My 11 yo is using the Earth's Changing Surface book at school. In the chapters I see boxes that direct you to the PH website for some extra features. I have managed to get to those, but how do you get to the Discovery Channel School ones?
For example, one box reads:
Discovery Channel School
Erosion and Deposition
Video Preview
Video Field Trip
Video Assessment
The Video Field Trip is highlighted and has an arrow pointing at it.
How do I get to that resource? I have gone to the Discovery Channel School website but I cannot work out how.
Thank you for your help.

are something you have to buy from PH. They are a supplementary resource for the Science Explorer books.

PH website.
If anybody has this resource, would you mind sharing if it was worth plunking the almost $30.00? Does it contain video clips for all the Science Explorer books or for just one book?

I have this and in my opinion, it is not worth it. Each video contains clips for only one book. The total run time for each video is something like 20 minutes (so that's like 5 minutes or less per clip).
If you have Netflix, you could do just as well getting documentaries on some earth science related topics.

Thank you so much for your input, it is rather a lot of money for what you say it is.
We do have Netflix, so we will try that route.

I'm glad I didn't pay anymore for them. They're pretty lightweight and the intro music drives me crazy.
