messages that are more the essence of each film than are the science topics.

The Adventures series videos ($14.95 each) are oriented toward science instruction for children. Each video has three, ten-minute segments on different topics. Four videos available are Treasure Hunt/Animals Move/Eight-Legged Engineer, The Power in Plants/Busy as a Bee/Small World, The Clown-Faced Carpenter/Journey to the Stars/Water, and The Wonder of You/A Mystery Story/A Matter of Taste. The Adventures series are good for all elementary grades, although they are targeted for grades 3-6, and they are very reasonably priced.

Moody has other series which I have not yet reviewed, so you will need to check these out for yourself. The Awesome Forces of God’s Creation series includes three videos: Roaring Waters, Thundering Earth, and Whirling Winds ($16.95 each). The Wonders of God’s Creation series includes Planet Earth, Animal Kingdom, and Human Life ($14.95 each). Yet another series, The Creation Discovery series, sounds like it was designed with lots of entertainment via songs, games, and experiments. It includes God’s Power Plants, God’s Rockin’ World, and God’s Earth Team ($14.95 each).
