"Janet's Planet: Exploring Microgravity" DVD (Review
& Giveaway)
ENDS June 10 "Catch a Falling Star" by Beth K.
Vogt (Christian fiction)
I remember the day in 1969
when man first walked on the
Moon. I remember with pride,
too, that it was America that put
a man there first. I recall with
awe the achievement this was
and the eyes glued to the
television, magazines, and
newspapers trying to garner
some insight some
understanding of just what this
was and what it meant to us. I
recall, too, my young children
simply enthralled even though they couldn't comprehend it or the immensity of it.
The Space Program became household words. Schools ramped up their science
programs even more than before. The new frontier had just been breeched and
America wanted to stay first in line.
ENDS June 12 "A Place for Turtles" childrens
non-fiction picture book
But the knowledge that keeps America first in line starts with that first instruction in
science and the scientific study of Earth, of gravity, and of what makes things do
what they do. The instruction must come to the child in a comprehensible and
engaging manner. That leads us to Janet's Planet and the DVD we're going to talk
about today.
From Janet Ivey: For the past decade, science education has been my passion and
America’s children have been my inspiration. It is incredible to see how excited
children can become about the world around them when the information is presented
in an accessible and FUN way. That is the mission of Janet’s Planet, and I look
forward to continuing to support better science education in the years to come.

Review: The DVD begins with a splash of color and sound that immediately grabs
the child's attention. This is a fast paced, fact packed DVD that explores gravity and
micro-gravity. It gives definitions of gravity that are precise and understandable. If
not understood by the child on first mention, no worry. Janet Ivey repeats and
reiterates. This is good instruction. This is lively. This is interesting. And this is fun.
I can see the 5 to 7 year old being entertained and gleaning some information from
watching. I can also see that it would be very beneficial through the middle grades.
Why, even adults can learn from this. The child will learn that science is not
something new but it has been around for centuries and that great minds have had
part in the evolving understanding of the facts of gravity.
The DVD ends with a flight aboard an airplane that simulates "0" gravity (or microgravity). This is fun to watch and the kids will enjoy. I recommend this DVD for
homeschools, regular classroom use, and individuals who simply want to learn

You can never learn that Christ is all you need,
until Christ is all you have ~Corrie Ten Boom
"God has a very unique way of
scooping up the shattered fragments of
our hopes and dreams and molding
them into a plan of His own - a plan
vastly different from ours, but far more
wonderful."
--Anita Dittman, Holocaust survivor
Man has a madness to misuse that which his mind
has manufactured.--Vera G.
A mountain top view is always the more appreciated
after you climb out of a dark valley.--Vera G.
To achieve great things, two things are needed: a
plan, and not quite enough time.— Leonard
Bernstein
I believe that one of the reasons we
have children is to teach us lessons.
One of these is that we should be
grateful for what God does for us and is
doing in us.--Vera
