The slow green world of plants comes to vibrant life in this installment of the award-winning Eyewitness series. Combining brilliant graphics, crystal-clear footage, and a smooth flow from topic to topic, Plant educates and entertains folks of all ages (even adults!); best of all, it's interesting enough to enjoy again and again. The time-lapse photography of root growth, the interplay between flowers and insects, and the historical vignettes detailing our long dependence on a broad array of plants amazes and delights. Each new image, each new fact inspires kids to ask questions and learn more, results any educator would envy. Like the others in this series, Eyewitness: Plant belongs in every family's video library. --Rob Lightner

This review is from: EyeWitness - Plants (VHS Tape)

As is the entire series, this episode is upbeat and loaded with information.
One student who failed biology, and was repeating the course, told me "I learned more in half an hour than I did all last year".
