This video is great for kids! My 6 year old is glued to the screen and comes away with an understanding of some simple principles of physics.

5.0 out of 5 stars I Love Roller Coasters, January 17, 2008

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Popular Mechanics for Kids: Rip-Roaring Roller Coasters and All Access to Fun (DVD)

This video is so cool! I was expecting it to just show roller coasters and how fast they go, but no.....it gives you the whole history of roller coasters!

It shows you:

-Roller coaster safety
-Why you can't fall out of a loop
-Gravity....and much more

This video is great for any kid at any age!

Popular Mechanics for Kids: Rip-Roaring Roller Coasters and All Access to Fun

Another interesting group of programs. Be a clown, join Circue du Soleil, find out how they make rides safe and fun.
What makes us get motion sickness? Get this dvd and learn.
My 5 year old boy loves these programs. The first two were so enjoyed I bought the rest of the series.
This was a series on tv at one time, apparently. I hope they package the rest of the programs because the show was fab.
Each dvd has 4 episodes that are somewhat related. The 2 kid hosts explore different aspects of each subject.
Some are surprising but all are interesting, informative and professionally made.
In earlier reviews of this series I forgot to mention that grown ups find these programs interesting as well.
My husband and I love them as well.
