DVD-Explore Mount St. Helens

basic but understandable
Lacking the fancy geological jargon makes this dvd great for the novice. I would be a 5 star without much repetition

Informative and Biblical
In this second episode of Season 2, Noah Justice takes us to Mount St. Helens, the famous volcano in Washington that erupted for nine hours in 1980.

Using this modern day catastrophic event, creation scientists are able to provide evidence that many of the geologic features around the world could have been caused by the global flood rather than by millions of years of geologic and evolutionary processes. The eruption also provided us with a reminder that God's power is always and forever almighty.

You'll learn about how lava caves form after volcano eruptions, and how the lava tube at Mount St. Helens couldn't possibly have been formed over millions of years because it would have been eroded away in that time period. Noah also shows how landslide deposits help show how subsequent eruptions and mud flows formed layers of strata in a matter of hours and show that other geological layers around the Earth, including the sedimentary layers at the Grand Canyon, could...

Volcano!
What kid doesn't think a volcano is cool? My kids sure do! I was excited for them to learn more about Mt. St. Helens. It's important for them to begin learning real information about real places- not just generalized info on the Earth's phenomenons. And were they ever excited!

As Noah Justice took them on another journey to see God's miracles, they sat in awe. Apple just soaks in all the information. She loves science and I'm always amazed by all the facts she remembers from the Awesome Science episodes. I think the terrific visuals provided on the DVDs works well for both Speedy and Apple. The DVD format keeps them interested and helps them to understand the information.

Of course we love the study guides as well. They help us to review the information later to make sure the kids understood the information. It also helps that Noah Justice is just 14. They would much rather learn from another "kid" than from an adult. It keeps it "cool." These episodes are just...
